An Abundance of Katherines: An Important Line

On the back cover of An Abundance of Katherine's, it tells us that Colin is going to prove that there is a theory to discover the out come of any relationship. I recently just got to the part in the book where Colin thinks of the theory. He recently just remembered the breakup with the nineteenth Katherine and is thinking about what happened and why the relationship didn't work. After taking many things into consideration, he believes he has the answer. He makes a graph on the happiness with the relationships. He now believes that love can be graphed. A quote from the book is when Colin tells Hassan about what his belief is. It quotes, "Right. Because relationships are so predictable, right? Well, I'm finding a way to predict them. Take any two people, and even if they've never met each other, the formula will show who's going to break up with whom if they ever date, and approximately how long the relationship will last.
I haven't gotten very far in my book from after my quote, but I believe this will be very important later on. I believe Collin will meet many people on his journey and he will pair them up with another person.He will then predict how their relationship will go. Then he will compare his hypothesis to his test. I think he will be right most of the time but will eventually make a mistake. I think his mistake will frustrate him and will add conflict to the story.

An Abundance of Katherine's: Setting

I recently just started reading the book, An Abundance Of Katherines by John Green. The book so far is about a boy named Colin who is dumped by his girlfriend named Katherine. So, as of now Colin has been dumped by nineteen times, and all of the girls names were Katherine. So, Colin decides to go on a road trip with his best friend, Hassan to make himself feel better from his tragedy. He always tries to forget about Katherine but she is always on his mind. He is hoping he will forget about Katherine during this road trip.

  The setting first takes place in Chicago, where Colin lives with his parents. Later on the book takes place on the road when Colin is on his road trip. The landscape changes as Colin and Hassan travel further down south. They are used to very little landscape and a large city. But now they are surrounded by the country landscape of the south.  There are many times when Colin describes what it looked and felt like as he was driving. One part describes when he is in Tennessee. The book quotes, "The wind through the open windows dried their sweat without actually cooling them much, and Colin was wondering how could they get to a place with air-conditioning when he noticed a hand painted billboard towering above a field of cotton or corn or soybeans or something." (Green 27) This gives you an image of what it looks like on the road in the country. I can imagine what the road looks like because there are many highways like this close to were we live.
