3rd quarter ssr

During the third quarter I read a young adult fiction book Looking for Alaska by John Green. The book follows Miles Halter, who leaves for a boarding school to find his "Great Perhaps." When he gets there, Miles meets Chip Martin aka the Colonel. The Colonel introduces Miles to Alaska who Miles instantly falls in love with. Green paints a vivid description on how the school is ran and how the kids act there. The school is filled with kids pranking each other multiple times in the novel. After the Colonel, Miles, and Alaska prank the "Weekday Warriors", they celebrate with drinks and talking.  Doing so, Miles and Alaska finally hook up; however, Alaska's boyfriend calls her to talk about their eight month anniversary. Alaska got in her car and drove off only to find out the next day that she had been in a car accident in which she had passed away. 

I think this book will be read in 100 years from now. The book is about how three teenagers form a bond and on how they get along with each other. I feel as if people in the future will always relate to that relationship. As the book goes on, we read about Alaska's death and see how Miles and Colonel cope with it. I feel as if anyone can empathize/sympathize with the pain of losing someone close. The story is quite sad. John Green writes about how Miles' searches for his great perhaps. I feel as if everyone tries to find their great perhaps and will continue to look for it in the future.
