Not wanting to be found by some kids in Jefferson Park isn't the same thing as not wanting to die." I can hear her saying to me, 'I don't want some kids to find me swarmed with flies on a Saturday morning in Jefferson Park. Waar is Margo Roth SpiegelmanNegen jaar oud zijn ze en onafscheidelijk - Q (Quentin) en Margo Roth Spiegelman - als ze in het. I can here Margo that night as we drove around Orlando. I know all at once that this isn't funny, that this hasn't been prove-to-me-you're-good-enough-to-hang-out-with-me. "As soon as the car stopped, my nose and mouth were flooded with the rancid smell of death.
It was a lame string, for sure, but it was the one I had left, and every paper girl needs at least one string, right?"Īlso, when Quentin, Radar and Ben go to the abandoned building for the first time in the book, they find a dead raccoon, but first they smell it, and there's a palpable fear that it could be Margo: But in the book she does, referring to her boyfriend cheating on her she says her own last string broke:
JOHN GREEN PAPER TOWNS MOVIE
It happens because of a few key plot points the movie left out.įirst, although Margo and Quentin still find the the dead guy at the beginning as kids and she says "all the strings in him broke," she never repeats that as a teenager.

This is really the biggest change, and it's not so much to the plot as it is a tonal change. They never really think Margo could have committed suicide
She invites him to come with her but doesn't say where, and when he tells her to call her sister, Margo says they talk everyday. The two get milkshakes together, duke it out over everything. Eventually he heads over to the real town near Agloe, and spots Margo after he's bought a bus ticket back to Orlando. The crew waits for awhile and eventually leaves without Quentin, who is determined to wait for her for longer. The two kiss and promise to stay in touch. He convinces her to call her parents to tell them she's OK, and she tries to convince him to move to New York City with her. Then they all confront her about her disappearance, Margo is kind of (read: really) mean to Lacey, everyone leaves except Quentin, and then the two duke it out over everything, including his obsession with her and idealization of her (they end up staying the night). In the book when the crew gets to Agloe, finally, they find Margo sitting in an office chair in a barn, writing in a journal and sporting a new haircut.
