Me and the Un-relatable Characters.

Hey guys,

I recently returned from a trip, and it was a really good experience. So, maybe i should be writing about my experiences from the trip, but I won't. Instead of it, I want to write about something I thought when I read Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Paper Towns. Speaking of it, I finally finished "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" by John Green and David Levithan.

The book was nice. Actually, I couldn't really make sense of it in the starting. Turned out, alternate chapters switched POV's between the two different Will Graysons. The story became interesting when the two Wills meet. 

On t the next book-

So, when I finished reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson, I started Paper Towns. It's a nice book, I like John Green's characters, they seem real. Quentin and Margo are interesting characters. I'm still reading the book, though I've finished 3/4th of it, already. 

Another book, I had read in January, but I felt like writing about-

Looking For Alaska is John Green's first book, but I read it after reading TFIOS. So, the reason I thought about it was that I was comparing myself to John Green's female protagonists. If anyone knows me, even slightly, they can tell that I am nothing like "Alaska Young", the female protagonist of Looking For Alaska, or like "Margo Roth Spiegelman" from Paper Towns, or even like "Jane" from Will Grayson, Will Grayson.

 I won't go as far as saying that I am not at all like "Hazel Grace Lancaster" from The Fault In Our Stars. Please don't take me as a narcissist, because I am not saying that I am like Hazel. But I am as obsessed with The Fault In Our Stars as she was with An Imperial Affliction, and I like metaphors as much as she did. I would go on and on about the more things we have in common, but I think you get the idea. 

Now, about Alaska and Margo. They are like "VERY" different from me. They are eccentric, outgoing, adventurous and insane. I mean, I am insane too, just a different kind of it. I am neither adventurous nor mysterious, and that was part of the reason that John Green's other books didn't appeal to me as much as TFIOS. I sure liked them, but not enough to be obsessed with them. 

On the other hand, Jane from Will Grayson, Will Grayson is different too. She has this quite extraordinary taste in music, that "I" don't. Infact, I like the songs that more than half the girls of my age like. Well, maybe that is not my field to be unique, and I am Okay with it. And, she's really intelligent too, in science and all. I on the other hand, prefer literature.

I always like characters I can relate to. Everyone does, actually. But for me, it is a kind of necessity to have relatable characters to love the story. I hope one day John Green creates a character like me (Yes, John Green, not any other author.), but I highly doubt it. After all, "The world is not a wish granting factory".

But, "Hope is the only thing stronger than fear".
