Conclusions and Conflicts

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 was expecting, he wished he could have stayed with her. I think Q learned a valuable lesson of not letting yourself fully go, and not putting you heart in someone’s hands if they’re not willing to give you theirs. Q says, “I hope this is the hero’s errand, because not following her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” This shows how hard it was for Q to let her go, and how hard it was for him to let himself go which was such a difficult decision for him and something that probably changed his life.

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

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...

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...

feelings and relating to the book

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...
