Finding Margo



After everybody left, and Quentin stayed to talk with Margo he went to buy something.The hugged and Q explained her that he came all the way to New York because of all the clues she left her. But Margo seemed confused, she actually didn't thought that Q was coming to find her. And she left clues because she always does. Quentin was disappointed because the only thing that Margo wanted was to leave the Paper Town were she was leaving in. They started to fight and discuss about the situation. She explained that what she wanted was to be alone and to find herself because she didn't knew herself. After a long discussion they went to take a milkshake and she explained everything. Maybe Quentin didn't know Margo that much, maybe Margo didn't know herself that much. Q had to leave to prom, and she invited him to stay but Q had to accomplish something and forget about her. They were several rumors about were Margo was, but the only one who knew was Quentin Jacobsen.




"Something about Margo completely losing her temper allows me to regain mine."(285)

Maybe what Margo really wanted from Quentin was that he found himself. That he should not care so much and live the way he wants. The last night he saw Margo he did things that he normally never wouldn't do. And the he went to parties, he was absent to school, he went on a road trip with his friends, and he was going to prom. I think Margo wanted Quentin to find himself and to stop caring so much about the future and start living the present. 

         


"She seemed finished, but I had one more question. And why here of all places? A paper town for a paper girl." (293)

Margo wanted to find herself too. She didn't wanted to be the popular plastic girl on school, because she didn't felt like that. She always saw herself as a paper girl living in a paper town. She always did what she wanted and live how she wanted. But not in the place where she wanted. She found the perfect place, with not much to do, but a perfect place to think and read. Also great place to escape from all mistakes, and the live she had have.




I loved this book because of all the great details John Green uses. It makes the book much more interesting and surprising. I like how the end was not expected. It was different from all the other books and had something special. As I read I could also imagine everything in the book and how every character was. I like the way the message is giving on how the characters interpreted. He also uses places like Orlando and New York that are really visited by people  and I could imagine the whole story in my head. The book was great and I would definitively recommended to kids and adults. 

          

In the way to find Margo



Quentin and their friends decided to go to find Margo. They found a map in this weird place that apparently was a Souvenir Store  that Margo had left for them to found out. Q and their friends was going to be the first time they were going to be absent to school. Quentin had to pretend to be sick and vomiting so he could actually take the mini van and go to New York with his friends. Radar had planned the trip really good for them to get to prom, which Q was not that interested. The ones who went on a trip were Quentin, Radar, Angela, Lacey, and Ben. There were many hours of trip, and the time was perfectly calculated by Radar. They had 6 minutes to stop in the gasoline, to buy food, drinks and shirts and then they had to continue driving. But on the night Quentin got decentralized and a cow was in the road and the car got damaged. They slept in the road that night. Many interesting things happen that night between Angela and Radar and also between Ben and Lacey. The other day It was finally the day to find Margo. They went to the Paper Town but when they arrived Margo wasn't there. They kept looking and looking and nothing. After that They saw a girl, it was Margo. They talked with her and after that Quentin and Margo kept talking. 


"Q is not so melodratragic as that." (257)

In this part of the book where all the friends were in the road trip in the way looking for Margo. Radar says "Q is not so melodratragic as that. And im wondering what does MELODRATRAGIC means? Is it something like melodramatic or a disease? Maybe its just a made up word by the author to explain how dramatic the situation or the character is. 


This last chapters had been really interesting and have a lot of detail. I think Quentin is going to find
Margo and tell her the whole truth. That he love her and that he went all the way to New York Just to find her. And then they are going to fell in love and o back to Orlando. Finally go to prom enjoy the last weeks of school, graduate go to collage together and marry.

MARGO HAS DISSAPEARED



After Quentin and Margo had that incredible adventure on that long night, Quentin was anxious of what Margo would do the next day in school. He woke up in the morning feeling more tired that he felt on the night. As usually he was running late for school. Her mom gave him breakfast, and immediately toke him to school. He reunited with Radar and Ben and he didn't saw Margo's car. He thought that Margo was too tired for school. But when he arrived home he saw Margo's curtain open, which that never happen. Then Margo's parents went to Q's house with police officers. They seemed nervous and worried. That was because Margo had runned away again. They had no idea where she went, and two days had past. Margo's mom explain that every time she left Margo left tracks for them to find her. But this time it was different. No clue was found. Quentin went to Margo's room to investigate, he found poems which talked about New York. Q went to talk to Margo's friend Lacey, she said she had no idea where she went, but she wanted Quentin to go to New York to find her. But Q wasn't sure.

                               

"I don't know who she is anymore, or who she was, but I need to find her." (141)

Quentin has been in love with Margo for a really long time. But she was the typical popular girl that never turns around to see not so popular guys like Q. After that long night they had, doing antics and having fun with other people Q liked even more Margo. But she decided to dissapear. Margo was leaving clues not for her parents but for Quentin to find her. Maybe she also liked Q and maybe she wanted Q to find her. And its working. 

"I lay down and started to feel a little depressed about prom. I refused to feel any kind of sadness over the fact that I wasn't going to prom, but I had stupidly, embarrassingly thoughts of finding Margo." (133)

I think Quentin does like prom, but he says he doesn't like it because he doesn't have the perfect girl for that. Maybe if someday Margo returns or someone finds her, and could get to be Q's girlfriend he would take her to prom. Why I don't understand about this recent chapters, is why Margo left? Why does she escape and wants people to find her? She doesn't receive that much attention? On the next chapters I hope Q or someone finds her to figure out why she runned away.


I like how the author John Green, ends each chapter. It makes me want to discover new things about the book and keep reading. He uses short phrases that makes me wonder and think what might happen in the novel. He also uses characterization really good, it makes the character really specific and that helps me imagine how he is and while reading the book I can see him in my head. As well imagery, the book setting is on Florida, and I can see the book as a movie. I  think the authors tools in this novel really makes it more interesting and useful for people to read.
