6/27/2023 0 Comments Looking for alaska by john green![]() ![]() The relationship that forms between Miles and Alaska builds the story, but this book is so much more than a romance. A huge part of the book revolves around the relationship between Miles and Alaska. The characters must learn how to understand the mental and physical issues that they all are dealing with, whether it is relationship problems, depression, or anxiety. The labyrinth in this case is life and suffering, and that is what much of the book is about: figuring out how to get out of the labyrinth of suffering. Alaska is obsessed with Simone Bolivar (His last words being “How am I ever to get out of this labyrinth”). He finds himself at a boarding school in Alabama, and while there, he meets two fascinating people: Colonel, his new roommate, and Alaska, an expressive, unpredictable, and emotional girl who seems larger than life. Looking for Alaska tells the story of Miles, an introspective junior who is obsessed with the last words of famous people. These ideas are seen in what may be his best work: Looking for Alaska. ![]() The books always focus around an ambiguous theme often relating to empathy or mental health issues.
