Quentin’s Diary

       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...

         In the story there were two conflicts. One conflict bring Q getting over and moving on from Margo and the other, bigger conflict, finding Margo after she ran away. Eventually, Q begins to focus on himself, and they eventually find Margo, but she didn’t want them to find her. After Q tried for so long and risked so much for her she didn’t want to be found. I don’t think this solution to their problem is similar to any other book I’ve read which makes me see it in a different light, and helps me think deeper into the story.        The theme of this story is along the lines of focusing on your goals, but not letting it take over your life. When you take risks it may not pay off in the end, and you never know if you will truly meet your goal. For example, Q never gets to spend the rest of his life with Margo, he saw her once when he found her, and then she stayed in Agloe. This probably wasn’t what Q w...

    This story, Paper Towns by John Green, is a very thrilling story. Paper Towns keeps me on the edge of my seat, and makes me feel excited, yet sorrowful. The story really pushes me to think about loss, and seeing Quentin be so upset and obsessed over Margo’s disappearance makes me think deeper into really losing someone you love. The excitement of chasing her, but the sadness in his words is something truly amazing about this book. Quentin reminds me a lot of myself, how he is very thoughtful and keeps to himself, but when it comes to someone or something he loves he goes all in, and does anything he can without even planning like he usually would. This can relate a lot to my life and how I handle situations, specifically when it comes to those I love.     The conflict between Margo and Q, her disappearance, really strikes a chord with me, because I really can understand how Q is feeling. His affection for Margo still grows even when she...

     So far in my book, Margo has gone missing and Q has completely obsessed over her and her disappearance. I think the authors message is to never give up, but don’t let what you’re striving for take over your whole life. The title, Paper Towns, I think is pretty fitting. Paper Towns, as Margo explains it, is a metaphor for something fake. Margo left because she realized that it was fake, and that’s what leads Q to obsess over her disappearance. The whole story revolves around the setting, where Margo is and where Q is, and the purpose for this is to show Q’s struggle with losing her. The book, in Q’s point of view, delves into how deep Q is, and how he thinks so much into things, but when it comes to Margo, he acts on impulse.      Personally, my favorite part of the story is when Q is searching for Margo’s clues with his bestfriend Ben. Ben and Q are so different, Q being very thoughtful and quiet, and Ben being very outspoken, ...
