summer reading #4
I chose this book out of all of the other books because I have been watching and reading john greens videos and books, and also because, I like non fiction with a little touch of romance some times. Nothing can compare to a book that contains love and romance , and a happy never ending couple. I really like this book because it just pin points how the events occurred. I highly recommend this book if you are in middle school or higher. I would also recommend this to a diligent reader , or somebody that just likes to read love and romance novels. Another reason I like this book is because I can picture the novel in my head while reading it. I would recommend this to teachers to hand out to their students to read, because it has a lot of emotions going on at the same time happy , and sad. This leads up to my conclusion of why I chose this book.

major characters:
Miles "Pudge"Halter, he had never really had fit in also, though life was unfulfilled he discusses a poem with "great perhaps "and this really becomes the overall theme throughout the book.pudge is an nerd and an unsocial person. Pudge also remembers peoples last words and also famous people last words also.
Chip "the colonel"Martin,chip was somewhat nerdy and has been at culver creek for a really long time. Chip is Pudges roommate and he gave miles the nickname "pudge"also he has an possible crush on Alaska. Chip is somewhat very social and is very angry at the warriors because they are very spoiled and bratty rich kids.
Takumi Harihoto,Takumi is an rapper and is the jokester of the group,Takumi had secrets that he had told pudge about how takumi was there when Alaska had died and that explained that it was his fault that she died because he could of stopped her from killing her self.
Alaska Young, Alaska was a beautifuland rebellious girl who soon met and fell into love pudge,Takumi and colonel most likely have an crush on Alaska.in the end Alaska dies.
Lara Buterskaya, lara is an exchange student an later on becomes pudges girlfriend. lara is nice and friendly to everyone of her peers and family,lara has an ability despite her background to assimilate or do anything fro the group, she transitions nicely.
The Eagle, eagle is the dean of culver creek , he got the name Eagle because he watches over everything. Eagle created the tri fecta rule , which means you need to follow the rules to stay in culver creek. Eagle always has to put up with students pranks and immaturity.
MS. Martin, martin is the colonels mom and she works at Waffle House and later on in the book she invites pudge and Alaska to come to their Thanksgiving Dinner.
Setting
Everything important for the setting takes place on Culver Creek Campus. Culver Creek Boarding School is located in Alabama. The theme began off away from campus then the theme starts on campus. Pudge meets some nice friendly students while he was on campus . The image of the campus is a clean and sanitized atmosphere where Miles finds himself to succeed in finding a possibility of the "great perhaps". Culver Creek has No Parents allowed policy which gives the students the power to focus strictly on themselves and to be independent. The dorm settings are hot and have no central air and , they also come with a shower and minimal room to maneuver.
Conflict
the colonel and the warriors are having constant conflict between each other and they are constantly getting revenge on each other. The colonel dislikes the warriors because they act like they are to good for them. I believe that most of the conflict is internal because it happens between the colonel and the warriors. I think that both the colonel and the warriors should all just get along because they all live under the same circumstances.
