Graphic Representation Of Agloe

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. The novel revolves around Quentin Jacobsen, a high school senior. When his former best friend and long time crush, Margo Roth Spiegelman, comes back into his life and then suddenly disappears, Q attempts to piece together the clues he believes Margo left behind for him. Each of these three metaphors represent what Q is feeling and allow him to view life from different perspectives. As

Lacey, the last main character in Paper Towns, is a kind-hearted person who helped Quentin during his road trip to Agloe. In the book, Lacey describes Margo, “‘I honestly never thought of her as anything but my crazy beautiful friend who does all the crazy beautiful things,’” (Green 185). In the quote, Lacey talks about Margo, like she was her friend and cared about her, even though Margo

In the book, Paper Towns, there are many people that cause conflict like Chuck Parson, Jase Worthington, and Margo's parents. Throughout the story, these people cause small conflicts. The real person who is always in the center of conflict is Margo. Even though Margo isn't really a "villain", she is the main person that causes all of the conflict in this book. She is very well-known at her school, and she is dating the popular jock, Jase Worthington. Everyone knows Margo Roth Spiegelman.

The book Paper Towns by John Green is a story about going past the imagination to actually know somebody. Quentin, who is convinced he is in love with the wild and adventurous Margo, goes on a journey to find her when she ran away. Through this journey, he finds a new Margo, the real Margo. Instead of imagining the Margo of his dreams, who is perfect and daring, he sees a different side, like looking through a fun house mirror. Using the theme of perceptions vs. reality, John Green shows readers through Quentin that you have to dig deeper in order to know and understand someone.

The definition of courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. Margo Roth Spiegelman is an astonishing character that displays this trait. Margo and Quentin first met when they moved into the same neighborhood, Margo being her curious self she decided to sneak into Quentin’s bedroom. They talked for hours on end and began to grow a strong friendship. Since that night, Quentin follows Margo on all of her mysterious adventures so she can try to get revenge on her cheating boyfriend. However, Margo then goes missing the next day and leaves a small number of clues for Quentin and his friends to find her. In John Green’s Paper Towns, Green demonstrates what it’s like to grow up with a moving family, arguments and many more at home issues that teenagers face daily.

This book starts out when Margo runs away from home. The night before she and Quentin go settle the score she has with all of her friends. Margo also settles the score she has with her boyfriend since he cheated on her. After that Quentin starts finding clues that he thinks Margo left in order to lead

They were looking out over the town. Margo was thinking how ugly it was, and how fake it all looked while Quentin thought of how gorgeous the view was. “I mean look at it, Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenient store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper thin and paper frail. And all the people, too.” (Green 57-58). Margo was saying that it is just one big boring town that is all the same. There is never any excitement. This relates society today because everyone does the same thing everyday. We wake up go to work or school or whatever we do first thing in the morning but we do it exactly the same, every day. People are doing the same thing all the time and that makes it not interesting. It's like school we wake up, we go to school, we do what the teacher tells us and we go to our next class. It's the same schedule everyday and that's what makes school

Paper towns, written by John Green, is a about a young and timid teenager named Quentin. However, he is in for the night of his life when Margo Roth Spiegelman, the most popular girl at school, selects him to help her with risky pranks on the friends that betrayed her. However, Margo disappears the following day, which brings Quentin to develop an obsession of finding her. Quinten, unable to merely forget about Margo, embarks on a journey together with his friends to find the girl who stole his heart. The plot functions along with the main conflict, which is Quinten against the society. The first example of this conflict is demonstrated early in the novel. After Quinten helps Margo play the pranks on her ex-friends, Margo disappears the following

They weren't spending any more time or hangout together since the dead body, On day at the middle of the night Margo came to Quentin window asking him for a favor. She needs him to drive her around for revenge against her friends who betrayed her by lying and cheating. Quentin wasn't sure about it at the first but he was so excited that he and Margo are friends again.

Adventure is a clear theme and motif throughout his journey. While he loved the idea of finding Margo, the quest to find her was ultimately better than finding her. Their trip spanned the entire East Coast from Florida to New York. Speed pit stops, side stories of romance and even deadly cows were encountered in the process of reaching his final destination. After shock and disbelief strikes himself and the rest of his friends when they're left alone at a vacant and barren shack in the middle of nowhere, his friends are ready to end the journey there and make it home in time for their senior prom. Quentin had other plans. Quentin had gone blind, covered in the mask of love and made the choice to stay alone, while his friends had begun their trip to return home. When Quentin finds Margo roaming the streets of Agloe, he confesses his love, but instead of being met with joy, he discovers his misdirection. Margo wasn't leaving clues for him to find her, she was leaving clues to remind him that she was safe. Quentin now becomes enlightened on the fact that she didn't bring him the happiness that he had always wanted but instead the experience did. The experience of going on an adventure was what made him feel good.

After realizing that reality does not always reflect one's perception, the characters in the book mature fully into adults. The theme of false identities is strong throughout Paper Towns. At the end when Quentin finally realizes who Margo truly is, he finds himself, realizing this demonstrates he has matured. The help and friendships of others assist in the characters transition to adulthood. With the help of friends and family Quentin can mature as a person and realize who he truly is not just Margo.

Quentin was constantly looking at her and thinking of her, but acted like a fly on the wall. One night, Margo needs help with something, so she goes into Quentin’s room. It seems like an ordinary day to Quentin, until, “...just before midnight, when Margo Roth Spiegelman slid open my screenless bedroom window for the first time since telling me to close it nine years before (Green, 24).” The events that occurred when they were children were so scarring for Margo, she was not able to even interact with Quentin for almost a decade. This disconnection proves that the psychological changes Margo went through haunted her enough to change her

When Quentin and his friends went searching for Margo, they came across places that helped them understand what kind of person Margo really is. All of them knew Margo, but not in a certain way. "These are the things I cannot imagine, and I realize I cannot imagine because I didn't know Margo” (Page 170). Quentin is thinking about Margo and the clues she gives him. Also, he questions why she

In the novel entitled Paper Towns by John Green she runs off to an unknown place called a paper town and a lovesick friend is determined to find her. There is multiple reasons and much rationality in why Margo had decided to disappear to this place.     The most obvious reason that the novel, Paper Towns is called this, is because

On page 57 I found a quote that really resembled the title of the book, “It’s a paper town…all those paper people living in in there paper houses, burning the future to stay warm.” One night Q’s life was not what he had expected at all. When Margo took Q to the top of the SunTrust bank Q had no idea what was happening until he walked into the conference room with Margo and saw their whole town of Orlando Florida. That is when Margo told Q that she believed they lived in a paper town. Later on Q found out a paper town is a fictionist town that a mapmaker creates so people won’t copy it. So Margo thought the town of Orlando Florida was made up and so were the people, pets, buildings the whole entire city. Since Orlando is not technically an actual
