Theme
Life and death play a huge roll in this book. Life because the teens are learning to live life while discovering themselves. Death because all the teens have to deal with uncalled for death.
Character Analysis
Last words: Pudge has an obsession with famous last words. He falls in love with Alaska while seeking his "Great Perhaps" the last words of the famous poet Francois Rabelais.
Shy: Pudge would rather be reading then anging out with people. Doesn't fit in very well
