i am currently reading the book Paper Towns by John Green and I really like it. It's a book about a boy named Quinn who'sin love with hie next door neighbor, who is an adventurous and a very amusing person to be around at the same time. In the book this girl who's name is Margo goes missing for a while and it's basically a more modern love story with a lot of mystery blended in also. I will be talking about text to life similarities between characters and between the book's words in general. I can really relate to Quinn in many ways actually, and I think that Quinn is quite relatable to other people also.

 Quinn is relatable for the fact that he can't move on. What I mean by he can't move on is the fact that he's always stuck with Margo he can't stop thinking about Margo. Quinn has always been attracted to Margo ever since he was a little kid, and he is right now also. I think this is quite relatable in a different setting though. It's like when your grandparents pass away or someone in your family. It's that feeling that you can't let go of them. It's just such a strong bond n general and the fact of it breaking is hard. It's hard to  grasp this idea that you will never see them again or the fact that they are detached from you and the world.Quinn has that same exact feeling he's to attached to Margo and he can't let her go. It's just to difficult for him to do this, Margo is bascially his power source in a way.

Quinn also stresses the idea of desperation, you know how far is he willing to go just so he can see Margo again and bring her back home. Quinn is risking the fact of getting into trouble just for finding Margo. This shows how far will people go when they are deperate for someone they will do anything for them even if it includes getting out of their way for someone. It's relatable for the fact that if u want something you will do anything to get it. You ave to want it so bad, that it's all you think about and it happens to everyone with toys and more important stuff in general, like the same situation as Quinn.

In conclusion, Quinn is relatable because he can't move on and how far he goes with desperation. It reminds me of when I was when younger and I used to be so focused on only one mindset throughout. I hope Quinn can find Margo and finally be pleased with his life again.
