Looking for Alaska Chapter 51 Summary

sixty-nine days after

  • Miles still can't figure out the flowers, and he feels like Alaska is truly gone.
  • He and the Colonel go to smoke by the lake and think of the school meeting they had earlier, where the Eagle announced that the school is going to build a playground to commemorate Alaska. After this announcement in the meeting, Lara stood up and said that they should do something Alaska would have done.
  • While smoking, the Colonel says they should pull one last, memorial prank. Alaska came up with the prank he's thinking of the year before—"Subverting the Patriarchal Paradigm" (69after.7).
  • It is, according to Miles, an epic prank, "the culmination of generations of Culver Creek pranking" (69after.7). Sounds like a pretty perfect tribute to us.
