Looking For Alaska Journal One

This quarter of "Looking for Alaska" is a real hoot! This quarter of the book took me right into 

the foot steps of miles. I felt almost as though I had been right there with miles, entering Culver Creek. In the first quarter of "Looking for Alaska" we learn that Miles is not the most popular guy at his home in Florida, and by attending Culver Creek he will find his "Great Perhaps." When Miles arrives at Culver Creek he meets his roommate Chip, and makes some new friends, Alaska and Takumi. I found these characters easy to relate to which helped me place myself in the book. John Green has done a great job with the introduction to the characters and the over all plot of the story. When Miles first arrives to his new school, his parents tell him to stay away from trouble and not to mix in with the wrong crowed. Miles befriends the "bad" kids. The exact thing Miles parents wanted him to stay away from. I think this one of the reason this book is so addictive to read. It gives you an insight on what it might be like to break the rules and be a rebellious teenager. The first quarter of this book gives a great look on what the rest of the book will be like. John Green does a great job of describing how the characters feel during certain moments within the book. For example he really goes out of his way to explain how Miles and his parents are feeling when they have to say their goodbyes when the drop Miles off at Culver Creek. I found this book almost addictive while reading. Its one of those books you never want to put down. It always has you wondering what will happen next. I can't wait to keep reading this great book!
