Summer Reading Assignment: Entry 1

The book Looking for Alaska starts with Miles who is moving to a boarding school. Miles is a junior and is studying at Culver Creek Boarding School. With this being Miles' first year at Culver Creek, he has no idea what to expect.  Miles goes through a rocky start to say the least. After he meets his roommate Chip who actually goes by Colonel and assigns Miles with the ironic name of Pudge (him being a scrawny boy it makes no sense). He is then introduced to Alaska Young, who seems to be the cigarette dealer. More characters like Takumi and Lara who I predict is going to be Miles' girlfriend after matchmaker Alaska pairs those two together.
So far Miles has also had a near death experience after a group of Weekday Warriors (super rich kids, aka rivals of Colonel and his group) punish him for being assosiated with Colonel who apparently ratted out their friend. A big rule at Culver Creek Boarding School is to not rat someone out to the "Eagle". The Eagle is the dean of the school formally known as Mr.Starnes. There is so much more to happen in Looking for Alaska with the Weekday Warriors pursuit to find out who got their friend expelled and with Pudge's search for a girlfriend (which later in the book I see him with Alaska considering the name of the book).
