In The Fault in Our Star, Hazel is obsessed with a novel called An Imperial Affliction. An Imperial Affliction plays an important role in the novel and is symbolic in various ways, such as how it relates to Hazel’s own life. An Imperial Affliction is about a young girl named Anna, who has a rare type of blood cancer. The book ends mid-sentence because either Anna is too sick to write anymore or because she died. An Imperial Affliction plays an essential position in the novel and its plot. It is similar to Hazel’s life and Hazel, herself, is passionate about it and desires to know the ending to it. John Green, the author of The Fault in Our Stars, puts a metanovel in the book for several reasons. All in all, An Imperial Affliction plays a major role in the book, relates to Hazel’s life in numerous ways, and the author had countless reasons to place it within the book.

I think he put a novel within a novel because it is a symbol. An Imperial Affliction is a symbol in many ways and makes the readers think on a deeper level than people usually do. It questions the value of fiction and whether fiction has any true worth in reality. It makes readers think about the afterlife and whether people still live on afterwards. It is not a normal book about cancer, as Hazel says, and it tells about a real life not like normal cancer books. I also think he wrote a metanovel because it is also a metaphor and metaphors are a big theme in The Fault in Our Stars. It is a metaphor of how fiction can have a greater value. It also contributes to the theme of fiction versus reality and the healing power of fiction. It also plays an immense role in the novel’s plot. All in all, John Green puts a metanovel in the book because it allows people to think on a deeper level, contributes to various themes in the novel, and play a huge role in the novel’s
Jon Krakauer diverges from the story of McCandless’s journey, to inform the readers how all of the other adventures that occurred were similar. He wanted to show how other people were in his situation, that wanted to conquer the world with what the others had with them.
Miller writes the story in a very unique way. He gives his readers a chance to explore the words written on his pages, with the hope that the reader is able to draw their own conclusions from his work. His unparalleled approach to the essay forces the reader to use critical thinking in order to make since of the essay. Miller’s feelings about reading, writing and the
Having a family to rely on and be supported by is said to be the most important thing to have in life. No matter where you go, you should have loving family members who will support and help you without question, if they are ever needed to. In the novel, The Fault in our Stars, the theme of having loved ones and being close to family members is heavily leaned on through the actions of illnesses and loss. The novel shows the theme through the actions of Hazel, Augustus, and their parents. As expected, each character has their own style of expressing their emotions, feelings, and thoughts in their dark times.
Through this book the main plot is conflict. In our nature and as part of the Human Condition conflict is inevitable. Miller put the message across by using a historical event that was a dispute and which led to deaths. The book does not let the
People with cancer often begin to define themselves based on their experience with their illness, this self-definition through one’s cancer is one that the characters fear in John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars. The novel shows how the characters strive to discover their identities, but despite that are still identified by their illness. The novel also makes the argument that young people with cancer are not any more virtuous or different than other kids rather, they are just normal kids living with an illness. Augustus wants to be remembered and also be more than just a boy who battled cancer, but despite his efforts is still identified by his illness.
Hardships can bring two people together. This is the theme I got from reading Fault in our Stars Hazel had lung cancer, and Augustus had cancer in his leg. The first thing, that I think the author does to show how the hardship of having cancer brings the two teenagers, is when they first meet. No- it was not at school, a dance, a football game, or even a party. It was at a cancer support group. “A boy was staring at me. I was quite sure I’d never seen him before.” This is what Hazel said on page 8. This importance of this quote is that they would have never even met if it had not been for cancer and the hardships they went through to get them to being in the support group. This is how their love story started. Hazel caught Augustus
The Fault in our stars, John Green, Fiction The novel the fault in our stars was written by author John Green and published in 2012. Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar inspired the title of the book. The story is narrated by Hazel Grace, a 16-year-old girl who is diagnosed with cancer. One-day Hazel is obligated by her parents to attend a support group where she can meet new friends who are going through the same situation she is going through. That is where Hazel meets and falls in love with 17-year-oldAugustus Waters. As they become the best of friends Hazel shares her favorite book “An Imperial Affliction” with August. The book ended mid- sentence which led August to find the author. The author invited Hazel to Amsterdam to discuss the ending of the book. This is when their venture begins to truly find the meaning in life.
