Some of my Favorite Parts of Looking for Alaska by John Green. A List. By Haley Davidson.

""Y'all smell like a North Carolina tobacco field in a wildfire."" quote from the Eagle; top of page 56

""She has great breasts," the Colonel said without looking up from the whale.

"DO NOT OBJECTIFY WOMEN'S BODIES!" Alaska shouted.

Now he looked up. "Sorry. Perky breasts."

"That's not any better!"

"Sure it is," he said. "*Great* is a judgment on a woman's body. *Perky* is merely an observation. They *are* perky. I mean, Christ."" when Alaska is trying to set Lara up with Pudge; bottom of page 59 top of page 60.

""It's not because I want to make out with her."

"Hold on." He grabbed a pencil and scrawled excitedly at the paper as if he'd just made a mathematical breakthrough and then looked back up at me. "I just did some calculations, and I've been able to determine that you're full of shit."" When Pudge and the Colonel are discussing that Pudge will be staying at school over Thanksgiving, bottom of page 78

""Auden," she announced. "What were his last words?"

"Don't know. Never heard of him."

"Never *heard* of him? You poor, illiterate boy. Here, read this line." I walked over and looked down at her index finger. "You shall love your crooked neighbour / With your crooked heart," I read aloud. "Yeah. That's pretty good," I said.

"Pretty Good?" Sure, and bufriedos are pretty good. Sex is pretty fun. The sun is pretty hot. Jesus, it says so much about love and brookenness- it's perfect.""

page 85

"But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane." When Pudge and Alaska are staying over during Thanksgiving break, page 88

"People, I thought, wanted security. They couldn't bear the idea of death being a big black nothing, couldn't bear the thought of their loved ones not existing, and couldn't even *imagine* themselves not existing. I finally decided that people believed in an afterlife because they couldn't bear not to." Page 100

""Best day of my life was January 9, 1997. I was eight years old, and my mom and I went to the zoo on a class trip. I like the bears. She liked the monkeys. Best day ever. End of story."" Alaska's best day.. best day / worst day game. page 115
