Somehow I liked the pagragraph from the pages 84 to 99 because my impression when Alaska and Miles met for the first time was that they are two completly different characters. Alaska is more open in talking about sex and something like that and Miles is more a shy boy.
And in this paragraph Miles and Alaska spent time together without the Colonel or Takumi so we can see the contrast. Alaska wants to watch a porn with Miles. For Alaska it's no "problem" but I got the feeling that Miles was a little bit ashamed about that situation. Also it underlines how much in love Miles is, he gushes from their touches and describes his feelings. But what I asked myself about this whole thing was, why Alaska wants to watch a porn with Miles? Does she want to see his reaction or does she wants him to melt and to show him that he mustn't be ashamed about the topic "sex"?
As a concluding comment I want to make clear that I think the paragraph shows a little more about Miles character and his way of thinking.

I am you opinion. I think this extract shows their characters, when they are alone. Both were at Culver Creek during thanksgiving and they did a lot together e.g watching porn movies... I also think, that Miles and Alasdka have different characters, but I think that they come closer and if you mean Alaska is opener, I think he opens himself too. And I think it´s nice too see that.
AntwortenLöschenAll in all I would say, that Miles and Alaska are different, but in this extract Miles opens himself, while doing a lot together.
