Entry One

For my summer reading book I chose to read Looking for Alaska by John Green, who also wrote the novel The Fault in Our Stars. When I  started reading Looking for Alaska I could hardly put it down which is nothing like me... especially during summer. I had to take a break from reading so I could make predictions before I got too far. While reading the same question repeated through my mind and that it 'before what?', because instead of chapters Green says something like "one hundred nine days before" and I keep wondering before what, what is going to happen. With that I think that someone is going to die and something really bad is going to happen to them, or maybe even disappear. I have a feeling it will be Alaska because the title of the novel is Looking for Alaska so I think something will happen to her I'm just not quite sure what. I have just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars also written by John Green and I have found a connection between these two books. Even though John Green wrote both of these there are still many different things but one very similar thing that I noticed and that is that Green does not sugar coat real life and he makes his book how real life is instead of like most books that end in a happy fairytale way like most books do. That is why I have really enjoyed reading both Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars.
