Paper Towns is a bestselling novel by John Green.  It is about a boy named Quentin Jacobsen who follows a mysterious path of clues and hints to track down his neighbor, Margo Roth Spiegelman.  Margo is a girl that is super adventurous, and lives a seemingly exciting life.  The night before she leaves, Quentin and Margo take it upon themselves to embark on a midnight adventure to go out and pull pranks.  From the adult perspective, these YA characters would be seen as being reckless/rebellious--which was one of the data responses received from my surveys.  But, from the young adult perspective, these characters would be seen as being wild/crazy--which definitely has more of a YA tone do it.  Now, if the midnight adventures would have been described by an adult, the tone and feel of the adventures overall would be entirely different.  This would have not had the same effect for the young adult readers going on this adventure with them.  It would almost sound like a lecture to them instead of a fun-filled night.  Another conclusion that I came to find form my data was that some YA literature looks to defy or stretch stereotypes young adults have for themselves.  For example, the main characters of the story are not ones that would be labeled as an athletic bunch.  This is interesting because the biggest response received from the young adult was "athletic."  I have concluded that YA literature not only looks to draw the readers in with relatable characters, but it also looks to break down the stereotypes such as jocks being the only fun or "cool" people in the school.  By the end of the novel, the nonathletic people are the ones taking over the school and throwing the parties. This depiction emphasizes that just because you're not athletic doesn't mean you don't have positive qualities about you.
