In this last section of the book , I think it is really interesting how when they were planning their prank, Miles dad agreed to participate in this prank.This is because I thought that parents don't usually help their children get in to trouble.But as we learn it turned out to be a successful.
Another thing that I thought was so amazing was how Miles, Colonel, and Takumi all come up with how Alaska dies, which is due to her wanting to put flowers at her mother's grave site. In someways I think that Alaska should have waited for one of her friends to drive her because then she wouldn't have died.One part that I am puzzled over is, why didn't she put flowers on her mothers grave any other time besides then? Personally, I think that she could have done it other times.
Also I think in the end it is good that Miles and Colonel forgive and let go their guilt for Alaska's death and they live on. Throughout this book I have gotten to know the characters and relate their experiences with mine and I think that overall it is a great book. Miles character grows on you and in my opinion I think that we can see how when something happens to him it hurts .This is demonstrated in the way that nothing is the same once Alaska dies ,the Colonel and Miles illustrate this because they lash out at each other a lot.Overall, I think that the book was good.
