I just started reading the Book Looking for Alaska, I am predicting that it is going to be a very dramatic book. The main character Miles seems like he is kind of lonely and is in need of company. Miles just went to boarding school and had a dramatic exit with his parents. He has a new roommate who walks in while Miles was in the shower so it was not the best greeting. I think that Miles might be in a depressed stage because he seems like he is really not happy with his life and wanted to desperately get away from his parents so I hope that Miles does not end up wanting to commit suicide.

     When Miles first got to his cabin he imagined talking to a person. This made me feel like he just wanted to be popular. I think that maybe Miles will meet someone in camp that he will love so much that he will become happy and not feel like he has no place anywhere. This could be Chip but personally I think that this character will be released more halfway through the book. I think Miles thought that he had too much of an easy life at home where he was cherished by his parents so he felt like he needed to got out on his own and explore and also follow in his dads footstep by going to boarding school.

     I have not personally had a situation where i have wanted to desperately be part of a group, but i know someone who has and I have definitely seen the affect over the years. This person had a lot of confidence but was not rude about. Now he is more stubborn about it and he wants to show off and be funny. I think if you have talents then you could brag if you're desperate for attention but keep it to a minimum, because then people will not want to talk to you anymore because all you would talk about is your talent. I think Miles might try to lie about it. I think Chip might ask him if he plays any sports and Miles will lie and brag about his fake football career.

     In conclusion I think this is going to be a great a book and it has already gotten me interested. I hope Miles does not become conceded and just keeps calm and be himself which could be a lesson for everyone who reads the book.
