"How could i abandon my parents, who were nice enough to pay for my education at Culver Creek, my parents who had always loved me, just because i maybe like some girl with a boyfriend? How could i leave them alone with a giant turkey and mounds of inedible cranberry sauce?" (pg 78) Pudge (formally known as Miles), the main character who from the beginning gave the reader the hint that he likes Alaska Young. I think that in this part of the book, he realizes it. He also realizes how crazy it is to like her and to want to be with a self-destructive girl like Alaska who also has a boyfriend already.
"I go to seek a Great Perhaps" A quote that Miles seems to live by, which is the last words of Francois Rabelais. In the book I got the idea that Alaska Young is the "Great Perhaps". Going with that quote it could mean that anything could happen. I think the quote on page 78 about how Miles left his parents to spend Thanksgiving with Alaska is an important quote in this book because it is the point where Miles actually realizes what he has gotten into.
