Я не могу понять уже 2 часа. Какая третья форма глагола "awake"??? Awoken, awokened или awoke?! Если что: разница между wake и awake:
Awake – гораздо более торжественное слово, нежели wake (up). Бывает, что в художественной литературе оно тоже используется в значении «заставить кого-то пробудиться ото сна» (прямо как wake/wake up!), но в обычной речи awake касается лишь эмоций. Например: Его поведение пробудило (awoke) в нас подозрение.

In love with a neighbor who has run away from home, a high school student is looking for a girl in the footsteps that she left. Having found her, the guy learns that the neighbor did not want to be found.

Still from the film "Paper Cities" (2015)

The story in the first two parts of the novel comes from the perspective of a high school student Quentin Jacobsen. The last part is written in the third person.

Prologue

Quentin Jacobsen's parents moved to Orlando, Florida when the boy was two years old. They made friends with the neighbors, and Quentin sometimes played with their daughter Margot. When the children were nine years old, they found the corpse of a man on the playground - he was sitting under a huge oak tree in a pool of his own blood.

Quentin's parents, psychotherapists, called emergency services, but his son was forbidden to look at the cars. Margot knocked on Quentin's window that night. She investigated and learned that the deceased's name was Robert Joyner. He was a thirty-six-year-old lawyer and killed himself because his wife left him.

Margot was very excited. She was a rock that Joyner had "all the threads in his soul broke," so he killed himself. This childhood memory is cut off by Quentin when Margot asks to close the window, and then they look at each other through the glass for a long time. The neighbor became a mystery girl for him.

Part 1.

Strings

Time has passed. Quentin was finishing his senior year. He had not communicated with Margot Roth Spiegelman for a long time - the girl had her own company, in which losers and nerds were not accepted.

Quentin had two best friends. Ben Starling was called Bloody Ben by everyone. Due to a kidney infection, he had blood in his urine, but Becca Errington, Margot's best friend, started gossip around school that Ben was constantly masturbating, and therefore urinated with blood. Now the girls shied away from Ben, and he could not find a companion for the prom he dreamed of going to.

Quentin's second friend, a tall black guy named Radar, a computer-obsessed creator of an online encyclopedia - Multipedia, was embarrassed by his parents, who owned the world's largest collection of black Santa Clauses. The whole house was filled with figures of black Santa, and Radar could not bring his girlfriend there.

Quentin's last girlfriend left him for a baseball player, and he had no one to go to prom, and he was not drawn to this event. He was a calm and intelligent guy, studied well and prepared for college. He considered Margot Roth Spiegelman perfect and admired her from afar. Quentin had no real chance - Margot was dating Jace Worthington, the coolest guy in school.

Margot was a legendary person. She was not afraid of anything and ran away from home many times. Each time, her parents searched for her with the police across the country.

One night, Margot came to Quentin's. Jace cheated on her with Becca, and the girl decided to take revenge on them, but her parents took the car key from her. She wanted Quentin to help her, and he agreed.

Today, dear, we will compensate for a lot of the evil done by others, and we ourselves will inflict some harm on these others. The first will be the last, the last will be the first, and the meek will inherit a little land.

After purchasing everything they needed, they set off to carry out Margot's eleven-point plan.

The first thing Margot did was find Jace's car, put a lock on the steering wheel, and took the key with her. They then went to Becca's and told her father by phone that his daughter was currently having sex with Jace in the basement of their house. When half-naked Jace jumped out of the basement window, Quentin managed to photograph him. Sneaking into the basement, they stole Jace's clothes, left a carcass of raw fish in the closet, and Margot inked the letter "M" on the wall.

Putting a bouquet of tulips on the porch of her friend, whom she undeservedly offended, Margot went to Jace and threw the second fish through his bedroom window. The third fish went to Lacey Pemberton, who

did not warn her friend about the betrayal - Margot put her under the seat of her ex-girlfriend's car.

The ninth point was a respite in the business center, where the familiar security guard Margot let them in. They looked at the city from the 25th floor. Quentin liked the city, but Margot thought it was fake, as if it had been cut out of paper.
