Setting of Looking For Alaska Looking for Alaska's main character Miles moves from Florida to Alabama. The primary change Miles discusses when moving from Florida to Alabama is the different type of heat "Florida was plenty hot...that did not prepare me for the unique sort of heat from Birmingham, Alabama" (Green 6). Another primary change Miles undergoes in Alabama is the people he hangs out with. In the first chapter only two people showed up to his going away party. He expected this and replied to the reader, "The only thing worse than having a party that no one attends is having a party attended by 2, vastly uninterresting, people" (Green 4).

    Wow, Florida to Alabama is a huge change. Judging from the title I'm predicting the main character's going to Alaska? That's a far way to go, I wonder why he's traveling that far.

    One of the main characters is named alaska. He moved to Alabama in the beggining of the book to go to a boarding school where he met the Colonel, Takumi and Alaska.
