Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who is the speaker in 'Looking for Alaska'?

Answer: Miles Halter

Miles Halter is the protagonist of the novel 'Looking for Alaska'. The novel is written from his perspective of the story. He is a smart 16-year-old guy who gets good grades. He leaves his hometown in Florida, and moves to a boarding school in Alabama in search of a 'Great Perhaps'.
2. Who is Alaska's boyfriend throughout the novel?

Answer: Jake

Jake is Alaska's boyfriend throughout the novel. The Colonel points out that Alaska hadn't cheated on Jake, which is a first. Alaska claims to love Jake deeply, but she does cheat on him with Pudge on the night before her death. It is not certain whether she cheated on Jake because she loved Pudge or whether she acted merely on an impulse when she made out with Pudge.
3. What was Miles Halter also known as?

Answer: Pudge

Miles was ironically nicknamed 'Pudge' by the Colonel because of his skinny figure.
4. Who was Pudge's roommate?

Answer: Chip Martin aka the Colonel

Pudge got to the room first on his first day at Culver Creek. His parents helped him transfer his stuff to his room. He felt that Alabama was way hotter than Florida, and also the dormitory did not have an air conditioner, so took a shower to refresh himself. Pudge got out of the shower wearing a towel just as the Colonel entered the room and was, therefore, embarrassed to meet his roommate for the first time wearing just a towel.
5. What was Maureen's most famous dish at Culver Creek?

Answer: Bufriedos

Maureen is the cook at Culver Creek. The bufriedo is a deep fried bean burrito. Pudge mentions that he experienced his first culinary orgasm while eating it. Bufriedos are usually served during Fridays in Culver Creek. The term 'bufriedo' was coined by Alaska in the novel.
6. Where did Alaska and Pudge spend Thanksgiving the year that Pudge joined Culver Creek?

Answer: In Dolores's trailer with the Colonel

Pudge decided on staying at Culver Creek for Thanksgiving in the hopes of spending time alone with Alaska. But on Thanksgiving, the Colonel invited Pudge and Alaska over to spend Thanksgiving with him and his mother at the insistence of his mother.
7. What was the name of the book that Alaska told Pudge about on the day they met?

Answer: "The General in His Labyrinth"

Alaska wants to find out what the labyrinth is. Pudge agrees to figure it out for her on the condition that she gets him a girlfriend.
8. What does Pudge conclude is the way out of the labyrinth?

Answer: Forgiveness

Pudge concludes that the way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. He never finds the answers to the mystery of Alaska. He forgives her, just as he thinks she forgives him for not being a good enough friend.
9. How did Alaska die?

Answer: In a car accident

Alaska died in a car accident on January 11. On the day before the death of Alaska, she dared Pudge to hook up with her and he did. On the next day, when he heard the news from the Eagle that Alaska died in a car crash, he could not believe his ears. He and the Colonel helped Alaska to drive out of the campus, so they thought that they would be held responsible for her death, since they did not prevent her from driving drunk.

The Colonel and Pudge set out to unravel the mysteries of Alaska's death later on.
10. When was the anniversary of the death of Alaska's mother?

Answer: January 10

Alaska talks about her mother's death when the group is in the barn and playing a game that she invented. Her mother died of an aneurysm. She was paralysed by fear so much that she didn't think to dial 911 when she saw her mother struggling in the kitchen.

Her father, later on, blamed her for her mother's death, just as she, herself, does. She usually puts flowers on her mother's grave every year.
