Summer Assignment: Entry One

I started reading "Looking for Alaska" by John Green. It is about a rising junior, Miles who is transferring from an ordinary public school in Florida to a nitty gritty boarding school in Alabama. After arriving at Culver Creek Preparatory High School he learns that there are two social groups. The Weekend Warriors who are the rich kids that pull pranks on all the other students at school. Kevin who is the leader of the Weekend Warriors is at the least to say, a bully. He and his gang of stuck-up kids go along with almost everything he says. Then there are the ordinary kids that pull pranks on the Weekend Warriors. Miles soon realizes that in order to survive at this school you have to be tough. His roommate Chip, a tough, smoking, drinking, goes-with-whatever kind of guy explains one simple rule to Miles. Do not rat anyone out. After Chip, who prefers to be called "The Colonel",  gives his intense  lecture to Miles they walk over to another dorm. There we meet Alaska. She captivates Miles' attention in a minute with her beauty but we soon notice her moody, clever, wild, and unpredictable personality. A couple days later Takumi is introduced. Like all the other characters he is very intelligent however he is very nosey. Last summer two students were caught breaking three of the school's biggest rules by "The Eagle" who is the dean of the students. They were expelled and all the students are curious to find out who ratted them out. This starts the book's conflict because the Weekend Warriors accused Chip for ratting them out and then for punishment they wrap Miles up in duct-tape and threw him in the lake. This starts the never ending suspicions, accusations, and pranks. I predict that the pranks will get so out of control someone else will get suspended. So far this book reminds me of "The Outsiders" just because of the two totally different social groups. The Socs are like the Weekend Warriors and the Greasers are like the other students.
