Charakterisierung Englisch (Looking for Alaska)

2 Antworten

Miles Halter, a 16 years old boy, is the main character of the book “Looking for Alaska”, written by John Green in 2005. Tired of his boring and lonely life in Florida, he decides to go to a boarding school in Alabama. He is very tall but skinny and looks weak with his thin arms. At his first day in boarding school he watches himself in the mirror and feels embarrassed because he does not like his outer appearance (p.13, l. 7-11). His first friend at Culver Creek, the boarding school, Chip Martin, describes his legs as „chicken legs“(p.19, l.22), but Alaska, his second friend, says that he is cute. Chip give him the ironic nickname „Pudge“ because of his scrawny appearance. Before Miles came to boarding school, he lived with his parents in Florida and visited a public school. In this school he was unsocial and unpopular. That is the reason why he did not have (nach did / didn't IMMER Invinitiv :)) friends. So he wants to go to Culver Creek, just like his father, uncles, and cousins. To find more friends, he is trying to be cool. For example he wears his shorts just below his hips (p.17, l. 29). Miles behaves quiet and hates being careful (p.15, l. 32), but is also friendly and funny. His jokes, which he tells sometimes prove that, because he just wants to look like a funny person and find more friends. Often the interaction with new people he meets is difficult, because he is shy, unsure and not good at small talk (p.8, l.12). But he still finds a girlfriend called Lara( and finds good friends, Chip, Alaska and Takumi.) (<-- die hast du schon erwähnt :)) Miles falls in love with Alaska (p.134, l. 9), but she has a boyfriend called Jake, so (oder "because of which") Miles is sad and disappointed. Still he hopes that one day she will love him and he will have a relationship with her. So it is a lot harder for himwhen Alaska dies in a car accident and he feels guilty about that (p. 157, l.34). In the whole book Miles hopes to find the „Great Perhaps“which the poet Francois Rabelais was talking about (p.9, l.21-23). First Miles was shy and had no friends, but this changes in the story. Later he is more self-confident and finds friends. He does not have a boring life anymore; just like his father in former times he makes pranks and makes a lot interesting experiments.
