In the final religion exam, the students have to pick what they think is the most important question human beings must answer, and examine how Buddhism, Islam and Christianity (three world religions) attempt to answer it. Alaska would never think twice about her actions or reflect the possible consequences. This effected the way she handled spontaneous situations in the future. Her extreme unpredictalbililty and spontaneity was most likely an effect of ‘ failing her mother’. Eight year old Alaska drowned herself in guilt. Alaska never called the ambulance or made an attempt to save her mother. She was barley eight years old but witnessed her mother’s death, sitting by her side and watching the life draining out of her. January 9th, 1997 was the turning point in Alaska’s life. Just two days before she is gone forever, the boys learn that they hardly knew the girl they love so fervently (during ‘Barn Night’).
