Looking for Alaska

For my second quarter SSR book, I read Looking for Alaska by John Green. In my opinion, one of the most interesting characters in the book was Alaska. Throughout the book, we can tell that there is a clear connection between Alaska and Miles, the main character; however, they do not end up together due to Alaska being unable to commit to him and not wanting to admit her feeling for him. Although she did not date Miles, she did have a boyfriend in her life, but throughout this relationship, she still seems to have that connection and feelings for Miles.

I can personally relate to Alaska's character the most because she has a hard time trusting people. This causes certain relationships with important people in her life to begin to drift. Because of this, she does not try to gain close bonds with people. This leaves the few close friends that she does create a special bond with, all of which she would do anything for. All in all, Alaska is the most mysterious character, in my opinion, so I enjoyed her role in the book.
