Looking for Alaska: Bookreview

Today I am going to review the book Looking for Alaska by John Green.  This book is personally my favorite John Green book and I would reccomend this book to everyone. This book is narrated by Miles Halter, the protagnist, who goes to boarding school 'to seek a Great Perhaps.' At school, he quickly befriends 'the Colonel', who is his roommate. He meets a bunch of new people, some of whom become his friends and the others... well not so much. Miles, or Pudge called by his friends, forms quite close relations with the Colonel, Takumi, Lara and the other protagnist of this book, Alaska. Alaska is a beguilging girl that is mysterious and catches Pudge's eye. The five have the time of their lives, together. Everything's going well until one day........... Alaska dies. This puts the four in quite a shock. Pudge begins to question who Alaska really was and how she died. The others follow Pudge in a shocking journey of who Alaska really was. This book is about find...

A Thought

Here's another thought- one of my all time favorites: "We believe in ordinary acts of bravery - in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another." For those of you who have read 'Divergent' must know that this is the Dauntless motto. For those, who haven't read the book, it's an excellent quote from an amazing book, 'Divergent.' As for the reason why I like this quote - It shows that being brave doesn't mean jumping in an ocean full of sharks to save a drowning child. Doing ordinary acts of bravery is just as brave. Moreover, the best kind of ordinary bravery is standing up for another. It requires courage, which not everyone has, but is something everyone can do. This quote proves anyone, even you or I can be brave. So, yeah. This is my favorite quote. Let me know yours down below in the comments.

Today's thought

Here is one of my favourite thoughts. Today's thought: 'Old friends are gold, new friends are diamond. To hold a diamond, you need a base of gold.' It means: Anyone who gets new friends shouldn't forget their old friends. Even though your new friends might be better, you won't be able to keep them if you cast your old friends aside.

Time Management

An original essay by me on Time Management: ' A stitch in time saves nine.' This is the best proverb that describes time management. It briefly summarizes that if you manage your time you can do wonders. Nowadays we see time management centers everywhere proving its importance in the modern world. Without time management, it is impossible to do anything. Whether in school or at home, time management is a must. With time management, one can do wonders. If there is no time management in our daily lives, we will often do things wrong or what we do will be wrong. Even if do a lot of hard work, without managing our time no difference will be made. Doing things wrong or late makes us angry or stressed. This way it is not possible to sleep well or eat properly resulting in sickness. Time is more precious than money, as money lost can be gained but time lost can never come back. The management of time helps us to do work efficiently, so so we will be able to reach our full potenti...
