Writing Prompt: 1. If the author were here, what would you say and ask him/her? 2. What are two emotions the main character has felt? What made the main character feel this way?
If the author (John Green) were here to answer questions about the book (Looking for Alaska), I would ask him: Why did you decide to write this book? I am wondering this because I am also wondering (and going to ask him): Does this book have anything connection to your life? Like Edgar Allen Poe, John Green's life might have an effected this book. I would also ask him: What was the first book you wrote? and Was this the first, second, third book you wrote?
I would tell John Green that I know that I will very much enjoy this book. I have not read it yet but so far I am enjoying it. For some reason I think that all his book are going to be great because he is the author of Fault in our Stars. I would also tell him that he is a very good author and I hope he continues to write more books. A series perhaps? Speaking of that, I would ask him: Are in going to write another book?, Are you in the process of writing a new book?, and Will you ever write a book series, such as the Hunger Games?
So far the main character in my book is Miles Halter, also known as "Pudge". One emotion that Miles has felt is fear. When he was going through a type of initiation he was taped from wrists to shoulders and ankles to thighs. After this he was thrown into the lake! Being taped, wearing nothing but your underwear, and drowning would fear anyone. A second emotion Miles has experienced is an emotion close to love. There is this girl named Alaska. Miles think Alaska is the prettiest girl he is ever met. It says so many times in the book.
The reason I chose this picture is because in the story, Miles became friends with people who smoke and this causes Miles to smoke even though his parents told him not to.
I have read this book and I can see where all of these questions come from. John Green has wrote more books. For example he has also written a book called Paper Towns. It is a good book, I recommend it. I hope you enjoy this book and nice job on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI have also read this book and this book gets very interesting but I also believe that you should have described the picture better because some people haven't read the book and I feel that this may cause people to be discombobulated. In conclusion I really enjoyed your blog and I can't wait to see how you react to the book in the end.
ReplyDeleteI have provided an explanation for the picture. Hope it is accurate!
DeleteI haven't read this book but I plan on reading it. Your blog was good, but as Justin said, I think that you could have described the picture a little for the people who haven't read it. The last thing I noticed was that in the first paragraph, I'm pretty sure that the word is spelled as 'affected' instead of 'effected'. But, other than that, you had good questions for the author.
ReplyDeleteI have provided an explanation for the picture. Hope you can understand better now!
DeleteI haven't read this Looking for Alaska yet but this blog has made me really interested in it I had one question but looking through the comments you clarified it thank you
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I liked how you connected this with Edgar Allen Poe and connected other books like The Fault In Our Stars and The Hunger Games. I liked how you gave the example of how he felt the feeling of fear.
