Text to Self-The Fault In Our Stars
I'm reading the book The Fault in Our Star by John Green. You should read this book because it is very heartfelt and emotional, it is an inspiring love story. Some person who has read this book said "Filled with Staccato bursts of humor and tragedy"(-Jodi Picoult). So far I've read that Hazel Grace, the main character, has cancer. She is going through "depression" when really she just is accepting shes going to die. Hazel attends a support group and when she goes she meets a boy, named Augustus Waters, they hangout and fall in love. Augustus had cancer in his leg but they cut it off, so he technically is treated just went o support group with his friend Issac who is blind. Augustus wants a relationship with Hazel, and Hazel wants it too, but she sticks her ground to not because she doesn't want to hurt Augustus because she thinks she could die any second. Currently they are going to Amsterdam to visit Peter Van Houten, who is the author of their favorite book An Imperial Affliction.
Hazel Grace reminds me of myself because her middle name is Grace and so is mine. Another similarity we have is she is hooked on a book and reads it over and over, I can relate because I also have found a book of my strong liking that I read repeatedly. I can relate to Augustus because he is judged by some people in a bad way, even though in reality he is the opposite of what they think. I have also been judged even though they barley know anything about me and are wrong about me.
I wondered while I was reading why hazel grace would not get together with Augustus, now that I think about I don't blame her, she doesn't want to hurt him. If I were Hazel Grace I would do the same because I understand her reasoning, she knows that because she has cancer that affects people who love and who have relation with her. She thinks she will die soon so she doesn't want to fall in love when soon that love will be broken anyways. Hazel sees the pain she already gives to her parents and doesn't want to cause pain for anyone else. In what I have read so far, I have liked how the author has showed the characters emotions through these amazing words that sound and feel deep, like you can put yourself in that characters spot and connect and feel those emotions to really understand the characters situation. In this book it is more emotional and not familiar to me because I put my self in a cancer fighters position, I've never realized their thoughts and feelings about the people around them and their selves. Its like I'm switching places with someone who has cancer, I realize what they think about life, and its not what I expected. I like this book because it is like nothing else I have ever read, Its different and a change, changes are good.
