damn colonel pop offff

Hey, I wonder if are you up to bringing more content to this channel I just loved the way you narrated the book review and would love to hear from you. Sending you positive vibes. Keep going gal ☘️

i just finished the book. the impact that alaskas death had on the whole friend group in the second half of the book was really noticable. their whole dynamic changed, and when the group found together again, I could feel her missing precense in every interaction. she is not a character that existed solely for the protagonist. also, trauma, pain and loss are very real in many peoples lifes, and it is totally okay to give some of it to your characters if it is not just an irrelevant detail to make that character interesting. the trauma of alaska is at the very center of the story (in the middle), and i do think that it was depicted in a tasteful and sensitive way. (i also like the book, and i am also very sad, since i just finished reading it -.-) the first descriptions of alaska are gross though, i am not sure if this was really necessary.

I love your tattoos !!!

Hard cover of paperback

you should make more vids

great video, would love to hear what you have been reading lately

Fun ramble 👍

I found this book sad but wholesome at the same time(:

I think the term manic pixie dream girl is more often missused than not. This was a good essay and I really enjoyed listening to it

As a dude watching this, I honestly don't understand y girls like watching ppl do makeup in youtube videos. But I guess I also don't understand so y guys like watching other ppl play video games on youtube when u can just b playin the game urself. So maybe I'm the weird one🤯

I love that you are reviewing this, especially given the ban in TN. I carefully teach it to 7th graders and up. I think you did a great job with your review and I might share this with others. Kudos! I hope to stay in touch. -Matt

Every time I find a TH-cam channel that I like and I look at the most recent upload and it's 1 year+, I feel so sad. This channel is cool, real chill. Hope she, you if you're reading this bod, upload again.

Thank you so much for the review. Do you recommend this book for people above 30 years old ?

But, just who in the world are you to review a graphic novel? Why should your opinion matter?

I feel like a lot of readers who don’t understand the intent with Alaska really struggle with the idea of an unreliable narrator (not sure if this is really the right term here but we’re gonna go with it), which is something that John uses a lot. His narrators are dimensional and flawed and their thoughts and actions are also dimensional and flawed. Many people tend to take the narrators viewpoint as gospel when they can also have biases that influence their conclusions. Miles, Quentin, Hazel, and Aza all have flaws in their ways of thinking that they have to learn to recognize. That’s one of the main themes in much of his writing learning to see others complexly (as John and Hank would say ;))

Best review ever ❤️🌻

This really makes me want to try and read it again. I know the bullet points of the story. I tried to read it while I was in highschool but I couldn't get passed the writing. I'm also not a huge fan of John Green as a writer, all of his stories end very depressingly. I'm okay with a depressing story but I feel that at this point his writing is a bit formulaic.

tell me that isn’t marble in the back

thank you so much for this video! i am currently writing a literary analysis essay on john green and manic pixie dream girls. i initially went into my research siding more with those that believed john made consistent use of the manic pixie dream girl trope, but i see it from a different perspective now :) edit: also your makeup is poppin off!!

The video was really cool u should make more essays

I think the people who don’t understand that Miles is not a reliable narrator because he is so obsessed with his fantasy of Alaska aren’t mature enough to read the book. School teaches us that the narrator is always the good guy when it actually makes the story better when you as a reader can acknowledge that the narrative is wrong. It’s not that Alaska was put there for Miles’ character development, Miles just made it seem like she was the reason he developed as a character.

this book helped me get over my anxiety of dying, this will foreever stay in the collection

Has that tapestry got anything to do with Watership Down?

very much enjoyed the essay but i’m here from tiktok and am a bit let down by the lack of romanisations peppered in there

I came here after seeing your tik tok and I love your essay! I also loved Looking For Alaska whilst growing up and hearing critics call it ‘misogynistic’ broke my heart because I interpreted it in a similar way to you! Thank you for putting my vague thoughts into words.

this is a very well thought out essay and the makeup looks great! I also thought I might tell you that the word bod means dick in Scottish Gaelic!

I really like watching your videos they are really calming for me I like to watch them while I draw and it helps me focus a lot more thank you 😊 🙏

I loved this video and your essay!! I never finished the book but I enjoyed hearing your points/arguments. PS your voice is so nice!!!

i skipped the makeup bits, but this is exceptional.

Dude, this is incredibly, I love this book, i'm thinking of gifting a few copies to friends thanks

First off, wanna start by saying solid essay ! it was really good. I do believe the manic pixie dream girl trope does exist and that it’s important to call it out. However, unfortunately the term really is often overused and misused which becomes misogynistic itself. I read LFA as a kid and enjoyed it, but ngl after i grew up i realized that i didn’t like the book anymore cause my vague memories of it made me realize i didn’t enjoy the portrayal of Alaska. I left it at that, but your essay made me recall that the reason her portrayal sucks is because we are viewing it through the pov of a shitty mc and not cause the author was writing a poor underdeveloped female character. So i do think it would be wrong to find John guilty of using the trope. Though i must admit i am still iffy about the book, even tho yes alaska does have a character beyond just the mc i still feel like the friend group as a whole is john green romanticizing teenage angst and trauma

This was a great essay and it reminded me of halsey’s new album manic where she discusses the topic of “manic pixie dream girl” because many critics have viewed her as such in the past.

I think your a phenomenal writer and honestly should right some books! And the makeup look is beautiful as always!! 💙

I thought that was a great essay! Looking for Alaska is one of my favourite books, and it's always anonyed be that people make those shallow critiques. I think John Green took the criticism pretty hard because Paper Towns is basically the same book, but it beats you over the head with the message whereas LFA is more subtle.

Your sheets reminded me that I have laundry I have to put in the dryer. Thank you for saving my clothes from being stinky.

Do you ever have dreams where its like a movie, and your not you but a character in said movie? 😅 I get those a lot and they are always insane but so cool!

Girl! This is awesome!! Keep doing you and the people will come along for the ride! Also I have the weird off bathroom dreams too! Somethings always wrong with them! I dont know if it’s like, I need to pee? Or just.. weird? Haha I’ve also noticed I randomly have dreams that I remember having as a kid.. and it’s super weird, like a reoccurring dream.. but not often. It’s weird! And I forget about them until I have them again!

Girl I miss talking about our dreams together

I could listen to you read the phone book. Please tell me you write or do poetry of some kind because your cadence and word choice is pointedly soothing.

My favorite page is the one that says I literally experienced the horrors of death so maybe this isn't about you.
