Looking For Alaska By John Green

Prompt: Describe the main characters.

Pages Read: 100- End

In Looking For Alaska by John Green, there are only 3 main characters. The first main character is Miles "Pudge" Halter. He is mostly the main character throughout the book. Pudge (how his friends call him) is a tall, skinny, blonde hair guy. One of Pudge's hobbies is to remember famous people's last words. He is really quiet person, but only when he isn't with his friends. Pudge didn't have friends before he went to Culver Creek (Culver Creek is the name of the boarding school he goes too). Ever since Pudge began going to Culver Creek his friends encouraged him to smoke and drink. That has now also become one of his hobbies too.

The second main character in this book is Chip "The Colonel" Martin. He is Pudge's roommate. The Colonel is short, muscular, thick-brown haired guy. The Colonel likes to remember countries. He hates people that have a lot money, wanna-be people, people that rat, or people that like to show off a lot. He hates these kinds of people because when he was younger his dad left him and his mother. The Colonel and his mother had to live the poor life. His mother and him had to live in a trailer their whole life. The Colonel's wish is to one day buy his mother a house of her own.

The third and last main character in this book is Alaska Young. She is one of Colonel's and Pudge's closet friend. Alaska is not that tall nor that short. She has green eyes, blonde hair, and is pretty smart. Alaska likes to read a lot of books, especially poetry. Alaska likes to drink and smoke, even though that isn't allowed in Culver Creek. The thing Alaska is known all over Culver Creek are her pranks. She is the expert in all kinds of pranks. Alaska is really out-going, funny, and clever. Once Pudge meets her, she changes his world upside down. Until one day everything ends...
