Hazel's Separation

I thought it was pretty cool how the book showed foreshadowing. When Gus started his movie before Hazel’s movie and then it’s like he knew what was going too happened before Hazel did. Just like he knew he had cancer before she did. He shows hazel that she doesn’t have to be in the house all the time because of her disease. Gus could care less if Hazel has cancer or not he just loves her so much because he can relate to her.

Hazel the main character faced problems and struggled in the book Watership Down. The first problem Hazel faced was deciding if he should leave the warren after Fiver predicted that bad things will come to the warren. Hazel decided to take some friends and leave the warren to find a new and maybe even better warren. The conflict is Hazel had to lead the group to find a new home. Hazel is the leader of their group and takes advice from Fiver. The rabbits struggle to travel through the woods as they faced predators and nearly got lost in the woods.. The rabbits found a field but due to it being a death trap Hazel decided to take the group away from the warren. Hazel and the others would face a big challenge and this actually leads to the climax..

In conclusion, Hazel Motes was just as crazy as everybody else that he encountered during the story. Not a single person contributed to his sanity, but each one of them helped make it worse. It was obvious that his ending was not going to be a happy one. Perhaps he felt that it was his time to go, not only because he didn’t want to be married to such lady, but also because his life was useless and he had no reason to

Augustus realizes that a lot of people let their cancer identify them, which it seems at first like Hazel does. Through the novel Augustus mentions multiple times how he wants his life to mean something other than cancer. “I fear that I won’t be able to give anything in exchange for my life. If you don’t live a life in service of a greater good, you’ve gotta

I enjoyed the novel’s open ending because of all the possibilities. Phoebe and Paul’s story continues after the truth is revealed to Norah. It is not a seamless transition into shared traditions and memories; they are strangers that happen to be related; Paul and Norah do not know what to expect and Phoebe is the glue that joins them together just as it once tore them apart. The ending was not some happily ever after but a promise for a better tomorrow and a chance to heal and grow. Edwards’ structure of the novel ended on a sentimental and beautiful note, quite literally, with the twins singing while visiting David Henry’s grave. Paul heals and realizes that he stopped being angry at his father and now he just misses him and all the opportunities

The author begins the story by informing the reader just how much Hazel was detached from her high school experience and affected not only by her grieving family over the deceased of her father, but as well as the thought of living in the shadows of her three older sisters. As stated in the story, “ She wanted the feeling that her life was a small thread in the huge tangle of the world and that nothing she did one way or another mattered all that much” (Ausubel 52). Additionally, Hazel is presented as more of a static character rather than dynamic. Throughout the story the reader is able to realize how little Hazel is unaffected by others.

After reading selections from Elizabeth and Hazel alongside essays about race and photography, I came across varies assumptions regarding either contemporary race relations in the United States or photography, in relation to Elizabeth and Hazel. In this essay I’ve decided to talk about the contemporary race relations in the United States in relation to Elizabeth and Hazel.

As Hazel first introduces herself she gives off a quite sophisticated but also depressed vibe. My first impression of Hazel was that she was a little too smart for a girl who hadn't been to school in three years. I soon learned that she took classes at the local community college. A couple weeks into support group Hazel meets her match and is instantly drawn to the intriguing character of Gus. I could immediately tell that gus and Hazel had a mutual attraction but a roadblock stood in the way, cancer. The relationship that soon developed between Hazel and gus is what intrigued myself, how they both were incredibly scared to hurt the other emotionally. They bonded over their overuse of symbols and metaphors. For example, how gus used the cigarettes as a metaphor… “It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing right between your teeth, but you dont give it the power to do its killing.” (Green, 20). I could immediately tell that Hazel has become immensely attracted to Augustus and they would soon become star

His meeting of Enoch Emory demonstrates his extremely low patience, even knowing that Enoch isn't completely right in the head. All Enoch tries to do is make a friend in Hazel because he feels as if he connects with him as both of them being outsiders. What Hazel does instead is use the poor boy to find the Hawks’ house and once he does he abandons him like nothing. This is another example of Hazel’s selfish disregard for other people. He doesn't care about anything or anyone so long as she gets what he's looking for, and he doesn't care what he does.

In conclusion, John Green uses the characters of Hazel and Augustus to portray the theme of ‘the necessity of suffering’. This novel has changed my perspective of terminal illnesses. Before reading the novel, I was not quite away of what it was like to live with an illness as severe as cancer, yet still carrying on with a normal lifestyle. Also, I was able to achieve insight about society’s view about cancer patients. Since Green has not ended the novel stating whether Hazel lives or dies, he stated in an interview that it was up to the readers to create Hazel’s ending with their imagination. I predict that Hazel will pass away. Her cancer was very severe and there were hints about Hazel becoming weaker. I would definitely recommend this book as it was an enjoyable, yet heart

Waters is determined throughout the story to know Hazel and form some kind of relationship with her, which makes him a stronger, clearer candidate for the main character. The novel revolves around Hazel’s life dealing with cancer, but Augustus finds his way into it as much as possible, which makes him an equally strong character. Green does not define a single character as being stronger or the main character, which gives the reader ideas to contemplate and debate. The story begins with Hazel and ends with her, but while Augustus is present he is just as important to the story as she

Hazel grace is a dynamic character because she changes throughout the story. In the beginning, Hazel doesn’t want to get close to Augustus, because she was afraid he is going to be shattered when she dies. But towards the ending, hazel finds out it doesn’t matter if you die in the middle of a relationship, it’s about the moments you spend together. A quote in the book, on page 214, “Only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn’t unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn’t want to.”

Hazel has a strong identity in the story, she has much self-confidence and is not afraid of letting everyone know that she is the best, “Now some people like to act like things come easy to them, won’t let on that they practice. Not me. I’ll high-prance down 34th street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong even if it does get my mother uptight.” p. 1 ll. 29-31. Thus her strong and proud personality, she still loves and protects Raymond and is not afraid of showing this either. At the end of the story Hazel’s view on other people changes, when she sees Raymond running parallel with her at the May Day race in his own unique style. She realizes that everyone is not just who she sees them to be, that there are more to people than you can

The ending of the book was very disappointing to me. I really enjoyed reading about how his mother was in pure denial and wanted to keep her son near her forever and how his father knew how hard it would be but he also knew that

The entire book revolves around a dying Hazel. Since the second sentence of the summary on the back of the book, the reads have prepared themselves for Hazel’s inevitable death. Augustus Waters, on the other hand, was perfectly healthy until the end of the book. Augustus was the twenty percent chance of dying, but Hazel was terminally alive. The sudden decline of Augustus’s health and subsequently death shocked the readers. The reader gets a unique look into the mind of a dying girl only for her to live, and the healthy person to die.
