I was thinking

There aren't many authors that actually make me think, or better yet, there arent many modern authors who make me think. John Green, however, is one of the few modern authors whose words can actually move me to tears.
He is the author of books like Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns. I think I find his books so moving simply because, yes they are geared toward teenagers, but they also have a deeper meaning behind them. In Looking For Alaska a boy named Pudge meets a girl who goes by the name Alaska. This girl changed his life forever. It's sort of the same effect his books have on me. I go into them thinking a certain way, but when I'm finished, I think something completely different. They change your perspective on things, not in a really significant way, but they change your perspective enough.
He writes stories about kids who aren't popular, kids who aren't super cool, kids who deal with real problems. That is the reason I find him so fascinating. His books are about plain kids, yet he manages to make the books interesting, he makes the messages in the book profound. And that's why he is my favorite author. No, he doesn't write books like The Great Gatsby, or like The House of the Spirits, or basically any other book you'd read typically read in English class (don't get me wrong, those are the kinds of books that I love. High school English classes are like Heaven for me with all of those types of books we read) but I still manage to find his books moving, and that's enough for me. It's odd that I, the girl who reads shakespeare and whose favorite book is The Great Gatsby, would find books like that moving, but John Green writes in a way that is hard to not find moving.
