After Quinten As Depicted In Paper Towns By John Green

Life is very complex and often hard to define. However, this challenge does not stop people from trying to sum up the meaning of life in one word. In Paper Towns by John Green, the three metaphors the strings, the grass, and the vessel are used throughout the book to chronicle the protagonist’s, Quentin, experiences.

Having been familiar with Green’s work, I just assumed that it was another one of his metaphors - I don’t what it is with John Green, but I think he has an unhealthy obsession with metaphors.

Paper Towns written by award winning author John Green, is a captivating, intriguing, innovative, coming of age novel that had me hooked from the first paragraph.
