Importance Of Human Interaction In The Novel 'The Fault In Our Stars'

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.

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.

No matter how old you are, you might know what It feels like to lose a loved one.

The novel is an emotional roller coaster dealing with first loves, terminal illnesses, secrets, passion and trust.

Lauren Slater’s “Monkey Love,” opens up about Harry Harlow’s life and his experiences with love and the ways to ruin it(133). As a child he was interested about the animals at the zoo and particularly the orangutans he would see. Later on he began to wonder if the monkeys were able to similarly feel and express love. Also, if it was only a mere feeling that could be felt for only one person or if it could be transferred onto someone else. However, Harry Harlow's experiments were deadly and only his pure needs were met in the end. As a result of the experiments, monkey’s were raped, killed by one another, and babies were starved from the feeling of what love was. In the second video the babies were shown being taken from their mothers and put

At the time, it was said that love began as a feeding bond with the mother and applied by extension to other family members. Other theories claimed that humans and other social animals lived in organized societies simply to help with sexual contact. Starting in 1957, Harlow worked with rhesus monkeys. The reason behind why he chose this specific type of breed was because the monkeys that they were utilizing were more mature at birth than humans, but like human babies show a range of emotions and needed to be nursed.

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.

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.

Ms.Marker, (Question 2) I choose to read The fault In Our Stars by John Green. I bet you already had heard about this book before, so im just going to jump on my point. Most of the people who has read this book talks about the romance between Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters or who the death of Augustus affected them but what i'm going to write about is the strong friendship between Isaac and Augustus. When Augustus found out he had cancer rapidly spreading throughout his body, he knew sooner or later he was going to die. So he organized a pre·funeral and asked his blind best friend, Isaac, and girlfriend, Hazel, to speak in his funeral.

A four-time New York Times bestselling author once said, “Please think about your legacy, because you’re writing it every day.” Even though we all want to make a mark on the world, sometimes we fall into the trap of the routine of a typical day and basically “take a day off.” While reading this amazing novel you will realize you need to make the most of everyday and sprinkle positivity on the world.
