How do other characters in the story impact the main character?


The people surrounded by Quentin Jacobsen in Paper Town by John Green is an adventurous and daring,normality, care loving, strict, inspiration, and daring people. The adventurous and daring is Margo Roth spiegelman the strict is margo's parents who wanted nothing to do with her when they did find her, the care and loving would be Quentin's parents who support Quentin finding Margo and the normality is his best friends Ben, Radar ,and ben's girlfriend Lacey. The inspiration of the trip to Algoe, New York was a little peek of margo's life which in his eyes seemed a little dangerous and daring but fast with her dying young when he Radar, Ben and Lacey almost died when a cow was in the middle of the road and Quentin couldn't stop it from going straight when Ben jerked the minivan out of the way and saved their lives. It all started when Margo sneaked in to Quentin's bedroom window and asked for a favor little did he know that after that night he would be head over heels for Margo even more than he was before they went to Walmart at midnight, trespassing on one of the popular kids property and humiliating them with a picture to show the rest of the school, seeking revenge, going to the sunrise building to look over California and last but not least trespassing into seaworld. The next day Margo wasn't at school and hasn't attended prom nor graduation and that's when the clues came in to play. Radar Ben and Quentin went to margo's house and explored her bedroom and discovered that she liked Shakespeare, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Beatles and more she had a lot of cassette tapes and books people from their school wouldn't believe she read was interested to the back in the day kind of music and Quentin realized that they both had something in common. After receiving Margo's first clue Quentin discovered more in the poem she highlighted and found where she stayed for two nights and days before she left for Algoe, New York. Margo's impact on quentins life is teaching him that breaking into seaworld, seeking revenge on the people who betrayed you and made you feel insecure, and trespassing is ok when you got a reason and if you don't get caught. Quentin's parents support him in everything he does and let's him curse and do whatever he wants . Lastly his best friends Radar and Ben who are always there to give him a laugh they helped him find Margo with omnictionary a site that helps find people and locates where they are but the site didn't help as much as margo's clues. Margo's parents were worried when the same detective from when Margo went to Mississippi without telling her parents found her came , her parent this time decided that they didn't care what her next move would be and that this is not the first time she went missing and while she went to Algoe, New York they changed the locks .
