Explain a character's problem and then offer your character advice on how to solve his/her problem, pt 2.


        My character, Q’s, problem is that his friend and neighbor Margo has gone missing. Margo has gone missing before and usually leaves clues on how to find her, but they are very hidden and only meant for Q to find. Q has tried everything so far, and after racking up some clues, for example: the poster on her window, which led to her record, which led to a poetry book, then the highlighted words led to a note in Q’s bedroom door hinges with an address on it. These clues that Margo left for Q could potentially lead to where she is. A bigger problem is that Margo has been missing for four days. Margo usually disappears but eventually comes back within days less than that. This time, it doesn’t seem as if Margo is going to give up. Margo has gone missing so many times that even her parents don’t have the energy to find her. She’s run away so many times, that each time it’s getting harder to find her. Her parents are almost happy she’s gone, and that bothers Q and gives him more purpose and hope and motivation to find her. Margo’s clues are very well hidden, and meant for Q to follow. So, he along with his best friends Ben and Radar set to find her. 
        I personally think Q should keep following these clues to find her. Many people don’t believe in him, for example, Margo’s parents and his parents. I think he should push through that wall keeping him from venturing out and strive to find her. Even though this could just be one of her silly games, he should try his best to find her and prove it to her parents, his parents, and most importantly himself that he can truly find her.

        In my book, Paper Towns, I like everything about the book. I like the excitement and adventure that Margo and Q go on, by “righting wrongs and wronging rights.“ Margo forces Q out of his comfort zone, and i really like that about the book because I feel as if i should do the same. There is nothing much I dislike, but as the story goes on i’m sure i’ll disagree with some points in the book. But, for the most part, I thoroughly enjoy the book, it has the perfect amount of suspense and adventure that keeps you excited and on the edge of your seat.         The current problem in the book is that Margo’s boyfriend Jase cheated on her, with her bestfriend Becca, so Margo takes her neighbor Quentin, mostly referred to as Q, on an eleven part or “phase” adventure to get revenge on them. They begin this escapade in the middle of the night, around one o’clock in the morning on a school night using Q’s mom‘s minivan to ”right“ their “wrongs“ and “wro...

Similarities between characters in my group

Some interesting similarities me and my group came across mainly handle the main point and message of the story. Most of our book contain someone being sick and or leaving in some way or another, ultimately separating or coming close to separating them from the one they love. In my book, Margo leaves Quentin, running away from home. In Philly’s book, The Sun Is Also a Star, the female character is going to be deported, separating her from the person she’s in love with. In Lauren’s book, Everything Everything, the female main character is sick and unable to go outside, preventing her from visiting the one she loves, the male main character. And finally in Meghan’s book, The Fault in Our Stars, both the female and male main character have cancer, and it is indeterminists if they will pass away or not, which could separate them. So, we all came to the conclusion that our books have similar plot lines, with the two main characters, usually lovers, ultimately get separated or come ...

The True Message and the End

       In the authors writing I noticed the very fine details that were present, I would notice the in depth description of the characters and their emotions that helped me understand a deeper meaning to the book. I would describe the book as thrilling and intense. Being told from Quentin’s point of view, I truly think that this book keeps you on the edge of your seat. The author incorporates so many details and moments that make you want to laugh or cry or jump into the book itself and do something to help the issue. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, not knowing what will happen next. And in those moments when they’re so close to finding Margo, they’re also so much farther. The tone created by the author gives the book a sense of happiness and sadness both working together in harmony to create a beautiful story. The book, in a way, is realistic because not all stories have a happy ending. In reality, much like this story, not everyone gets th...
