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.
