Paper Towns The Ending
It's the night of graduation. Quentin grabs his friends and a couple of girls to go with him to this journey to New York. It is a long intense journey. Quinten is trying to get there as quickly as possible so they can catch Margo before she leaves Agloe forever. 21 hours pass by and the reach New York finally. They come across this old abandoned barn. At first Quinten and his friends doubted checking the barn to see if she was really there. But something made Quentin believe she was actually there. Bam! There Margo is sitting in this old barn writing. After, Quinten confronts her, they start to argue. Quinten's friends get mad and upset so they leave. They end up taking his car to drive back to Orlando so they wouldn't miss the school dance. Quinten didn't even care that they left , he had more important things on his mind. He wants/needs to get Margo back into his life. Margo realizes she loves him too but convinces him that they aren't meant for each other. Margo confesses that she left because she needed everyone to forget her false personality back in Orlando. I think Margo just couldn't be herself around her classmates. She needed to get away to find herself. Quinten refuses to believe her, he doesn't want to give up on her just yet. Yes they love each other but they both agree that they will both have different futures. Margo stays in New York while Quinten takes the next bus back to Orlando. Quinten joins his friends at graduation and the school dance. Quinten is now finally free to move on from his love for Margo Roth Spiegleman. Margo remains the "paper girl" and Quinten remains the "paper boy". The end.
Paper Towns The Middle
Margo has left a series of clues to Quinten and his friends. Quinten and his friends piece together the clues she left and found out where she is hiding. Quinten is facing many conflicts throughout this story. One of the conflicts he is facing is his against his friends. His friends don't really want to look for Margo, but change their mind because they want to help their friend. But later in the middle of the book school is coming to an end. Graduation and their important high school dance is coming up. Quinten's friend Radar has a girlfriend who he brings onto the trip to find Margo. This trip is a 21 hour trip from Orlando, Florida to Agloe, New York. His friends give Quinten trouble by saying that they want to be home in time for the school dance but Quinten thinks they aren't being good friends because they aren't sticking around with him. All of his friends lost hope in the search for Margo. Another conflict Quinten faces is him against himself. Throughout the journey he doubts himself constantly. Asking questions such as; Does she really love me? Is she really in New York? He realizes he follows a string of false leads, which makes him think he loves someone who doesn't exist. Quinten tries to understand Margo's personality and who she is so he bribes her little sister and hangs out in her room so he can get a feel for who she really is. Will Quinten continue his search for Margo? Will Quinten make it back home in time for graduation and the high school dance? My opinion has changed from my first blog post, I think that Quinten will find her, because he has the desire for her, and I think she will come home with him so they can both go to the dance together.

Paper Towns The Beginning
The theme of this book is that friends will stick by your side no matter what. My book belongs in the mystery genre because in this book Margo runs away but leaves clues so her fellow classmates can find her. Some other books that may be in the same genre are The woman in white, and One for the money. Quinten is your typical high school student who believes him and his friends Radar, and Ben don't belong with the popular crowd. If Quinten was an animal he would be a raccoon. He is always neglected by others. Quinten was madly in love with his neighbor and fellow classmate Margo Roth Spiegelman. Quinten and Margo were close friends before high school but grew apart when Margo started dating a popular jock. Margo plans revenge on her ex-boyfriend after she finds out that he was cheating on her with a so called "friend". Margo asks Quinten for help, and without hesitation he agreed. He thought in his head maybe by helping her she would fall in love with him. They both do a series of pranks and Quinten's love for Margo rises throughout the night. A mystery occurs the next morning, when Quinten finds out Margo went missing. Margo leaves Quinten clues such as riddles, and puzzles leading him a little bit closer to where she is hiding. Quinten drags his nerdy friends along with him for help and start piecing together each clue. Before she went missing she always told Quinten about paper towns. A paper town is a fake town cartographers use to detect copycats. In all the clues that Quinten has found he realized that they all lead to a paper town. When days turned into weeks, Quinten found out where Margo went. Margo went to a Paper town called Algoe, New York. How will Quinten get there? Will Quinten ever find her? In my opinion I think Quinten will never find her. He is going to get close to finding her but then give up and find another girl he can obsess over.
