During the second quarter I had read the book Looking for Alaska by John Green. While yes, it is a very basic book, it is by far one of my favorites. Even though the story is told through the main character Miles perspective, my favorite character by far was Alaska. In the story she was very complex, confusing, and just like any other teenage girl. In my opinion, Alaska really shaped the whole story because majority of it did revolve around her; however, she had influenced many of the characters and the story line. Alaska’s character had also evolved in the novel as well. When first introduced she was very hard headed and a little closed off, but as the story progressed she had as well. She had become more open with Miles and did not close herself off as much.
I really had chose Alaska as my connecting character because I can relate with her. There are many similar family oriented problems that I had to try and overcome like her. Not only that, she is very spunky and spontaneous and I most definitely can see myself as that. She would go out in the middle of the night and do the most wild things just because she felt like it. The biggest reasoning for my connection is because Alaska’s character goes through the biggest struggle as a teen which is depression, even though she doesn’t fully make it out she still tries to prosper everyday through it like any other person would try and do.
