The new book that I started reading is called Paper Towns. My cousin recommended it to me because she really liked it and so far it is really good in just the first chapter. The author starts off by describing the main character Margo Roth Spiegelman from the point of view of Quentin. Quentin and Margo have known each other since they were two years old. Quentin has always had a crush on Margo. They use to play all the time when they were little up to the age of 9. They pretty much stopped playing then due a experience they had one day at the park when they were riding there bikes and saw a dead man. Quentin didn't really get affected by it since both his parents are therapists he got all the help he needed so it wouldn't hit him hard. As for Margo it didn't effect her either but she wanted to get more in depth and investigate what happened. Quentin has always known that Margo loves mystery's .
1) What was your personal reaction to this reading selection?
I was really shocked on how it started right away with these two kids finding a dead body. I thought it was going to effect them in some way later on but it didn't.
2) What do you believe the author’s intent was, and what patterns of organization did you observe?
I think the author used chronological order from the beginning since these two characters meet each other and there experience to the present when they are teenagers. He wanted the reader to know everything that happened in the right order.
