“What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.”Ģ. Q feels like he is inferior to Margo, so he admires her from afar and never really tries to connect with her or truly get to know or understand her, which is really unfortunate. He is infatuated with her, and sees her as an unattainable enigma, which is problematic for both him (and her) in so many ways. He idealises her to the point where he sees her as being more than human, as superior to himself and larger than life. Q believes that his miracle is Margo Roth Spiegelman… “the way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle… My miracle was Margo Roth Spiegelman.” Here are 5 (of the many) things we can learn from Paper Towns by John Green…ġ. One of my favourite things about the story is that it profoundly demonstrates some really complex lessons about the way we relate and connect to each other. Paper Towns is a story is about love, friendship and what it’s like to be young. One night they share an epic adventure, and the next day Margo disappears leaving obscure clues behind, and Q attempts to solve these clues - hoping that they will help him find Margo - which leads him on an adventure to find her with his friends. Paper Towns is the brilliant coming-of-age story of Quentin, who has been infatuated with his neighbour Margo Roth Spiegelman, forever. What We Can Learn From Paper Towns By John Green
