19 Katherine's and One Lindsey

Lindsey is confused because she is not feeling sad about the breakup with TOC and she is just accepting it. Hassan, Colin and Lindsey went to Memphis to discover the reason why Hollis has been being so weird lately and going out a lot and they found out that the factory is in bankrupt but Hollis doesn't want to fire any of the people that work at the factory so she is selling land to sustain all the jobs which is very nice of her. Lindsey had mixed feeling she was happy because her mom was doing something amazing for people of Gutshot  but she was like feeling down because she was confuse with her emotions so then she went to her secret place. She lied to Hollis telling her she was going to sleep in a friends house but Colin knew were she was so he went to the secret place and they talked about how she didn't missed TOC at all and then he told her the full Katherine timeline and he felt relief after. Then they ended up together and it was amazing. Also Hassan applied for college so Colin was proud of him. The theorem was complete so Colin tried to see how his relationship with Lindsey could turn out and it said she would dump him in the 4th day of their relationship which turn out to not be true and Colin was happy because they were still together but sad because something was wrong with the formula. He had his second eureka moment by concluding by saying that the formula was not gonna be always right because future is unpredictable.



WHEN I FINISHED THE BOOK.

     "That's why those tapes we made are going toe so great one day, because they'll stories that time has swallowed up or distorted or whatever" (Green,202)

     The quote was about the tapes they record when they do jobs for Hollis, the tapes are about the people that live in Gutshot and they ended talking about this because Colin said that it doesn't matter because everyone will die and forget you and even people like Einstein will be forgotten and that time swallows every person every achievement but the last thing that will desapear are memories.

"And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened." (Green,208)

    When Colin finished his Katherine timeline he ended it with this statement which seems very interesting to me because it makes you really think a lot back of small things that maybe didn't actually really happened the way you remember but what you remember became what happened for you, I know it might be a little confusing but if you really think about it deeply it makes lots of sense.

      I finished the book and i did like like it is not one of my top 5 favourite but it was good. I really liked the last part of the book in which the author explains every part of the formula which was interesting because it is presented in notes and you feel like you are reading Colin's notes and it was a nice touch. The book ended good because i wanted Lindsey and Colin together but I was sad that the Hassan and Katrina thing didn't work out. I would recommend the book to people that really like math. One of my favourite thing about the whole book was at the end when he tells the hole Katherine timeline because he only talked about 3 Katherine's on the hole book and the other 16 weren't mention and they were just a number but when he talked about all of them we put a face to the number so it was amazing. Even though this book wasn't one of my favourites i still love John Green writing.

Pigs, Bees And A Fight

     The group went hunting after Lindsey taught Colin how to shoot properly. Hassan a Colin had an encounter with one of the pigs they were going to hunt and when it was about to attack them colin shot it but he didn't aim the pig he aim a tree that had bees and they were running for like 10 minuetes away from them but eventually the could run  away and when they were going back to the civilisation they recognise TOC and Katrina who was Hassan's new girlfriend kissing. Colin and Hassan approach them and TOC tried to explain but couldn't put an excuse so he just admitted that this has been going on for a while. Hassan immediately broke up with her. Colin was feeling bad for Lindsey when TOC told him that he shouldn't said anything to Lindsey or he will get hurt and when he was saying all these he started recording him. Then Lindsey, JATT and SOCT arrived with drinks and everything seemed good but then Colin couldn't handle it anymore and he played the recording of the confession and Lindsey just went away and TOC try to make her stay and grabbed her so she started screaming and JATT told TOC to let her go but he didn't so JATT went to kick him but TOC hit first and JATT was left on the floor but then Hass and Colin went to help but TOC hit first again and they were all down the Lindsey kicked TOC and he was on the floor. Lindsey went to help his friends and he whispered in "My Hero" to Colin.

WHEN TOC CHEATED
"Colin had to figure out what had gone wrong inside his brain, and fix it. He returned to the central question : how could he have completely forgotten dumping her?" (Green, 166)
     Colin wasn't working on the theorem that much in this part of the book but in the small time that he was we learned a gigantic thing from Colin's past that he even forgot. He had dumped K3 and he didn't remember, when he was working on the theorem it worked for 18 katherines except for K3 and so then he didn't remember how it ended so then he called her and she told him that he was the one who dumped her. This quote really makes me think that he has the mentality that he is the dumpee but maybe he is not always the dumpee like right know. He used to believe he was 100% dumpee which is not longer true.

"She's my friend. And if I were in her position, I'd expect her to tell me" (Green,174)

     The quote is from when TOC told them to keep their mouths shut or they will regret it. I like how Colin cares about Lindsey and he looks at her as a friend but I do think that part of the reason why he showed Lindsey the recording was because he is falling for her and he wanted to end their relationship although it was also because he wanted to make the right thing and the best part was that he didn't even care that TOC was going to hit him he just wanted to do the right thing.

     The book is fantastic it has every part of a John Green book that I love it has action, drama and love. It was weird at first that the book wasn't read in the point of view of the main character but now I am starting to like it. In this part of the book the theorem wasn't really talked about excepted for that one part so it makes me a little bit worried since the book is so close to an end and i just want to get a solid formula that works and that proves Colin's theory. I am excited to see what happens between Lindsey and Colin after this and if they will be together at the end or not i would absolutely love that.
