In the beginning of the book, Quentin was not the type to fit in, nor was he noticed by many other than his friends until he was finally noticed by his lifetime crush. One thing i disliked was Margo, who at first seemed unbearable and predictable and seemed like a smug. Therefore she was not the type of character that I would call my favorite, at first, but then she opens up to Quentin and I began to learn more about her.

The cover representing the moral meaning that there's a set destination for life by which Margo tries to make a set destination and Quentin wants to find it. "Paper Towns", being the name of the book meaning the destination is full of perfect people, which Margo want's to be perfect and free. ]]> 2018-01-17 03:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221940563 thill201 https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221942527 “It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.” (page 257.JG)

       This quote meaning that sometimes it is forgotten how big the world is and how there are some people like you. "Each of them imaginable," meaning that everyone is different and full of different thoughts and ideas. Everyone in the world  are unique in their own little ways, meaning that no one is the same but it is often that people try to be others in ways. This also meaning that not everything is what it seems to be, when Margo says "...and consistently misimagined," she means that people are quick to judge books by their covers, so when people are to actually open the book, everything is not what they thought it was to be.]]> 2018-01-17 03:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221942527 thill201 https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221942545 “I'm not saying that everything is survivable. Just that everything except the last thing is.” (page 301.JG)

       This quote was said by Quentin, this quote sticks out the most to me because he is talking about how not everything is bearable to live through. There was not much that was said in this quote but the first sentence itself already says a lot. ]]> 2018-01-17 03:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221942545 thill201 https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221942558 “As long as we don't die, this is gonna be one hell of a story.” (page 278.JG)

       My impressions of this quote makes me think that the people that are going on a road trip in this care are all daredevils when this is not really the case. This quote is one of the life lessons that is shown in the book, which is to live life to the fullest. This quote was said by the character in the book, Radar, who is one of Quentin's best friends that believes that death is the only thing that can stop him.

In regards to all the drama and bad things that may have happened in the book, those bad things are more than likely relatable to some. This book shows a lot of young users how to be a teenager and how high school is where you're going to meet a lot of your great friends. This book has even showed me and made me want to go on a road trip just because it sounded like so much fun and because it had a meaning behind it, the characters had no fear and they just wanted to be free. This book is also an easy read for people my age and believe it or not, it is quite interesting and gets exciting as you read because all there is to think about is the ending of the book.]]> 2018-01-17 04:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221945203 thill201 https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221947249 As you can listen to the lyrics and actually see them you could see that this somewhat relates to Quentin and a little bit of Margo due to the fact that they say in the song "sentimental..driving around" because Quentin is driving around looking for Margo. This song seems like it would flow with the story very well because it talks about feelings that a guy seems to have for a girl.]]> 2018-01-17 04:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/thill201/8q21h71gj42a/wish/221947249
