In
the beginning of the book, Miles Halter is about to go to boarding school in
the middle of his high school career. He is doing this because he doesn’t have
much of a life at his current school and wants to do more things. The first
time Miles gets to his school, he gets the nickname Pudge because of how skinny
he is, which makes it very ironic.
I
think Pudge will become very popular in his new school. He’ll forget about his
old friends and his roommate, Colonel. I think this because I feel like Colonel
is very smart but doesn’t really care about others. But I think Pudge is going
to fall in love with Colonel’s friend, Alaska. I think it will be difficult for
them to work out because she is so different from everyone else. Alaska and him
are very different, I feel like she will get him into more trouble than
intended. This will lead to Miles parents getting mad at him possibly getting
kicking him out of his new school.
I
have a couple questions, such as: Why did Miles get thrown into the lake? Why
do people hate Miles roommate so much? What is Alaska’s story and where is she
from? Why did Miles want to go to a new school so bad, was it something with
his past?
