Blog Post #4-Visiting a Classmate's Blog

Today, I visited and checked out one of my closest friend's blog, Samantha Garcia. One of the posts that I read on her blog was Blog Post #1-About my book. The book she's currently reading is titled, It's Kind of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. What I found interesting about my classmate's blog was the way she found amazing connections by relating them to her own experiences and to others. Some strong points that were in Samantha's blog post was how she clearly explain in detail her thoughts about the book by opening up to her own struggles that she faces almost everyday, which is such a brave thing to talk about and express out in the open.(:
I hope you guys go and check out Sammy's blog post and her blog in general and my comment as well as commenting on one of her post!

IR Blog Post #3-Questions

Who inspired you to write this book or what was your inspiration overall that motivated you to write this book? I'm asking this question because I want to know more in depth about how this whole plot was created and its reasons for why it was written.
Who, of all the characters, do you believe should be happy in this book? I ask this because as far as I'm reading right now, almost everyone seems unhappy or lonely and with the need of being loved.
What do you think makes this book brilliant and enjoyable to read? I'm asking this because I want others to know the reasons of why we should be reading this book and the things that make it interesting and relatable.
What could be the main conflict of this book, overall? I'm asking this question because I see many small conflicts happening throughout the book but I want o know the main problem that causes the characters to feel the way they're feeling.

IR Blog Post #2-Significant Section

I feel that the most important part of the book I'm currently reading titled, Looking for Alaska, would be when Miles a.k.a Pudge, the main character, and his friends Alaska, Takumi, and the Colonel got busted near the lake while smoking cigarettes by the Eagle, the dean of students. He later tells them he expects all of them at jury the next day for serious discipline and consequences. Before that happens, Alaska and the Colonel tell Miles to sit tight and not talk. He was confused but then realized they took all the blame. I feel like this part is a significant part of my IR book because it really shows the main character who his real friends are and how they will risk everything for him, which is something that didn't really occur to him that often.
