Looking for Alaska
John Green100 days before Predict
The chapter starts with Pudge and Alaska, both sitting on a worn leather couch, watching MTV in the TV Lounge.
Alaska explained the origins of her name; saying that her present for her 7th birthday is that she got to pick her own name. She claimed that she chose Alaska as her name because 'It was big, just like how I wanted to be. And it was damn far away from Vine Station, Alabama.'
They spent the rest of the afternoon watching TV, cracking jokes about commercials; saying that Blue Citrus needs its own car commercial.
Now let's pretend I haven't finished this book before and had just read up to now.
To quote Miles 'Pudge' Halter; "Thomas Edison's last words were 'It's very beautiful over there.' I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I know it's beautiful- and Enigmatic.
i guess predict was not too effective as your reading strategy for this read. if you have indeed finished this book before, use one of the other strategies such as evaluate, clarify or visualize as you would be more equipped to explain the details and express your opinions from reading it a second or third time:-)
