"But imagining being someone else, or the world being something else, or the world being something else, is the only way in. It is the machine that kills fascists" (Green 299)
I'm shocked! Seriously, this book contains so many important things that we need in our life. I've learned so much reading this, and I bet that every other book John Green has written it's the same, full of wise stuff. Imagination could be a very powerful weapon, even if it seems insignificant. Fascists don't know what diversity is, they just want everything to be as they want it to be. So, imagination, is creating your own things so fascism its destroyed because everybody gets to decide how they live so they don't live according to another person's desires. I feel like Quentin says many things that are true and he is very intelligent.
"It is saying these things that keeps us from falling apart. And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them. The light rushes out and floods in" (Green 304)Ok, let me explain this, to "these things" he means "I'll write you" or "I'll call you" and he says that those phrases keeps them (Margo and him) from falling apart because they both like each other and they might not see each other for a long time. Sometimes, we need to say those things to know that we won't loose the person that's going away entirely, so we try to keep communication. That's something humans do, they hold on to tight to persons so when they leave it's to hard for us to let go. And then, when the moment arrives, we go into darkness and we feel lonely, but we have to see the others who are by our side as well. It was hard for Quentin to let margo go her own way when what he wanted was for her to build a future with him and they'd return together to Orlando to continue their lives where they started living them. We are always looking for a last hug and a last kiss to keep something with us.
I can't believe it! I actually finished the book! I really liked it. Paper Towns was a really incredible book. I enjoyed it until the last moment, although I was a little disappointed by how the story ends because it's not what I expected, I wanted a happier ending, I wanted margo to go with Q and the rest that went to look for her. I wish that Margo hadn't been so mean at first with them, but that's how I would have wanted the story to be. There's nothing I can do about it, just imagine how it would have been the way I wanted it to be. Well, the point is, I really liked reading it. It wasn't like other books I've read, where I don't actually enjoy, if I'm about to read something, I would want to enjoy it because reading a book that you don't enjoy it's not reading. I like the way John Green writes because his stories are inspired by real life stories and situations that many people can relate themselves to. I would really like to read a book that's similar to this one. I wonder if John Green writes his books based on things that really happened. In my opinion John Green is a really good author that I would recommend.
I decided to include the Paper Towns movie trailer in this last post, so... here it is.
