Miles is a new kid at Culver Creek Boarding School all his
friends call him “Pudge”, Pudge likes to memorize peoples last words and he can
determine what kind of person someone is by there last words. Pudge desperately
wants to fit in somewhere and with someone. He keeps his expectations low
because he knows that he won’t get hurt that way. For example his family threw
a going away party for him and only two of his classmates came. He was not
disappointed because of extremely low expectations. His roommate, The Colonial,
puts up an act as the tough guy but really he is an accepting guy who sticks up
for his friends. He accepts Pudge right away and takes him in. He also sticks
up for Pudge when he gets thrown into the lake and wants to get revenge on
Kevin (the guy who threw him in). Alaska is the girl that all the guys like,
and she know show how to use that to her advantage. She is very moody and is
very reserved; you never know what she’s going to do next. The theme that I am
beginning to see is friendship. IT shows how all the characters are coming
together and becoming fiends. For example The Colonial gives Pudge his
nickname, which is like accepting him into his group. This book has two chapters total. One called
the “Before” and the other called “After”. I’m not sure what the significance
of these two chapters are yet but I am excited to find out.
