His next novel published in 2008, Paper Town, was also received with the same enthusiasm as its predecessors. It was another successful publication which was able to garner runner-up position for the Printz Award and Los Angeles Times Book Prize’s finalist stand. Subsequently, Green penned a second novel in 2006 titled, An Abundance of Katherines. The book made a record staying at New York Times best seller list for the span of 7 years. The unorthodox form and content of the novel had it earned the American Library Association’s Michael L. He introduced more philosophical approach to the issues in a teenager’s life. Unlike other YA writers, Green has broadened the horizon of YA novels’ subjects matter. The novel is inspired by Green’s time at Indian Springs. It is a coming-of-age romance novel about a teen Miles. Eventually, he had his project completed and published by 2005. When his sense of humor and appreciation for quality pranks is paired with his true grief at the news of Alaska's death, the Eagle ceases to be the one-dimensional disciplinarian we initially see him as, and becomes a disciplinarian with a heart of gold.While working as a critique he also began writing his debut Looking for Alaska.
"But, Lord, 'subverting the patriarchal paradigm'-it's like she wrote the speech." He smiled and closed the door. (102after.44) "Don't ever do anything like that again," he said. In addition to the fondness he lets slip out in the above passage, we also see a glimmer of humor here and there: Because we only get Miles's fearful perspective of the Eagle, we don't really realize that there might be more to the Eagle as a person than he lets on to students. The Good versus the Naughty." (99before.14-15)Īlaska's analysis is spot on. He thinks busting us is good for the school and good for us. "He loves me," Alaska told me as we walked back to the dorm circle.
The Eagle shook his head, and even though he must have been crazy mad, I swear to God he smiled. Alaska dropped the cigarette and stepped on it. The Eagle wheeled around, his sixth sense detecting Insubordination To Authority Figures. Check this scene out:Īlaska crouched down, picked up the cigarette she had thrown away, and started smoking again. Yes he gets disgusted by the audacity of the students (or perhaps their inability to get away with their mischief), but that doesn't stop him from feeling real affection for them.
There is more to the Eagle than a hawkish eye, though. He doesn't rule alone, though-a student-run Jury helps him govern the Creek. The Eagle plays a necessary role at the Creek, namely as the martinet who enforces the rules. The first time Miles Halter meets the Eagle, he's treated to a Look of Doom that does not yet portend doom. The Eagle is a character from the Looking for Alaska book.
