Voorbeeld van de inhoud
Why did Chip and Pudge not try to stop Alaska from driving on that last day?Chip and pudge were caught off guard by Alaska's sudden decision to drive away and
they were unsure of how to react. They were also worried about the consequences of
intervening and didn’t want to make the situation worse.
Explain the significance of the 'labrynth'
The labrynth represents the complex and winding nature of life and the journey of self-
discovery.
Which character did you like best, and why?
Pudge, because he was relatable and easy to connect with, because he is sart, thoughtful
and had good sense of humor which made him a likebale character
What does this book tell us about self-discovery and growing up?
The book tells us that self-discovery and growing up are complex and ongoing processes
that involve taking risks, making mistakes and facing challenges. It emphasizes the
importance of friendship and being open to new experiences.
"Looking for Alaska
is pornographic, and therefore unsuitable for teenagers." Discuss whether you agree or disa
gree with this statement, and why.
No, the book is not pornographic. While there are some sexual themes and references in
the book, they are not explicit or gratuitous.
Is the ending of Looking for Alaska satisfying? Why?
I found it satisfying because it tied up the loose ends of the story and provided closure for
the characters' journeys without giving too much away.
Was Alaska responsible for her own self-destruction?
Not fully, because Alaska self-destruction was caused by a combination of factors,
including her difficult past, struggles with mental health, and risky behaviors. While she
played a role, it would be unfair to say that she was fully responsible for it.
Were Miles and Chip right to feel guilty following Alaska's death.
Yes, because they didn’t stop Alaska from driving the car that killed her. They let her drive
drunk.
Why do you think Pudge likes to memorise last words?
It's his way to understand the deeper meaning of life and death. By studying the final
words of famous historical figures, he hopes to gain insight into human experience and
the mysteries of existence.
Do you think the students in Looking for Alaska are a good reflection of today's youth? Why?
Yes, because the students are certainly relatable and realistic and some things they do is a
good reflection like driviing a car at 16
Was Pudge really in love with Alaska?
Yes, because Pudge had a really good emotional connection with her and they were
always close.
How does Pudge deal with his grief in the second part of the novel? Do you think this is
a healthy way to cope with loss?
I think this is a healthy way because pudge deals with his grief by trying to understand the
meaning of life and death and by cherishing the memories of his friend. So, I think this
healthy way to cope with lose because this allows him to process his emotions and find a
sense of closure
Explore the difference between how Pudge feels about Alaska, and how Alaska feels about h
erself.
