Persuasive Essay On The Fault In Our Stars

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.

In the months, weeks, and eventually days leading up to my flight to Germany the panic was gnawing away at me. Despite the fact that this wasn’t the first time I was venturing out without my parents or even my first time on a plane, it was my first time for a myriad of other experiences in my life. My first international adventure, my first time living with a family that wasn’t my own, and my first time being surrounded by people speaking a different language; all of which began with a simple decision to cross the threshold between the jet bridge and the plane.

Ponyboy and Johnny did make the right decision by running away after killing Bob with a switchblade. I am on this side because many bad things could have happened if they would have stayed. If they did stay they would have gotten more hurt, they would have gone to jail, and the authority favors the Socs over the greasers. Even though they could get in more trouble when they get back because they hid, it is more likely that they won’t. I think that both ways will turn out bad for both of them, but I think that running away will be best.

Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is a question that children get asked quite frequently. Most of the time, a child aims big and chooses an extravagant career, like an astronaut, a police officer, or a doctor. Obviously, it is impossible for a child to obtain one of those jobs at such a young age. However, acting in Hollywood is a possible career for a child. If a child is talented enough to be a star, then why not let them pursue their passion? While the life of being an actor in Hollywood seems like a dream to most children, fame comes with many terrible obstacles for some stars. Over the years, there has been a large debate on whether or not acting in Hollywood as a child is as picture-perfect as it seems. Hollywood is filled with tons of secrets. Why should a child be put into such an untrustworthy environment? Acting in Hollywood is in no way safe for children.

Skeptical about the hype around The Fault in Our Stars? Well I was too. Partially because these coming-of-age novels always manage to poke fun at my comparably uneventful and boy-less life. However this book spread like wildfire, engulfing victim after victim till even the cynical book readers I knew were infected. It imprisoned them, hands cuffed to this book till the turning of pages blurred before my eyes. Soon I became hostage by this book as well. To my surprise, John Green creates a cleverly crafted story that explores the life changing, funny, and tragic effects of being alive and in love.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them.
