Entry Two- Summer Assignment

The characters in Looking for Alaska vary a lot from each other because some of them are more complex and we have learned more about them than some. The main character Miles "Pudge" Halter is more complex, since at the beginning of the book you get his life story in a way. Miles wants to find him self and find where he could fit in and be more himself rather than being the lonely kid with two friends at his other school, he wants to find a crowd of people where he can be who he wants to be, when it says "Francois Rabelais. He was a poet. And his last words were 'I go to seek a Great Perhaps.' That's why i'm going. So i don't have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps.."(Green 5). Miles also desires to learn more of who Alaska is since she seems more mysterious and out there, since no one will tell him about her, he wants to find out for himself.
Chip Martin is Miles' roommate, he is know by his friends as "Colonel". Colonel wants to find the people that mess with him or his friends and take them down and ruin their "little lives". Besides that he really doesn't want much more. While reading he says to Miles "...because we need to figure out why they're so, uh, pissed at me. And then we need to go ahead and start thinking about how we're going to ruin their miserable little lives"(Green 29). 
Alaska Young is the mysterious, young , and beautiful girl that keeps Miles on his toes and thinking "what's she up to?" or "what is up with her?"  Her wants and desires are to escape the "labyrinth of suffering". At one point Alaska is talking about Simon Bolivar and his famous last words about a labyrinth and Miles asks " So what's a labyrinth?" and she replies " That's the mystery, isn't it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape-- the world or the end of it?"(Green 19).Looking for Alaska: Character Analysis and the Labyrinth

Lastly Kevin, he isn't very developed yet, and his wants and desires are yet to be determined.

The theme that I've noticed that has developed the most would be expect the unexpected, you can see that when it says " --probably for the first time in my life-- the fear and excitement of living in a place where you never know what's going to happen or when" (Green 29). 

The structure of Looking for Alaska is in the first person, where the story is told by the point of view of one character at a time. Though, the story is mainly told in the point of view of Miles. The structure isn't really one solid thing, more of a variation of any different types of book structures.
