Nearing the End of Paper Towns by John Green

             As a teenager, Quentin Jacobsen is experiencing a lot. Margo Roth Spiegelman's disappearance, finding clues to discover her again, while secretly lying to his trusting parents, and saving his friends from being drunk at crazy parties. If it weren't for the stress of High-School, then Quentin could have found Margo by now. But I believe that Margo wanted it to be hard to find her, because she has many philosophy's for life, and she makes it quite clear that she wants life to have a struggle, so when you accomplish something that you felt defeated about, then it will seem even better when you complete or accomplish it. I think that the further I get to the conclusion of this novel, I will see the philosophy that she see views as love between Quentin and her.

             As I go through the motions of Paper Towns by John Green, I always find myself wondering what Margo is doing while Quentin runs around frantically looking for scraps of her. Is she relaxing in the Caribbean trusting that Quentin has enough time and money to get a plane there? Or is she hiding from a demon within her that she needs help from Quentin to get rid of? Whatever it is, It is majorly effecting Quentin's teenage life. I think that being a teenager is important to develop important life lessons and goals for the future, and if Quentin is always looking for her, he will be underdeveloped for future life, whether that's with Margo, or another person. But if it does work out, I think this lost relationship will make them become closer, even if Margo may be so far away.

           Another thing that I always ask myself as I read this book, is how Quentin will react when, or if, he finds Margo. Will he be angry that she made him search the world for her? Or will he be grateful that she wanted him to find her, and that she obviously likes him? If I were in Quentin's shoes, I would be a mixture of both. This is because it would ruin my home life and my relationships with my actual friends, along with college and school. I would also be happy to see someone I loved after they left for such a long time. I feel the similar emotions that Quentin does, and I feel sorry and happy for him at the same time.
