Now Everything Makes Sense

Summary of this week´s chapters

They start their trip and everything was perfect and all their schedule was on time. While they were on the road, Lacey and Radar were asleep and Q was driving and Ben was keeping him company and then they saw 2 cows and there was no way out so they thought they were going to crash and die but Ben gets control and saves everyone although Q gets a little injured. On hour 19 of their trip they arrived in NYC. Radar starts to drive really slowly, they see a barn and Q thinks that may be Algoe´s general store and Lacey sees Margo´s car. They enter to the barn and they start to search for her and Ben tells Q she is in a corner, the finally found her! She looked different and she was in a corner writting on her notebook and she did not see them but then Radar said Margo and she was very surpsised like Q. When Margo saw them she didn´t act happy or excited she just acted like nothing happen and that she didn´t care they found her.Lacey and Margo got into a fight because Margo was being mean to her so Lacey, Ben, and Radar went outside but Q stayed and talked to Margo.Margo started to act mean towards Q and again as if she didn´t care he did a lot of work and effort to find her and they got into a fight but then she was sorry she acted that way and were in a good position again. Margo tells Q that what she wrote on her notebook was a story she wrote when she was in fourth grade and admitted she liked Q. Later, Margo explained the reason why she left and all the clues and her trip and everything to Q. At the end, Q and Margo kiss and Margo aks Q to go to NYC with her but he declines, they kiss again and they decide to calñl, message, write etc., to eachother and meet again.

When I read Margo and Q went different ways I thought about this quote.

Important quotes

"We´re standing outside in the parking lot of a single-story motel when the good-byes become unavoidable".

In this part of the story I was really hooked into the book. I couldn´t believe Margo and Q were going to say goodbye. I felt like it happened to me. This also reminds me of a t.v series I watched called The Vampire Diaries. In the series, Damon and Elena have to say goodbye like Margo and Q. It is so emotional because you don´t think that was ever going to happen.

This is the scene of The Vampire Diaries I relate to with Paper Towns.

"I understand now that I can´t be her and she can´t be me".

I really liked here that John Green was very original. Like a lot of books show the couple as if they like common things, like they want what the other ones but not in this book. It is interesting to see how 2 characters that are so opposite are so great together. I really think this made the book so much better. Also, John Green describes what the characters think and want so good that you can really picture them and see them like real people.

Final thougts

I loved this book soooo much. I resally lke how John Green wrote this book it was so good that I could imagine everything being true like a movie. I recomend this book to everyone is a reat book that no one should miss it. Most of all what I really liked was the ending. I liked it so much because it is not the typical ending in which you predict what happens, it surprises you. Like I predicted they would find Marg and go back to their home and Q and Margo would be together and eeverything woulod go back to normal but it was a completely different thing and I got so surprised. Once again, I love the book!!!!

Could it Be Algoe?

Summary of this week´s chapters

Q arrived to the party but Ben was not ready to home so Q waited him. Later, it was 5 am so Q had to take Ben to his house but Ben was really drunk. The next day, Q and Radar were still searching about Margo after Q told him about the new information he discovered at the Troll Holes. The Troll Holes were in a minimall. It was finals week so after that exams day, Q, his friends and Lacey decided to go to the minimall. When they were in the minimall, they saw three people and this people were Gus (who was a segurity guy who has friends with Margo) and two of Gus´ friends. Margo used to break into the minimall before with Gus and his friends and Gus told the guys that Margo used to take pictures, sit down and analyze, write in her notebook etc., about the minimall. Another day, Q, his friends and Angela went to the minimall and they found a map with pins of possible locations that Margo left but they were not exact so finally Q analyzes the map and he gets to the conclusion she might be in NYC. Later, Q, his friends, and Lacey create a groupchat and they were investigating about places in NYC that Margo might have been in but Radar has a prediction she might be in the graduation day. On the graduation day, Q´s parents gave Q a graduation present which was a minivan of his own, he was super excited. He later searched for NYC and he found something about a paper town named Algoe which was a ficticious town with 0 population. There were comments on the page about people who have been in Algoe and Q noticed one comment that said that until June 29 the population would be 1. When Q noticed it was from Margo he was so happy because he knew she was alive and although his graduation was that day, Q went to Algoe in a 24 hour trip in a search of Margo with his friends and Lacey. The first hour they stopped at a gas station to get food and to get the calculations of how much time they had to spend at each stop and things like that for the trip.

