Colin Singleton In John Green's An Abundance Of Katherines

Inevitably, one will find that cultures are ignorant of other cultures customs. However, there are always a select few individuals who will withstand the time to understand the other cultures, but can never explain it to the oblivious, being that they are just that; oblivious. Yet, these masses are the wise. Rather than studying others, they live for themselves and experience their own society. One of the said few is Colin Singleton, the protagonist and of John Green’s novel An Abundance of Katherines. Colin is often referred to as a prodigy because of the knowledge he has filled himself with, but as the story progresses, Colin becomes wise; adventuring and facing the unknown.
