E- in addition, another good lesson the author gives is,  " When did we see each other face to face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. before that , we were just looking at ideas of each other , like looking at your window shade bit never seeing inside."(302)
A- From this quote , John Green's lesson was in order to truly understand someone , one must see that person for who they really are ,showing that person their flaws and unique traits. The conclusion one can draw from this is that freshman should read this book because the messages John Green give the reader can help them later in life when trying to walk in someone else's shoes.
T-  The lessons in Paper Towns are helpful and important messages a freshmen can learn from because later in life they would not create ideas of other people before getting to know them and they would realize that plans don't always go accordingly, making this a good book for freshmen to read.
