The most important line from a chapter is… (and explain why it is important and how the plot develops from that line)

     The book I just finished reading was Paper Towns by John Green. It is about a girl named Margo Roth Spiegelman who has peeked the interest of Quentin Jacobsen ever since they were little and discovered the body of the dead man. Margo and Q never really speak anymore, until one night when she knocks on his window. They end up have the craziest night of Q's life, running all around town and getting revenge on the people who hurt them most. All is good in his world, until Margo goes missing the next morning. But she didn't just disappear without a trace, she left clues. And those clues were left for Quentin. With the help of his friends, Q goes on a journey to find who and where Margo Roth Spiegelman is.
     The most important line from a chapter is, "Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe  she loved mysteries so much she became one," (Green, 8) This is the most important line in the chapter because it really sets the tone for how the rest of the novel is going to go. The audience knows that Margo is to be considered a mystery, and nothing more. I believe that this line is the line that develops the plot for the rest of the book because now the audience knows that she is a mystery. So you that Margo is going to be a major influence on how the characters behave and react.
