1. In the novel Looking For Alaska by John Green it introduces Miles Halter who is beginning his first year at Culver Creek High School. Miles meets his new roommate, The Colonel, who introduces him to new things like smoking and most importantly Alaska. Throughout the book these teenager are looking for "The Great Perhaps". Miles begins to fall deeply in love with Alaska but he isn't so sure if she feels the same way. Alaska, Miles and The Colonel constantly pull pranks but they want one to be a one to remember so they plan a huge prank and it all turns to the worst.
2.I would say the theme is discovering yourself. By the end of the book almost every character has figured something out about themselves because of the experiences they have been through.
3. The tone of the story mostly revolves around a tragedy but also the story contains tones of bitterness and there is a tone of hopefulness at the end of the story.
4.In the book it uses personification for example, "Bur even in the dark I could see her eyes- fierce emeralds." Also another literary element the novel uses us metaphors one example would be "Be present in this class. And then when its over, be present out there."
5. "I hated being careful too- or wanted to at least.", shoes direct characterization. Miles saying this shows he wants to change himself from being to careful because he doesn't like that trait about himself. "What you must understand about me is that I am deeply unhappy person."(Direct) In this quote it reveals that Alaska may have a personality that everyone else knows but on the inside she is unhappy."If people were rain I was drizzle and she was a hurricane."(Indirect) Pudge(Miles) says this showing that he can see people like Alaska as more than normal. It shows he can notice traits about people easily.
