Looking For Alaska Book Report

The novel Looking for Alaska by John Green takes place in Culver Creek, Alabama. This book was pleasurable to read and is recommended. The exposition of the story begins when we are introduced to the main character, Miles, a very intelligent teen, who didn’t have any friends at his old school. He leaves his home in Florida to go to a boarding school in Culver Creek, Alabama. There, he meets his roommate Chip also known as “the Colonel” and Chips best-friend Alaska. Chip and Alaska are both extremely intelligent, but they both have struggling families. The rising action begins when the author describes how Miles falls deeply in love with Alaska. Miles meets two of their closest friends, Takumi and Lara. Miles goes on multiple dates with Lara even though he loves Alaska, but Alaska has a boyfriend. The climax begins when the dean of their school calls them in for a meeting in order for him to announce that Alaska passed away the night last night due to a car accident. Miles and Chip are devastated. The falling action develops when Miles and Chip decide they are going to
The climax is presented in a mysterious ways. For example, Alaska’s death didn’t have much background information; Miles and Chip knew that the dean was unaware of the full story, just like them. Takumi, knowing that he wasn’t going to be there for graduation left a note in their room the day before describing everything that happened that day and why it played out that way. The conflict was plotted perfectly in the story. The climax was both melodramatic and calamitous. I enjoyed reading the conflict because it kept you attached to the book and the characters, you feel like you are witnessing the story yourself; it effects you a makes you ponder what would you do if you were in the same situation as Miles or Chip. I recommend the novel Looking for Alaska by John
