(insert Symbols icon)
In the novel The Fault in Our Stars, there are many cute symbols scattered through out the novel. The first symbol I noticed was a young child in the scene where Hazel encountered a naive little girl that wanted to know why she wore the sticky things on her nose. The young child represents the time where Hazel did not have to deal with the horrors of cancer and when people didn't treat her like a poor creature that deserved buckets of sympathy. The innocent child symbolized pre-cancer Hazel.

Many questions were left unanswered in the novel "Looking for Alaska". The biggest, quite obviously, is whether Alaska committed suicide or not. I personally believe yes, she did, because many clues were left through out the text. Alaska had been extremely mad that night, and normally drunk people would have been able to swerve to the side. Also, Alaska is extremely unpredictable and is known for last-minute impulsive actions. Therefore, I believe that biggest unanswered question's answer is that Alaska killed herself.
