Looking For Alaska Guilt

In the book “Looking For Alaska,” I guess you can say, everyone is a little messed up in their own way. There are two major characters, one named Miles “Pudge” Halter. Now, Miles is a very intriguing character, he starts of as an antisocial person who remembers the last words of people. He's not very out going and he goes to “seek a great perhaps,” (8) which were the last words of a Francois Rabelais, who was a poet. He is not your average guy, not the guy a girl would fall in love with right away. Another main character is a girl named Alaska Young. She is very intriguing and not the average person you would meet, but she is beautiful. She has a certain kind of gloom or death kind of feel that she always carries around. She helped Miles break

Guilt, in a way is presented in mysterious ways. The first of guilt in the book was when MIles was leaving his parents behind in Florida to go to the boarding school. He feels more guilt after he decides to stay at the boarding school with Alaska instead of going home to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family. Guilt is also felt a whole lot more in the second half of the book, specifically after Alaska’s death. This guilt is felt through Miles, colonel, and a girl named Takumi, also a friend of Alaska, MIles, and Colonel, they all felt guilt for Alaska’s death. They all partially blamed themselves because they all were drinking the a couple of hours before and everyone was not at their right mind at the moment. And yet, when Alaska remembered something and needed to drive somewhere, they let her go because they were all drunk even though they knew they should have stopped

Its teaches you the consequences of life and things that happen in the real world. Things that happen when you do not think of the consequences and so i end this with my all time favorite quote from this book, “If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can’t know better until knowing better is useless.”
