Summer Assignment: Entry Two

In Looking for Alaska the character Alaska Young desired mostly to be happy and care free. Alaska tried to achieve this by getting wasted and pulling pranks. When drinking could not solve her problems Alaska took drastic actions which altered every character in the second half of the book. Her best friend Miles wanted to seek a "great perhaps' and make new memories and experiences. Chip's desire was to keep his girlfriend happy even they had a horrible relationship, keep Alaska safe, and pull pranks. a theme from my book is live what you have to the best. This is because most of the characters have gotten a rough life and situations in life. They spend most of their free time complaining about it and grieving instead of learning from it and moving on. Finally toward the end of the book Miles came to the realization that you can't control what you get in life. However you can control how you deal with it and how your let it shape you into what you can become.