When I saw Margo´s comment about Algoe

Important quotes

"The town was paper, but the memories were not".

I analyzed this quote but I also relate it to my life. I analyzed that its true like things can be fake but what you have lived with them are not. I relate this with my life with people. Like I have experienced having friendships with a lot of fake people but the memories, experiences and lessons I get from them actually teached me something valuable about life. And also not just a lesson but also they showed me someone I don´t want to be and like mistakes I have made. 

"This was the first time in my life that so many things would never happen again".

I can make a connection to something that my brother told me once. When my brother graduated from high school he was so sad. I asked him why he was so sad and he told me that it was so hard to leave something he did almost his entire life every day like to go to school and see his friends and go to class and things like that. He told me to apreciate a lot my years in school because I would later miss them. So when I read this about Q I could really understand how he really felt. 

Final thoughts

The end of this book is so near! I have enjoyed this book so much I can even say is one of my favorites. Although I am very happy because there is still one more adventure before the book ends. I predict that they will find Margo in Algoe and I hope Margo goes back to leave in Orlando. I really want to know what happens next I am so excited!

How I feel for 1 more adventure

The True Meaning of a Paper Town

Summary of this week´s chapters

Lacey (Margo´s friend who she thought was awfull) talks to Q and Ben and she ends up going to prom with Ben. Q read the poet from the book that Margo left and she left a clue on Q´s door and it had an adress from the day she left, 8328 bartlesville Avenue, the avenue was a building. It was Q´s chance to see Margo before prom and go to prom with her, that was Q´s dreams. The next day Q and his friends arrived at the adress that was a pseudovision which is a subdivision that is not finished and has been abandoned and it looked like a place to die. They went inside the building and they found a library with some holes that were called Troll Holes. In one of them they found a grafitti on the wall which Q knew it was from Margo that said "You will go to the paper towns and you will never come back." Q started to research about paper towns and he found out a paper town is a pseudivision then he started to look for a list of possible pseudivisions she might be in. Is prom day, Radar and Ben are busy because of prom but Q does not care about prom so he goes to search for Margo and he finds her nailpolish from the night she spent with Q, he also finds some eating bars and a blanket that smelled like Margo so Q was sure Margo was living there on the Troll holes and Q was going to spend the prom night there in the Troll Holes. Q went to the library that was there and found a book that Margo had already read about all the attractions around the world that a person could go to so Q thinks that maybe Margo spent a night there and then hit the road again. Ben calls Q at 3 am to ask him pick him up at a party. Q at first denied but Ben sounded so drunk that Q accepted because he also thought that if Margo was going to the Troll Hole she might have already got there but she didn´t so he went to the party to pick up Ben.

My reaction by how hard Q tries to search for Margo.

Important quotes

"In the end, the rats didn´t matter, not really, because I was in a place where Margo had been alive". 

In this quote what I noticed more was how sweet Q is. He cares so much for Margo is so sweet! Is like he only thinks about her and I think that is what the author is trying to show. The author is using indirect characterization on Q by his actions. By noticing how Q keeps Margo on his mind all day, it shows how romantic he can be.

"I needed to discover what Margo was like when she wasn´t been Margo".

I like this quote because it shows how even Q analyzes everything. He started to understand the poem like not so literal. I think the author made this because he maybe wants the reader to also analyze and not read everything so literal. To be more like Q, to learn a lesson from this book.

Final thoughts

I like so much this book! Is like every week there are new surprises and so much clues that make the book spo interesting. I think is so cool how Margo planned everythingt and every clue so good that you have to think and analyze everything so much. I predict Q will find her with the clues but I thought he was going to find her before prom. I hope this book keeps being so great as is has been so far.

How Margo makes me think about her clues.
