Critic’s Choice Review of Looking for Alaska by John Green Miles “Pudge” Hatler’s boring obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the ‘’Great Prehaps’’ (Francois Rablais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, and anything-but-boring world of Cluver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe because down the hall is Alaska Young; the gorgeous, clever, funny, self destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself.

Since Alaska herself smokes and drinks, Pudge started drinking and smoking which he never did after he met her.

Even though Pudge never had a history with trouble making he was desperate to be popular and feel like he belonged. This made him get out of his comfort zone and do things he had never done before. Pudge was taking risks and playing pranks on the school’s principle with the Colonel, Takumi, Alaska and Lara. Since Alaska was the type that was careless and risky he thought that this would be another opportunity for him to get her attention. The Colonel was Pudge’s roommate and Takumi was Colonel’s and
