In the book Paper Towns by John Green, Margo Roth Spiegleman is a self-absorbed teenage girl who loves mysteries. Margo  never really asks questions she is more of a keep it to yourself girl.  She is antisocial and can be very self-centered at times she can also make you feel like you're being left out. She's a troubled girl they can sneak into parties and have drinks without anyone noticing. Margo is one of the most interesting characters that this book may contain because of how mysterious she really is, she can make you think things that aren't really happening in the book she just wants to manipulate anyone she can in anyway that she can. Margo acts as if she is in control of everything, she acts as if she were an adult. Sneaking into parties and having some underage drinks is something that only someone that is troubled may be doing. It can explain that she is troubled because if her parents let her do this or don't even know that she's doing it then there's something wrong with them. There possibly is something wrong with Margo if she is already doing all of this stuff at this young of an age. Margo is very antisocial and self-centered, you can tell that she is these things by the lack of friends. She doesn't really have anyone to lean on or talk to about things making her feel abandoned at times. In times of the book you can tell that Margo is feeling abandoned because of the way her parents are. They are not the warmest are most welcoming people you will meet.  Because of her parents being that way, she probably feels abandoned. Many times you can also tell the Margo feels as if she is being left out, she doesn't really talk to people and she doesn't really go out to any places with anyone else.  She likes to be by herself because she feels as if she doesn't belong she doesn't want to be with people that she doesn't like, or feel comfortable with. Margo wants to make people think that she is alone and that she doesn't want to be found which is why she doesn't tell anyone that she is leaving. But really, she does want to be found, why else would she leave the notes for Quentin to find?  She must've wanted someone to care for her, to be able to find her to be there for her. She wants someone by her side at all times. Maybe she left those notes to see if someone really did want her, what to see if Quentin really did like her.  In conclusion, Marco was one of the most well thought out characters I have ever read of.  She is so smart and she can make you think of anything. She's able to manipulate anyone, even us as readers. The way she manipulates us is by making us think that she doesn't want people to find her but really she does. Michael Spiegelman is really one of the most interesting characters that there are may ever be, she really is just one huge mystery.
