Looking for Alaska: Connection to My Life
In this book, they are at a boarding school. I myself have had an experience similar to boarding school before. This summer I took History of Western Art at Johns Hopkins University. Although all the other kids were my age (13) it was like I was at college or boarding school. I could relate when they skipped breakfast so they didn't have to wake up early and they just had to go straight to class. I can also relate to having a roommate and similar to Pudge and the Colonel, we got along very well. I think that if you had a roommate that you didn't get along with, your life would be living heck. Luckily, that didn't happen to me and I had a great time this summer.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea that you took a few weeks away last summer...I guess I knew you took courses there before but I thought they were online.
Can you easily imagine boarding school kids getting into the high-jinx the kids in Looking for Alaska getting into? Or, do you think John Greene is embellishing the situation a tad?
