Looking for Alaska

For my summer reading assignment I decided to read the book, Looking for Alaska. Right now I am about half way through the book and so far I am really enjoying it. The main characters in the book are Pudge, the Colonel, Alaska, and finally Takumi. This book takes place at a boarding school called Culver Creek. Each character faces there own smaller problem but he main problem that these for characters face is that the are currently in a rivalry against some people called Weekday Warriors; who are kids that are rich and only stay on the campus over the week. They are mad at each other because someone ratted out a couple at the campus for being in each others room after ours. Each party thinks that other one did it. I predict that by the end of the book they are going to figure out who ratted the couple out and it is going to cause some huge conflicts. The whole book doesn't remind me of any other work that I have read but I know that there are boarding schools and it kind of sounds like a college. I also I seen the play a west side story and it sort of resembles it but only because of the two sides that don't get along.   

Looking for Alaska

In the book I am reading the main characters are Pudge, the Colonel, Alaska, and Takumi. Pudge is the character that the whole book is centered around. His main goal in the book is to hook up with the girl named Alaska. The only problem is she is dating a guy back in her home town. Alaska is a girl that is smart but has gotten herself into some trouble. She seems to be very outgoing and not afraid of anything. She seems to hold a grudge and is very persistent. Chip, also known as the Colonel, is friends with Alaska and recently befriended Pudge. I feel the he is a lot like Alaska and holds a grudge and always wants revenge. The author doesn't focus on Takumi to often. He is always hanging around Alaska and Chip and seem to know a lot of their problems. A theme that stands out right now is to not jump to conclusions before you absolutely know the entire story. And also not to hold a grudge for to long. My book is stricter kind of like a diary. They have it count down the days to a big event then it counts the amount of days after the event but they don't say what the event is so it makes it suspenseful.
