Our states’ department of education is under pressure to ban the novel “Paper Towns” by John Green. Critics of the book state that the book should not be taught in the classroom nor included in the library for individual checkout due to mature content. On the other hand, after reading, I believe that teachers should have the right to teach the novel when appropriate and students can read the book if they choose.

​ “It’s a paper town. I mean, look at it, Q: look at all those streets that turn in on themselves, all houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people, living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm.” (Green, p57) Quentin is also known as Q in the story, falls in love with his neighbor Margo after they take a late night trip to go and play pranks, getting revenge on old friends and break into SeaWorld, as Margo wanted.

Life is very complex and often hard to define. However, this challenge does not stop people from trying to sum up the meaning of life in one word.

Does Quentin Jacobsen actually know the real Margo Roth Spiegelman? Paper Towns, by John Green, writes a young adult fiction novel accompanied with mystery and suspense.

Paper Towns is a novel written by New York Times best-selli¬¬¬¬ng author John Green. Throughout the novel, Green goes through great lengths to show the characters great acts of friendship and adventure.

I read Paper Towns, by John Green. I really liked the book overall. It was written very well and he uses a lot of description in the characters to make them seem like they are in real life. John Green uses a lot of different literary terms. He uses Flashback in the beginning of the book, foreshadowing throughout, and metaphors.

The main character of Paper towns is Quentin Jacobsen. He is 18 years old, lives in Orlando, Florida, and is a senior about to graduate high school. He is a regular person in the beginning of the book with fears and isn't special in any way and he lives a very normal life, except for that he is madly obsessed about his lifetime neighbor, his childhood friend, and his lifelong crush, Margo Roth Spiegelman. Margo unlike Quentin, lives a very not normal life and her personality is the complete opposite of Quentin’s. Margo is brave, curious, confident, and is downright awesome. These attributes make Quentin feel like Margo is amazing and make him want to be with her. Nine years ago at the age of nine, Quentin and Margo find a dead body in Jefferson park, Quentin is scared of it and backs away while Margo on the other hand is curious and approaches it. Margo says that she can see that all the strings inside of the dead guy are broken. Then Quentin grabs her and they run home away from it. This shows that Quentin is a person that is easily scared and afraid of things, but he also really cares about the people he love. Then nine years later, Quentin Jacobsen is an average, unpopular student that is still afraid of things, while Margo Roth Spiegelman is one of the most popular girls in the whole school and is still courageous and brave. Quentin and Margo now hardly even talk to each other now until, One night, Margo goes to Quentin’s room and asks him if he wants to

In order for Quentin to find margo, he has to follow the clues until it leads him to a “paper town” which Margo referred to the night before she left, even though it didn’t seem like an actual place. Margo even said, “It’s a paper town...all those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the furniture to stay warm...Everyone demented with the mania of owning things...I’ve lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.” However, what Margo is saying here is more figurative than literal. For instance, when she goes to the “paper town” she isn't actually going to a town made of paper, she is

In Paper Towns, the setting sets the scene for the decisions the characters make and later regret. Jefferson Park was an element of Margo’s and Quentin’s childhood that they connected with happiness and freedom until Robert Joyner. As they stroll