In “The Birthmark”, the relationships and behaviors of the characters play a significant role in the story by revealing more than the story itself does . Through the character’ different actions, characteristics, and behaviors, Nathaniel Hawthorne gives a deeper insight into his life, such as revealing his worldview to his readers, and also gives insight into a more relevant story. Hawthorne’s transcendentalist worldview is conveyed through Aylmer’s and Georgiana’s obsessions, Aylmer’s manipulation of nature, and the birthmark.
For now, I'll set aside considerations of why The Goal is a novel, how effective it is as a book, whether it succeeds as literature, and so on. This article is primarily about the ideas behind the book, and why some are valuable while others are probably quite useless.
No matter how old you are, you might know what It feels like to lose a loved one. Hazel Grace has never been anything but terminal, until she meets Augustus Waters, and that’s when her story is about to be completely rewritten. The novel is an emotional roller coaster dealing with first loves, terminal illnesses, secrets, passion and trust. In the novel, The Fault In Our Stars, Hazel Grace must go through what any person with a terminal disease must go through and beyond that: overcoming a terminal disease, love, and fear.
For this project, I decided to read “The Fault in Our Stars,” a novel written by John Green. This book is about 16 year old Hazel Grace, who is diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She attends weekly Cancer Support Group, where she meets Augustus Waters, a “very intelligent and hot” boy who is currently in remission. They both take a liking for each other, their relationship growing and developing throughout the book as they fight cancer together. Along the way, Hazel learns many important lessons about life.
Humans lives are always being impacted by others. Everyone leaves a mark on the world. The Fault in Our Stars, written by John Green, takes place in Indianapolis and in Amsterdam during the early years of the twenty-first century. The book is about Hazel, a seventeen year old, who has a life full of cancer. She meets Augustus Waters in Support Group and her life completely changes. Augustus and Hazel fall deeply in love with each other throughout the story and adventure to Amsterdam. People endure many hardships throughout the book.(one sentence here that hints at scars or pain). (Augustus says,) “The marks humans leave are so often scars. How do people receive “scars” throughout the book? People receives “scars” throughout The Fault in Our Stars, because Augustus impacts Hazel, Caroline affects Hazel, and Hazel’s mom changes Hazel.
In his novel, The Fault in Our Stars, John Green successfully creates a realistic yet tragic love story between two teenagers fighting a common battle against cancer. The Fault in Our Stars utilizes foreshadowing, dreams, and death to make this novel one-of-a-kind. Unlike many novels based on teenagers with cancer, the cancer stricken teen herself, Hazel Lancaster, narrates the story. Only 16-years-old, Hazel is forced to drag an oxygen tank around with her to breath, due to her incapable lungs.
The two main places that involve the two main characters, Hazel and Gus, were Amsterdam and Indianapolis. Hazel was scared that she will one day hurt the ones who love her when she would one day die from her lung cancer. When Hazel had to go to the emergency room that one time because of fluids in her lungs, Augustus was scared Hazel might die. Then as we learn towards the end of the novel, Hazel ends up being scared of Augustus dying when his cancer came back. Hazel was angry when Augustus died besides being very upset. They were disappointed and Hazel got angry when they saw who Peter Van Houten really was. They both felt like they were cancer victims, but they made the best of it with each other by going to Amsterdam and other events. They had many safe times such as when they were at the Support Group and Amsterdam because there were no health related emergencies and they had a good time together. The dangerous times is when Hazel had to go to the emergency room due to fluids in her lungs and when Augustus got his cancer back.
The Fault in Our Stars depicts Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer. The book chronicles her relationship with Augustus Waters, who has also been diagnosed with cancer. Throughout the novel, Hazel constantly struggles with her identity in relation to her disease. She is conflicted whether to accept the prescribed image society has of her or to embrace her true inner self. Through a period of self-realization, she eventually comes to terms with and redefines her identity. Although society may define an individual’s self-image, The Fault in Our Stars demonstrates that identity is defined by the inner self, rather than external forces; in turn, that self-perception deeply impacts one’s perspective on life.
