Margo grew up to become the most popular and talked-about girl in their high school, while Q became a reserved band geek and A-student. Both nine years old, they initially were close, but for the next nine years, she never spoke to him. It was love at first sight for Quentin Jacobsen, who goes by Q, when Margo Roth Spiegelman and her family moved next door in their generic, picture-perfect Florida suburb. Although the filmmakers of the new Paper Towns, based on Green’s third novel (Dutton, 2008), stay true to the author’s voice, they also soften it, downplaying the darkness and making one singular young woman more ordinary. Photo by Michael Tackett The box office success and the generally well received critical response of the first film adaptation of a John Green novel, The Fault in Our Stars, provides ample evidence that there is an audience to be found for somber, darker YA subject matter that has nothing to do with lottery killings or armed insurrections. They discuss the possible consequences of getting caught breaking into SeaWorld, however Margo convinces Quentin to do it because he will do anything to help Margo.Quentin (Nat Wolff) and Margo (Cara Delevingne) in Paper Towns. Quentin does not feel comfortable breaking into SeaWorld in the middle of the night because it is illegal, and they could get caught and get into major trouble. Margo asks Quentin to help her break into SeaWorld in which Quentin in not thrilled about and he replies, “Fine, but when SeaWorld incorporate, or whatever sends a letter to Duke University saying that miscreant Quentin Jacobsen broke into their facility at four-thirty in the morning with a wild-eyed lass at his side, Duke University will be mad, Also my parents will be mad(). Once all the pranking and plans are completed. Margo whispered not to close the doors- to much noise-so with the doors open, I put it in neutral, pushed off the cement with my foot, and the let the minivan roll down the driveway”().Īlthough Quentin knows he is not supposed to use the car without permission from his parents, he still takes the car in order to help and spend time with Margo. I slid out the window and we ran along the side of my house, heads down, until we opened the doors of the minivan. After he contemplates what he should do, Quentin agrees and they use his car for the night. She asks Quentin if they can use his car to travel the various destinations. When Margo asks Quentin to carry out her plans of revenge it takes a lot of courage for him to go with her. He is a shy and quiet individual who is introverted. The deeper he goes on this absurd path, the less he sees the girl he thinks he knows Selflessness is an admirable trait which Quentin Jacobsen possesses. The next day she disappears, but leaves clues for Quentin. Quentin accepts the challenge since he has been in love with her even since they were children. When Margo appears at his window in the middle of the night and climbs into his room, she challenges him to help her with a mysterious twelve part plan that will take all night. He is in love with his childhood best friend, and long-time neighbor, Margo Roth Spiegelman. Quentin Jacobsen is a seventeen year old senior in high school who is about to graduate. In the book Paper Towns by John Green the author allows the reader to do just that. I believe that Paper Towns is a book that allows the reader to get wrapped in to the mystery of things or idea of something, and still maintains an optimistic and light-hearted tone, in my opinion is a good book.
