In this extract Miles has a date with Lara. It takes place at the play in the gym but has a - maybe I would call it - special end: Miles has a concussion and vomits on Laras legs!
The rainy days after this the Colonel plans the big prank and Miles gets to know Takumi better.
In the end Alaska is persuading Miles to stay Thanksgiving at Culver Creek with her.
But in this extract are some funny and striking aspects.
First I find it curious that Alaska organised the date for Miles, but I think this shows her special character again.
Next I liked that Takumi´s character is more involved it seems that he could become a real good friend for Miles.
In my opinion he has a great balanced and humorous way of expressing himself.
And the last point I wanted to point out is the end. I find it some kind of tricky how Alaska tried with her affection and charme to convince Miles staying Thanksgiving. But there is one question that makes me think:
Is she really interested in Miles or is it just that she does not want to celebrate another Thanksgiving alone because she refuses going home like all the years before?
All in all I would say we get pretty much closer to the inside of Alaska during these pages and I think every ready has already an own opinion about her until this point of the story.

First I liked it, too, John Green involved Takumi's character more, because it helps the reader to be able to estimate Alaska a bit better.
AntwortenLöschenHowever, I do not really like the end, as Alaska is only thinking about herself. She is the only thing she seems to care about. She uses her influence deliberately to manipulate Miles. On one hand I think Alaska could be a good friend and she ahs a very interessting and astonsihing charakter, but on the other hand she somtime act like an egoistic asshole.
sehr gut,danke das hat mir echt weitergeholfen..Hausaufgaben sind gerettet.
