NAME:
Read the text about a book written by John Green:
Miles Halter led a dull, emotionless (or friendship) life in Florida. He had a peculiar taste: memorizing the last words of great personalities in history. One of these personalities, François Rabelais, a fifteenth-century poet, said on his deathbed that he was “in search of a Great Maybe”. In order not to have to wait for death to find his Great Maybe, Miles decides to pack his bags and leave. He goes to Culver Creek School, a boarding school in sunny Alabama.
There he meets Alaska Young. She has it in her favorite book, the general in his labyrinth, by Gabriel García Márquez, the question to which he is incessantly seeking an answer: “How am I going to get out of this maze?" […] Alaska will drag Miles into its labyrinth and catapult him mercilessly toward the Great Perhaps. Miles falls in love with Alaska, even without understanding it, even trying unsuccessfully to decipher the riddle of her emerald green eyes.
