Gone

In this chapters of the book, Margo and Quentin finish their crazy adventure. They go to Sea World and then they returned to their houses at 5:00 or so. Later at school, Margo doesn't show up, at first everyone thought it was the other times Margo had ran away, they thought she would come back. But, a few days later, Quentin starts to find clues he thinks Margo left for him. Ben and Radar helped him look around Margo's room for clues she might have left. They found a poetry book "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman with lots of blue highlights and one phrase highlighted in green:


Unscrew the locks from the doors!
Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs!

Quentin couldn't understand. Lacey will go to prom with Ben, who later figures out the phrase were instructions.




"She let go then, but kept looking at me, taking step after step backward.She raised her eyebrows finally, and smiled, and I believed the smile. I watched her climb up a tree and then lift herself onto the roof outside of her second-floor bedroom window. She jimmied her window open and crawled inside" (Green 81) 
 Poor Quentin, if only he knew that was going to be the last time he saw Margo before she disappeared. This quote shows how much Quentin cares about Margo, and how much he is in love with her. We didn't stop looking at her until she was inside her bedroom. I wish Margo realized how much Quentin loved her, maybe, if she had, she wouldn't have escaped. It would be really nice to have someone love you the way Quentin loves Margo. I think that if Quentin would have known that was the last time he would see Margo maybe he would have told her how he feels.




"It became a weekend of reading, or trying to see her in the fragments of the poem she'd left for me. I could never get anywhere with the lines, but i kept thinking about them anyway, because I didn't want to disappoint her. She wanted me to play out the string, to find the place where she had stopped and was waiting for me, to follow the bread crumb trail until it dead-ended into her" (Green 117)
Quentin must be tired! All that reading but still he doesn't know what it meant. This happened before Ben realized that the phrase was actually something Margo was telling Quentin what to do. He was really losing his mind trying to figure out what it meant, he read the whole poem like a hundred times. I wouldn't like to feel this way because you feel like you will never find a n answer to what you are questioning. If I was in his position, I think I would have had a headache.


"Now we're stressed out" is a fragment of the song "Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots.

This book is so catching! Once you start reading it, you can't stop. I was wrong in my last prediction because I thought that Quentin and his friends were going to be part of Margo's group, but that didn't happened because Margo was gone. But Lacey started spending tim with Ben since they're going to prom together. I think that in the next chapters of the book, Quentin will unscrew Margo's door from its jambs and he will find something that will lead to another clue. If thats the las clue, I think he's gonna find her, if it's not the last clue, I think he will keep looking until he finds something.
