Entry 4- Michael Kopaygorodsky
Looking for Alaska drew me in because the first thing that came to my mind was who or what was looking for Alaska and who or what Alaska was. Another reason I chose this novel was because a lot of people recommended it to me. A connection that I made was I am very shy when I first meet someone and so is Miles. I would recommend this model to anyone but the people that would most enjoy reading it is people who like drama books/movies.

Entry 3- Michael Kopaygorodsky
"The week before I left my family and Florida and the rest of my minor life to go to boarding school in Alabama, my mother insisted on throwing me a going-away party. To say that I had low expectations would be to underestimate the matter dramatically." (Page 1, John Green) This text from the novel Looking for Alaska were the very first couple sentences on the first page. I think this selection entices the reader because if they read it they would want to know what happens later in the book when he goes to his boarding school in Alabama. Another reason the reader would want to read on is to know why he left his family in the first place to go a boarding school.
