Alaska, Alaska, Alaska.

Pudge met a girl named Lara, she was Russian, and they met in Alaska's car going to McDonald's. Lara really liked him, so, Alaska said that they should all go in a triple date and a half with Pudge and Lara, Alaska and Jake, The Colonel and Sara and Takumi. The night of the date, Pudge got hit by a basketball and he got a concussion. While he was in the hospital, The Colonel and Sara broke up and Alaska got mad at him. Pudge also discovered that Alaska was the one who tattle-tailed to the Eagle about Marya. The week-day warriors pranked Alaska by flooding her whole room. Thanksgiving came up and Alaska asked Pudge to stay with her because she didn't want to go home and he agreed. Since they were alone in the school, they smoked and drank a lot. One day the Colonel appeared and told them that his mom couldn't let them eat in thanksgiving by themselves so she invited them over and they ate dinner together. Pudge started falling madly in love with Alaska little by little. 

"Cornbread!" he screamed.

"Chicken!" the crowd responded.

"Rice!"

"Peas!"

And then, all together: "WE GOT HIGHER SATs."

"Hip Hip Hip Hooray!" the Colonel cried.

"YOULL BE WORKIN' FOR US SOMEDAY!"

When I read this fragment of the book I was incredibly impressed that people could be so mean! I can relate that people in this world can be the worst or the best. We can be mean and no matter to who, they can be blind or deaf and still we keep doing it. I think that it is wrong because we don't know what they feel and if they like it or not. 

"And then on my seventh birthday, my present was that I got to pick my name. Cool, huh? So I spent the whole day looking at my dad's globe for a really cool name. And so my first choice was Chad, like the country in Africa. But then my dad said that was a boy's name, so I picked Alaska."

I think that it is pretty cool and wrong at the same time to let your kid pick their own name. Cool because they have the liberty to choose something they like. Also because they can be liberal and imaginative with choosing. At the same time it is wrong because you are letting a seven year-old pick their name for their rest of their lives and they can regret it. For example a little girl could decide to be called Barbie or Cinderella and then when they grow older they wont like it anymore. 

Until now, this book is pretty awesome. I think that it has really good content and I simply love how John Green writes. He always gets the best of ideas for stories and all of his books that I've read so far are great. I hope that I can add this one up to my collection of my favourite books.
