Town

“She loved mysteries so much that she became one” is the most popular quote from John Green’s Paper Towns novel. In the story a spunky, outgoing teen named Margo Roth Spiegelman climbs back into Quentin Jacobsen’s life through a set of midnight heists against Margo’s ex-boyfriend. Although Quentin is thrilled to have Margo back in his life, his world is turned upside down when she mysteriously disappears the next day. Quentin and his friends embark on a series of adventures following the clues she

The play Our Town was something so unique and simple, but it somehow found a way to relate with everyone. Its simplicity seemed to be a hit or miss with many audience members. It was one of those plays that you relate so much with it you enjoy its minimalistic nature, or you find it too typical and boring. I happen to be among the group that found this play to be very appealing. I feel that at many times, little to no scenery and props make it hard to visualize the scene of a play. However, with

the book Paper Towns Quentin, Ben, Radar, and Lacy decide to go on a road trip to New York because they know that Margo is in Agloe, New York. Quinten remembered that the last clue he had about Margo was that she was in New York in a place like Paper town.

beings ever realize life while they live it?—every, every minute? (Emily Webb, Act III)” Our Town presents life as it truly is; as humans, we tend to only remember the big events in our life, and neglect the minute details. Throughout the book, Wilder entertains the notion that humans have learned to seemingly distance themselves from anything that doesn’t have immediate value to their memories. Our Town proves this notion by examining key aspects of the average person’s life in Grover’s Corners-

In a society where young adults are consumed by superficial appearances, the desire to understand others and conceptualize life is neglected. In the novel, Paper Towns, John Green challenges young adults to consider different perspectives through relatable characters and their experiences. At the beginning of the novel, Margo and Quentin do not recognize each other’s existence. Then, one night, Margo enters Q’s room through the window, and they go on an epic adventure of revenge. The next morning

     In the play “Our Town”, by Thornton Wilder, a character by the name of Simon Stimson makes a very insightful statement about people and their lives. Simon is dead and buried, as well as several of the play’s other characters, when a newly-dead young woman named Emily joins their ranks and begins to realize the triviality and ignorance of her existence, as well as that of every living person. The dead are discussing this insignificance and unawareness of the living when

the Pulitzer Prize winner play Our Town. In Our Town, Wilder tells the story of a town in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, and the daily lives of the inhabitants. In the play, the author uses minimal props and scenery as well as including a main character known as the Stage Manager that has the ability to break the fourth wall, allowing him to talk to the audience.

In Paper Towns by John Green, I've noticed the peculiar relationship between Margo and Quentin. I believe that this symbolises two of the most important themes in the novel, being Identity and exploration. Ever since Quentin and Margo found a dead body in a park together their friendship hasn't been the same, then Margo disappears and leaves Quentin clues to find her or ‘save her’ he and his friends eventually skip graduation and explore the options these clues leave them along the way Green develops

representation of the society live in the time that it is played; as a social opinion, but the common thing in all the plays is that they portray an immense amount of ideas and concepts, that in a way, are transmitted into the audience. In the play Our Town, Thornton Wilder uses symbolism, theme, and motif, as a unified concept to express a social observation towards the American life in the 1900’s, which in the beginning of the play is stated as ordinary and common, but as the play continues, it is transformed
