Quentin has a fairly typical reaction Margo, though, is more curious about the identity of the dead man than traumatized.
Their reactions to this discovery are very different, although they both leave the site equally quickly. Having established this, it gives us our first introduction to what the thematic concept of the novel is going to be: Quentin and Margo happen upon a dead man in a neighborhood park, the victim of an obvious suicide. Our first exposure to the world of the narrator is as a kid, where he tells us about Margo and himself as nine-year-old neighbors in a suburb of Orlando, Florida. Paper Towns starts up rather quickly, even given its overall short length. The book is told in the first person, past tense. These two modes occasionally overlap with each other, and begin to fuse together as the search for Margo occupies more and more of Quentin’s time. In the other, he develops and tries to bring closure and meaning to a social circle that consists mostly of his two friends, Ben and Radar. In one, he searches for an old childhood friend of his, Margo Roth Spiegelman, who has up and left town. It is a story about a high-school senior, Quentin “Q” Jacobsen, who finds himself finishing out his final year of school in two separate modes. Paper Towns is an adaptation of a young-adult novel written by John “The Fault in Our Stars” Green. After analyzing both versions of the story, we’ll arrive at a verdict between which medium is more successful at telling its story, and whether any disparity between the two can be reconciled in a way that doesn’t impeach the winning version. This will not be a review of the merits of either version of the story, but an essay on how each version of the story acquits itself within its medium. This will usually happen when the film part of this equation is released. Movie, we look at novels of any genre and compare them to their feature-film adaptation.
