The Theorem Continues

     Living on the mansion was good and their only job was going to ask people questions that Hollis wanted them to ask.Lindsey taught Colin how to tell a proper a story. He called Katherine 19th to tell her that he loves her but it didn't went well and she just said that the decision taken was good and that he shouldn't call her more and then he started crying. Then Hassan went out with TOC, Lindsey and their friends to a taco place while Colin stayed home working on the theorem and the Hassan arrived he told him very exciting news. He had kissed Katrina (Friend of TOC and Lindsey) but Colin went crazy out of nowhere so they had a big fight and they didn't talk for a day until they talked about everything and Colin was mad because Hassan called TOC Colin while telling the story but at the end both said they are sorry and were best friends again. Then Lindsey and Colin were driving and she told him that she wanted to participate on the theorem with him and he accepted and so the theory started making sense since they added more variables to the formula like age, popularity, looks etc. The next day the went to the store and TOC invited Hassan and Colin to hunt with him Lindsey and his friends on the woods and they accepted. That night Hassan had a date with Katrina so Lindsey and Colin went to dinner together and then Lindsey wanted to show Colin how to shoot because she didn't want him to look bad on the weekend.

WHEN COLIN WAS BEING MEAN AT HASSAN

 "My theorem will tell the story. Each graph with a beginning and a middle and an end"(Green, 95)

      This quote is from when Lindsey was teaching Colin how to tell his stories so the listener would be interested she said his stories didn't had a plot and and there needs to be adventure and romance things that his stories dint had. Colin responded with this because the theorem is a representation of all his relationships and so even though he isn't that good with words and stories he would explain it all with he theorem and it would had all the elements to be good story.

"You can love someone so much, he thought. But you can never love people as much as you can miss them" (Green, 105)

     The quote is just after he talked with K19 and he was totally heart broken and since the book started he can't stop talking about her. And the quote is really sad because he is clearly not over her and she obviously is so over him. The quote was important because Green enhance the fact that he is struggling to forget her.

    We finally have the theorem which is really difficult to explain because it has many parts to it like variables to fill and fractions its actually a really elaborated theorem and i like how they explain it part by part so you understand how it works and how it came to be what it is. I absolutely loved when Lindsey invited Colin to dinner and wanted him to be prepared for the weekend and I am obsessed with them as a couple but clearly he is still in love with Katherine 19th and Lindsey has TOC. I hate him but i do think it was nice of him when he invited the boys to go hunting on the woods but i am 100 percent sure something bad will happened and everything will blow up. But i really like that they finally gave me a theorem even though it isn't the final its like the start of the final one.

 

WHEN TOC INVITED THEM HUNTING.

   

     

Staying In the Pink Mansion

After Colin had the idea of the theorem Lindsey's boyfriend arrived, who strangely is also named  Colin.Hassan decided they will call Lindsey's boyfriend TOC (The Other Colin) since he said Colin was the original. Then Lindsey's mother arrived and we learned that her name is Hollis Wells and that she owns the shop were Lindsey Wells worked and a factory in town who used to make textile stuff. When Lindsey told Hollis Colin was a prodigy she was totally fascinated and invited both to dinner. When they arrived Colin thought they got lost because they were entering to a gigantic pink mansion,but it was actually the Wells mansion. After they ate Hollis offered Hassan and Colin a job, they just needed to do random tasks on the factory, the shop or just doing some work at the town. They will be payed 500$ a week and so they accepted they will be living in the mansion.

WHEN COLIN SAW THE PINK MANSION.

"Oh, it's weird. It's like the poor man's thumb sucking,isn't   it? Anyway, I only do it in private" (Green, 66)

    The quote is interesting because she was bitting the inside of her thumb but that's not it but she said she only does that in private but she was with Colin so that's not private I think Lindsey is feeling                            really good around Colin.So good that she does "private" stuff around him. I ship them.

