Looking for Alaska

I've heard this book is pretty decent. I decided to research it a little more and see what I think of it.


I found out it's about this boy named Miles, that's really shy and has no friends. He wants to transfer schools, where he basically lives at. He meets a guy named Colonel and a girl named Alaska. Throughout, the book they become really good friends. Miles gets in trouble with his friends and starts missing out on family things. Alaska gets in a really bad accident and everything changes.


This sounds like a book I would like to read. Many of my friends have said it's very good.

Connections

I believe relating to the book elixir is very hard. Not many people have a life where their being followed around. I sure can say I'm not being followed. But I think some of us can say we've had the feeling that someone may be watching us. Clea Raymond has been followed her whole life because of her dad. Some people out there can say this is their life story because out in our world today there are some sick people who are willing to get in trouble to hurt others that did nothing to them. Therefore, I believe this is a text verses society relationship.
