The Final Post for Paper Towns by John Green

                  As I near the end of the mystery, the plot is building more and more with the search for Margo Roth Spiegelman. Quentin has been extremely focused on being the first one to find Margo, that he completely hides useful information from his friends, until he figures it out himself first, which I find quite selfish and conceded. But I do understand his struggle to find a lost friend, even though he knows that what he thought was true about Margo, is completely incorrect and confusing. What I find so crazy near the end of the book, is that Quentin was willing to skip his graduation to go find Margo in his brand new minivan all the way in some un-existing town in New York! If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't leave my graduation to go find someone that I barely know, but Quentin did put so much effort into finding her, that I understand why he didn't want it to go to waste.


                  Although this seems to be a very well thought out novel, I find some of the components very confusing involving the clues and how Quentin feels. At the start of the novel, I felt that the clues were very interesting and fun to learn, but now it seems that the clues have absolutely no meaning because Margo isn't making them, but Quentin still manages to find the clues he needs. So to me, I feel that if Quentin were not as dedicated or brave as John Green makes him, the story would have no plot or meaning to it. I desperately hope that the very conclusion ends bitter sweet because that is how the entire novel was, and Margo and Quentin's relationship.

                I would like to take some time to explain the picture that I chose for this SPECIFIC blog. The picture reads "You will go to the paper towns and you will never come back." This quote is a deep representation of what Margo says at the beginning of the novel, when her and Quentin go on their rebellious exploration to get revenge on their former friends. She says this to explain Florida and how much she hates it. Then later on in the novel, she leaves this clue behind for Quentin in the mini mall where she was hiding for so long. This leads Quentin to believe that she is in New York because all she wanted was to run away from the horrible paper town and find herself in a sensation of escape. This is one of the most important lines in the book, and I hope that the very near ending of the book relates to this concept physically and emotionally.
