She is unreliable and doesn't care about others and their feelings. She is over-confiedent and lazy. She will surely fail at Culver Creek. I don't agree about these statements because they are very dramatic with the choice of words, for example the adjective over-confident". Yeah she is confident and what's wrong about this trait. Many people cannot see differences between confident and arrogant, they judge only by one character train. Alaska is self-centred, confident, intelligent as well as honest. She is helpful but sometimes careless and unpredictable. She is kind and cares for her friends. She is opinionated but still fits in at Culver Creek She hides behind ner confidence to seem like a strong person. Her real self is maybe very insecure and not sure about what others think of her. She loves that every one likes her and want not to show her real self. Mn and amalget. She We think that...: Most of the time she is cool and happy, but sometimes she is a little bit depressed and is not so nice to others. I think that she cares about her friends and their feelings. She quends alot of time with thêm and even the thing in the religiour das where she went out with miles. because of human Just selfish you may w She is still sometimes. She is party nice ♡ hies ditch We don't agree the statment but in some way she is a bit others for example she and Chip says that they were the to protect Hiles and Takumi. is not over-confident she cares about only ones that smoked Yea she may be lazy but it is not true that she does not care about the feelings of other people, it seemed like she does not when miles was kicked into the water but she did not know the hole story afterwards when she found out she got very angry. And that she may fail cc is not really true with her confidence she has the capebility she could do it but as i already said she is lazy. She is confident and stands up for others for example when miles was kicked out. She is selfish and arrogant but that is what makes her so sympatic and makes her Look strong and that no one can play with her. and
