“Happiness can exist
only in acceptance” – George Orwell
My opinion on the novel
People say there are five stages of grief,
denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Looking for Alaska demonstrates the stages more clear than any
other novels in this blog. The novel revolves around a protagonist who
losses a close friend, Alaska, and facilitates story of him coping the loss. As
Miles realize the death of Alaska, he blurts out “I think she’s playing a dumb
prank.”(141)
Through out the novel readers will journey along side of a teenager coping with grief.
Who am i
Takumi
is the kind of a guy who’s there yet not really, at the same time. I’m not talking
about being quiet, or anything of that sort; in fact, he’s one of the more
energetic characters in the novel. When I say he’s there yet not really, I mean
even though he’s present, he affects little or no impact on people around him.
He just blends in a crowd. That is ME. I just blend. Like Takumi, I’m there for
the sake of being there.
