The book I chose is Paper Towns by John Green. So far in the book the main character Quentin Jacobsen also know as "Q" and Maqtgo Spiegelman. Quentin a nerdy dark-haired boy, is in love with a popular blonde haired girl who live across the street. Margo is the type of person who is super rebellious and breaks rules. WhileQuentin on the other hand is a straight A student who never breaks any rules. One day Margo showed up at his window in the middle of the night. Margo asked Quentin to drive her around town while she goes on one of her adventures. Quentin didn't want to seem like the type of person who doesn't like to have fun so he agreed. They went to the houses of people who have betrayed Margo's trust. For example, her ex-boyfriends Jase's house whop cheated on her with one of her best friends, Becca. They vandalized cars, houses, and walls/ They broke in to places all night. The night came to an end and Quentin thought everything would be different at school the next day but he was wrong.
On page 70, it says, "Fine but when SeaWorld Incorporated, or whatever sends a letter to Duke University saying that miscreant Quentin Jacobsen broke into their facility at four-thirty in the morning with a wild-eyed lass at his side, Duke will be, mad. Also, my parents. (Green 70) Thos shows that Quentin really cares about getting into Duke and making his parents proud. While Margo on the other hand does really crazy things without even thinking what her parents will do when they find out, she also couldn't care less about going to an university.
In the text it says, "Everyone's demented with the mania of owning things. All things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never had nice in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters." (Green 57-58) This detail is important because it shows that Margo isn't just the popular girl everyone thinks she is. Margo cares about a lot of stuff and she's a really deep thinker. I guess Margo feels disappoint that the fact people don't really care.
Some comments that I have is that Margo really believes in revenge. The whole trip was planned to get revenge to the people that hurt her. She's doing illegal stuff just to get back at people. I've also notices that Marog doesn't treat Quentin in the best way. He's in love with her and treats her so well but she doesn't treat him so well sometimes.
