it's kind of a funny story response two

As Craig lives out his week in the hospital he meets many new people.  He feels accepted in a group of grown men who have mental disorders.  I guess Craig feels more normal among this group of society's misfits than his "friends." Still, Craig feels the need to hide his situation from people at school except for Nia.  I think Craig is as embarrassed of his new friends as he is of himself because he fits in with this weird group of people.  I think Craig is also afraid to admit to himself that has problems and his is slapstick,maybe not as sick as Bob or Humble, but still sick.  He is also afraid because he'worried about growing up and being crazy.

Craig's roommate, Muqtada also has an influence on Craig.  Muqtada never leaves the room and doesn't speak to anyone.  In a way Craig sees a part of him in Muqtada. Muqtada is also afraid.  Muqtada hides notnot only hides from people but he also attempts to hide from life.  Staying in the hospital and being surrounded with all of these adults who aren't really adults scares Craig because he feels one day that can be him.

In the crazy mix of people in the , Craig meets Noelle.  She's also a but crazy.  Craig has an obvious crush on Noelle but he hesitates to act on it because he also has feelings for Nia. Noelle is different from : is because she is much mire self aware and kind of insecure.  Noelle also treats Craig different from how Nia treats Craig.  She doesn't act vulnerable like : is dies.  She is very guarded.

reponse to looking for alaska

In the book Looking for Alaska, the author John Green presents us with an interesting coming of age story.  Miles, the main character, also known as "Pudge", goes to boarding school.  This isn't a drastic change for him because he doesn't really have friends. The greatest change for him is that he is making friends, friends that make him feel special.  The first friend Pudge makes is him room mate who everyone calls "Colonel".  His friendship is the Colonel opens him to a world of trouble making fun and the world of Alaska. 
Pudge has a crush on Alaska through out the book.  It's not just a crush though, he is in love with her.  She is complex and guarded.  Together the Colonel, Alaska, and their friend Takumi, teach Pudge how to be less awkward and come out of his shell.  They plan pranks and spend thanksgiving together. When Alaska dies, Pudge is left with many questions and the already much complicated Alaska Young becomes more complex.  They try to figure out whether it was a suicide or an accident. 
Although there were parts of this book that were very difficult for me to relate to it was still a very good book.  The story is both comedic and tragic.  I think depending on who you are the story means something different to you.  In the end Pudge lets go of Alaska and the questions and mysteries that came with her death.  What I got out of the book is that friendship, real friendship, is life changing.  And with death of love and death of friendship we are left with answers we are responsible to answer ourselves and not stress on the grief of the death itself.

     The book The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan is the last sequel in the Percy Jackson & The Olympian series. In the Series Percy Jackson a demigod, son  of Poseidon goes on a series adventures in the world of Greek Mythology. In this book Percy lead his camp, Camp Half- Blood a camp full of demigod into battle with the Titan Kronos and his army. Kronos is the ruler of the Titans, and posses the body of Hermes' son Luke, a demigod. Kronos and his army want revenge on the gods and want to destroy Mount Olympus while the gods are busy fight Typhon, one of the strongest Titans. Percy and his camp travel to the Empire State Building where Mount Olympus is and guard it from Kronos' army.
   Percy and his camp were out numbered by Kronos' army. In the war in Manhattan most of the demigods were defeated. They thought they had know hope and they have failed until Hades, the god of the Underworld was convinced by his son, Nico. Hades was mad at his two brothers Zeus and Poseidon for making his stay in the world of the dead, but he was convinced that if he didn't help in the war the Gods would know longer exist so he and his wife Persephone guard Olympus with the demigods. At the end Poseidon helped and stopped Typhon and the war was over. Percy was granted one wish or he can become a god. Percy declined being a god and wished that the gods must claim their children when they are 13. Percy went back and lived with his mother and he lived his normal life again.
   This book was really good because it was full of action and drama. It was really detailed so it felt like you were actually in the war. One of my favorite part was in the battle of Manhattan where there was a lot of action. The Percy Jackson & the Olympian series is full of adventure, action, drama, comedy, and romance. You should check it out!
