    In this novel, John Green is telling the story of a sixteen-year-old boy named Miles Halter as he begins boarding school and falls in love with the mischievous and free-spirited Alaska Young. After Alaska tragically perishes in a car accident, Miles and his friends come up with a prank to honor Alaska’s life and get back at the school for its false opinions on Alaska. Green is expressing this when he writes,“I didn't want the people she didn't know - and the people she didn't like - to be sad. They’d never cared about her, and now they were carrying on as if she were a sister,” (Green 158) and “ ‘A prank designed to lull the administration into a false sense of security,’ the Colonel answered, annoyed by the distraction. ‘After the pre-prank, the Eagle will think the junior class has done its prank and won't be waiting for it when it actually comes’ “(Green 98). The group of friends pulling this prank is representing the way people in their adolescent stage in life are more likely to rebel against something that they believe to be unjustified. Like Romeo and Juliet, Looking For Alaska deals with the power of love that leads to someone's
