Looking For Alaska by John Green



Does the Colonel (Chip) give himself and Pudge (Miles) new names to counteract their feelings of being outsiders at Culver Creek? Or is he hoping the new identities will change their realities and/or enhance their reputations? How easily is Pudge/Miles manipulated by Chip and Alaska? Does Alaska have power over the boys because she is attractive or is it simply because adolescent males with raging hormones are ripe for manipulation by any female? Is it their flaw? Does jealousy/suspicion make it difficult, if not impossible for males and females to be good friends? Start blogging about this book as it relates to the theme topics in Othello.

In the novel, "Looking for Alaska" how did Alaska manipulates all the characters. Does Alaska uses her sex appeal to manipulates everyone?
