Thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the last angstiness profile, I have decided to do a much-delayed post on the mentally unstable Alaska Young. Although we have finished the book and Alaska is long gone, she is still the most intriguing character in the entire story. Did she kill herself? Was it an accident? If she did kill herself, what exactly made her want to? These are only a few of the questions that remain unanswered, but for the purposes of this post, here's what we do know about her: Her mother died when she was a little girl. She was too young to know how to save her, but she still felt guilty about it as she grew older. She is a heavy smoker, and takes it upon herself to introduce Pudge to the things he had missed during his protected childhood. She is intelligent, funny, dark, twisted, and unpredictable to say the least. But is she angsty? I believe so.
Angstiness Rating (1-5): 4, maybe even a 5
