Blog 1: Introduction
The book that I reading this call, "Paper Towns", by John Green. Paper Towns is about a boy, Quintin "Q" Jacobsen spending time with a mysterious girl, Margo Roth Speiglemen, since he moved to the same neighborhood as her, Jefferson Park, when they were both 9. Growing up, Margo would ask you to go with her to do adventures together and he would except. Now they're both 17 about to graduate. They both go on the last adventure together, prancing and so much more. To the people that call themselves Margo's friends and reveal their secrets.
But Q didn't know that at the very night, it would be the last time having fun and seeing her. The next morning he finds out that Marco is missing. He tries to find her by using the clues she left behind for him and only him to understand. As to find her, the more he finds the true side of her he never knew.
Blog 2: Focus, Analyze, and Explain How Do they feel?
On page 26 Chapter 2 is says, " So like I said, I need a car. Also I need you to drive it, because I have to do 11 things tonight, and at least five of them involve a getaway man." When I let my Psion focus, she became nothing but eyes, floating in the ether. And then I looked back on her, and I could see the outline of her face, the paint still wet against her skin. Her cheekbones triangulating into her chin, her pitch – black lips barely turn to a smile. "Any felonies?" I asked. "Hmm," Said Margo "Remind me if breaking and entering is a felony." "No," I answered firmly. "No it's not a felony or no you won't help?" "No I won't help. Can't you enlist some of your underlings to drive you around?" Lacy and/or Becca were always doing her bidding. "They're apart of the problem, actually," Margo said. "What's the problem?" I asked "There are eleven problems," she said somewhat impatiently. "No felonies" I said "Iswear to God you will not be asked to commit a felony." This detail is important because it shows how Q acts. he is very cautious of certain things like this because he I very different from other people in Jefferson Park. He doesn't like putting his future at risk if there is something that can. He also thinks that no matter what, he has to be the grown up in his world.
Focus in Blog 2: Conflict: Are they internal or external?
Clinton is usually an internal because since his only basic known friends are Ben and Rader (Marcus), they do a lot of things together. Q isn't very social, but still is social around his friends, but not to other people. On Page 91-92' it states, "He didn't interrupt me once – – Ben was a good friend in the not – interrupting way me once-- but when I finished, he immediately asked me the most pressing question in his mind. "Wait, so about Jason Worthington, how small are we talking?" "Shrinkage may have played a role, since he was under significant anxiety, but have you ever seen a pencil?" I asked him, and been nodded. "Well, have you ever seen a pencil eraser?" He nodded again. "Well, have you ever seen the little shavings of rubber left on the paper after you erase something?" More nodding. "I'd say three shavings long and one shaving wick." I said. Ben ad taken a lot of crap from guys like Jason Worthington and Chuck Parson, so I figured he was entitled to enjoy ita little.But he didn't even laugh. He was just shaking his head slowly, awestruck. "God, she is such badass." "I know." "She's the kind of person who either dies tragically at twenty-seven, like Jim Hendrix and Janis Joplin, or else graus up to win, like, the first-ever Nobel Prize for Awesome." "Yeah," I said. I rarely tried of talking about Margo Roth Spiegleman but I was rarely this tired. I leaned back against the cracked vinyl heardest and fell immediately asleep. When I woke up a Wendy's hamburger was sitting in my lap with a note. 'Had to go to class, bro. See you after band'"
Focus in Blog 3: Theme
The theme of the story is that people change all the time. You shouldn't judge on how person is be in the past. That is the theme because all throughout the book Q would've been thinking of how Margo was when she was little because that's how he would think she is now. On page 173, it states, "Who is Margo Roth Spiegleman?" Like a metaphor rendered incomprehensible by its ubiquity, there was room in what she had left me for endless imaginings, for an infinite set of Marrgo's." On page 284-285 it states," She's screaming back, louder than I thought possible. "You're not even pissed at me, Q! You're pissed at this idea of me you keep inside your brain from when we were little."
