I am almost finished with Looking For Alaska, by John Green. It is still probably my favorite book I have ever read! So far in my book (like I mentioned in my last post), Alaska has just died in a car crash. Pudge and The Colonel have no idea why. All they know is that the night before, Miles (Pudge), hooked up with Alaska, when she was highly drunk. The next morning they get a phone call (from Jake), which Alaska picks up, and all of a sudden Alaska starts to freak out and begs Pudge and Chip to distract The Eagle, while she leaves campus. The boys agree even though she is very drunk still and in a miserable state. Later on that morning, they get news... apparently Alaska dies in a car crash. She was headed towards Jake's house with white flowers in her trunk.

Chip and Pudge are very determined to find out how she died. Was it suicide or an accident? They think it might be suicide because when she crashed, she didn't swerve her car out of the way of the truck. The cops said that she headed right into it. Alaska might've also committed suicide because she was guilty for cheating on her boyfriend, Jake. Something that Pudge finds suspicious is that written on a wall next to the phone where Alaska picked up the phone was a doodle of a flower. He thinks that when Alaska was talking to Jake, she was drawing that flower which made her remember something, and causes she to freak out.

One day, Miles was sorting through Alaska's books in her room and found a book called, The General in His Labyrinth. In this book Pudge found a page where it talked about "how to get out of the labyrinth of suffering. Alaska always asked this question to Pudge, and he never knew the answer. In the margin, next to that page Alaska wrote, "Straight and fast." On page 156 The Colonel says to Miles, "So drunk? So drunk? The cop car would've had its lights on... straight and fast. Out of the labyrinth."
