Paper Towns

My second quarter SSR book was Paper Towns by John Green.  This thrilling and hilarious book is one of a kind. My favorite character in the book was Margo Roth Speigelman. Margo was a major part of the storyline because her adventurous spirit lead the story. Margo is a risk-taker, rebellious, and intelligent. Margo was a dynamic character and this hurt and helped the story in different ways. She sometimes would be disrespectful to people who had hurt her and would be forceful at times. But Margo’s dynamic personality is also a plus because she influences Quentin into being more brave and fearless. Margo develops tremendously through the story because she is first seen as a fun, popular girl at school but as the story unfolds people start to see her more deeply and find she is different than they thought. A hilarious interaction Margo has is with Quentin (her next door neighbor). Through the book they are partners in crime and achieve heart racing activities. Quentin would always be weary but Margo was always assuring him that everything would be fine. In conclusion the book Paper Towns is an awesome read because it will feel as if you are right there experiencing the journey with them. It is also incredible to see how these characters grow throughout the story.

  1. Margo sounds like a fun friend to have around. I’ve always liked the characters who have that adventurous spirit, because its interesting to see what their next move is. Especially in a non fiction novel almost anything can happen, that in real would be either hard to do or end in a serious consequence. I guess this is one of the joys of reading; to experience all the fun the characters have without having to do it. I would love to see who Margo really is on the inside and would definitely consider reading this book.
