The characters

     In my book, Looking for Alaska, I am far enough to know what the characters are starting to want. For example, Pudge and Alaska have tension between them to where they are madly in love already, although they barely know each other. Alaska, unfortunately for Pudge, has a boyfriend. So, Pudge and Alaska want each other. Now the Colonel is having troubles with his girlfriend. They are both bad girl/boyfriend material, so they deserve each other, that's the only reason they're together still, so other than that, Colonel is just free. Lives day-by-day. Doesn't really want something. Not yet anyway.
   I would say that the main theme in this book is love. Finding love, losing love, and most importantly looking for love. colonel and Alaska hook him up with some girls, when really Pudge just wants Alaska, hence the title. Now my book is split up into two main parts: Before and After. Then in the Before, it is separated into days: days before the After.  The Before is when Pudge is pulled into Alaska's world and makes him fall in love with her, and After that, nothing is the same.
