 Book&Author: Looking for Alaska, John Green

 Question 27

So if I would have been the author for Looking for Alaska I would definitely not change the ending of the story. Way before when you come to the end, it feels that the end has already come to you. Or in other words, it felt that you are just in the middle of the story, the story has alreay ended. Half way in the story there is a page that is totally black with the word "After". If you haven't read Looking for Alaska you of course have no clue of what that page really means. But after that page, the story was never the same. Like it says at the back of the book. I won't try to spoil to much but all of a sudden Alaska dies and I really loved how John Green ended the story.

Question 7

In the beginning of the story you wouldn't believe that it will end like it did end. Through out the book I didn't really get to know how Alaska was as a person until the climax. For example something about her family etc.. So for Alaska being one of the main characters I only knew that she loved smoking, drinking etc. When the time Alaska dies in the book no one really knows why she died. I think that John Green should have done some foreshadowing or a flashback of Alaska's life so we get to know more about  her life at the beginning when Alaska gets introduced. And maybe also one of the reasons she took suicide is something that maybe has been disturbing her from the past.
