Margo

In this chapters of the book Quentin, Ben and Radar continue finding the clues Margo left. After Ben discovered that the phrase highlighted in green was an instruction, they went to Margo's house to unscrew her doors. When they did, they didn't found anything, which made Quentin feel upset. Some days passed until Quentin decided he would try Margo's instructions in his doors, this time he found a little paper with this address: 8328 bartlesville Avenue. He looked it up and found a strange building 34.6 miles away so he plans to skip class the next day with Ben and Radar to go to this building, which was an abandoned mall, they break a window to get in but they just found 3 rooms connected bu TROLL HOLES; a bookstore, an office with calendars in every desk (all of them in February except one, which was in June), and a room that seemed to be a souvenir shop. They found nothing but a phrase in the wall that said:

You will go to the paper towns and never come back  

When prom night arrives, Radar takes Angela while Quentin goes back to the building to see if he can find something and this time, he does. He found Margo's nail polish and blanket, which made him discover that Margo is not dead. He stayed there until Ben called him while he was drunk and told him he was his designated driver. He went to prom's afterparty and when he went to the bathroom, he found Lacey in the bathtub, he went in and then Lacey felt asleep, later Quentin took both Lacey and Ben to their homes.

"This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead" (Green 140)

This quote shows how scared were Quentin, Ben and Radar when they found the building Margo had sent them to. It was all covered with dust and it was old. There were old doors that didn't open. The windows were covered, and no on e was there. That was the place that took Quentin to the conclusion that Margo was dead because he couldn't find her sooner. I wouldn't like to be in a place like that because, like Quentin, it would remind me of loneliness and dead. Now that's SCARY! 

" "No one will ever be the new Margo," I Said. "Anyway, you have what she really wants. People like you. People think you're cuter" (Green 184)

I decided to include this quote because it shows the different personalities of the different characters. It shows how sweet and motivational Quentin (Quentin is the one talking, he is the "I", since he is the one who tells the story) can be with someone that's feeling sad and ashamed, people like Quentin are really nice friends. It shows that Margo is unique and no one would ever be like her and no one would ever replace her. It shows that Becca (the "she" in the quote) wants what the others have, she is not original and she needs to be like the others to feel accepted. It also shows that people like Lacey (the "you"), they think she's pretty and that she is a nice person. 
In this quote Quentin is speaking to Lacey when they're in the bathtub when she starts complaining about the things that Beca has done to her, and Quentin tries to cheer her up. I like how this little amount of words can say much about some of the characters in this story.


As I read, the story gets better and better. I realized Quentin won't stop looking for Margo never. He will continue looking until he finds her, because he is crazy in love with her! I think that after prom night, everybody needed some rest, so after that, I think that Quentin will want to keep looking for Margo but his friends tell him that she's gone and that he should stop looking for her because maybe she will never appear. But Quentin decides not to listen to his friends and goes look for more clues. Anyway, that's not so right because Radar and Ben are unlikely to fight with Quentin, maybe they will help him after all. I can't wait to see what happens next! I'm really enjoying this book.