     "Colin backed away from the door then. It occurred to him that he'd never done anything else in his whole life. Anagramming;spitting back facts he'd learned in books; memorizing ninety-nine digits of an already known number; falling in love with the same nine letters over and over again: retyping and retyping and retyping. His only hope for originality was the Theorem" (Green, 92)

     This scene is from when Colin heard Lindsey and Hassan talking about how good Colin is at some stuff that people that aren't prodigies can't do so easily. And then he realised he had been doing things that had already being done and that the only chance to do something new something that matter he just wants to be someone who made something never has ever done before and for him the only way to do that is the Theorem.

    I like how the book is going but I would like more chemistry between Lindsey and Colin. I liked how the road trip took a turn when the decided to stay I was really impressed that Colin accepted. I don't know why but i am hating TOC I just want him to disappear he is so annoying although he hasn't appear a lot i just can't stand him. The way the book is written is like related to the fact that Colin is a prodigy and the theorem and I absolutely love that there are graphs and calculations on the pages it just makes it so much interesting. I do want to see if the Theorem works but I want it to be fast like I want like 2 chapters full of the Theorem but all at once. Since its a John Green book there will obviously be a gigantic plot twist that will make things difficult but it will still be brilliant. I want to continue reading just to know how the Theorem goes like the story is funny and interesting but the big plot of the story is the Theorem.

WAITING FOR THE THEOREM.

Road Trip to Nowhere

An Abundance of Katherines is a book written by John Green about a 17 year old named Colin Singleton who lives in Chicago with his parents. Colin is a prodigy who has been dumped by 19 Katherine's in all his life. His best friend is Hassan Harbish who is tired of hearing about his friend breakup every single time. Since this was the 19th time Colin has been dumped Hassan decides they will take a road trip with no destiny to help his friend get over this breakup. Colin belief there are 2 types of people in the world Dumpee's and Dumper's and that all Katherine's are Dumpers. While they traveled they notice a sign that said that the tomb of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was there and Colin always wondered about his assassination and he wondered what his body why his body will be in America so they decide to go. There they met the tour guide who's name was Lindsey Lee Wells a 17 year old paramedic in training. While Lindsey was guiding the boys to the tomb Colin fell and hit his head and while he was in the floor he came up with a very interesting theory about relationships and a formula that he believed that could determine who will be the Dumpee and the Dumper even though the two people haven't met the formula worked .The book is written in an interesting way since there are some words that are no exactly part of the vocabulary they are words invented by the characters and beside each word there is a number and at the bottom of the page you find what it means, its not always words it can be a detailed explanation of a brief thing its mention or sometimes graphs.

DUMPEE AND DUMPER BELIEF.

"Kafir, you have a very complicated problem with a very simple solution." (Green,11)

     Kafir is the Islamic statement of faith, in transliterated Arabic: there is no God but God. And this quote is from Hassan and since he is from that religion and Colin is an atheist he sometimes refers to him as Kafir. Hassan is talking about the break up and how it is complicated but that the solution can be so simple as just getting K19 (Katherine 19) out of his mind.

"But still, the thought lurked out there, just beyond the reach of his headlights: he'd been dumped. By a girl named Katherine. For the nineteenth time"(Green,15)

     I think the quote want's to make it clear that Colin is suffering because it's the 19th time it happens  and the fact that John Green is saying this exact same thing but in different words like 4 times it means it is something we have to remember.

     So far the book is good, its still giving back story and introducing the characters more so I think thats why right now it doesn't give major plots. I think it is really interesting that this book is not written by the perspective of the main character which is odd since all of John Green's books that i have read so far are telling the story from the view of the main character. The perspective doesn't bother me but still it feels weird since i am used to other type of writing but it is still clear that it is a John Green book because of the way he tells the story in such a fascinating way that makes you feel part of the story. I am excited to see what happens next i personally think that since Colin got dumped   19 times by Katherine's the book will have another love interest for Colin but I'm not sure if her name will be Katherine or something else maybe Lindsey..... if she becomes her love interest i would be happy because so far she seems a good person and id like to see them together.
