Paper Towns Foreshadow

Before Reading the Novel:
1. The pictures on the front cover of Paper Towns foreshadow the characters and plot. To exemplify, the picture is of a thumbtack being stuck into a blurred map.

There are several main characters of the novel. Two characters, however, recieve most attention throughout the story. These two characters are known as Margo Roth Spiegelman and Quentin Jacobson (also known as Q). Both of the characters are protagonists and are directly characterized. Margo has a love for literature and old records. She is one of the most popular girls at school and she has a very spontaneous and adventurous personality. She acts a certain way to please her popular friends, but she is secretly looking for something more. Margo is a very round and Quentin Jacobson on the other hand, is a thoughtful, kind, and careful boy who lives next door to Margo.

After their all-nighter full of revenge and adventure, Margo disappears. Q looks at the situation as his responsibility to find her. After weeks of connecting clues, Quentin begins to think about her with more complexity but is still not really thinking of her as a human being. As he gets closer to finding Margo, he realizizes that he isn't just looking for her, but he is looking for who she is. His complex mentality reconnects him to her, although not in the way he might have hoped. In the end, Q eventually finds a “paper town”, or a fake location mapmakers put on their map to make sure no one is copying their maps, called Algoe. This "paper town", however had been made into a real place, where Margo was hiding. He sees that he must leave the love of his life, even if it is the hardest thing he will ever do. They separate with a kiss and go down their distinct
