Essay on The Fault In Our Stars is a Novel by author John Green

Firstly, within the novel, it is clear that Hazel is a caring person and is fully aware of what her body’s condition does to her

Joy Harjo’s “Remember” seems at first to be a simple plea from an unidentified speaker that the listener (standing in for all people) “remember.” “Remember you are this universe and this / universe is you” (lines 21-22), says the speaker. Throughout the poem, the speaker tells the listener to remember sixteen times; “remember” is an anaphora, a repetitive command by the speaker that seems to indicate that “remembering” is what the poem is about. Look deeper, though, and the poem seems to be about the interconnectedness of all things, and understanding that people, nature (plants and animals), the earth and sky, and the universe are all connected and related to each other. Look even deeper, though, and the essence of the poem becomes obvious:

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

Hazel Grace. An average teenager except she has caner. She is hooked up to an oxygen tank to help her breath. She is told by her mom to go to a support group and so one day she did. While at support group she meets Augustus Waters who is there to support his friend Isaac who is bline in one eye and is going in for surgery soon for the other eye and then he will be completely blind. After support group while outside Augustus approaches her and ashes her is she wanted to come over and watch a movie. Augustus had his leg amputated due to his cancer which now he is cancer free. Hazel and Augustus were talking about their favorite novels and then Hazel introduced Gus to "An Imperial Afflcition" and Gus introduced Hazel to "The Prince of Dawn."

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

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.”

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.

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

Life works in mysterious ways, the death of a love one can be hard but overcoming all these obstacles for your one true love would be worth it at the end. The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of Hazel Grace and Augusts Waters in her point of view. Hazel is a 16-year-old girl who spends her time watching shows, including her favorite show Americas Next Top Model. Dealing with thyroid cancer Hazel has always been isolated and keeps to herself she knows and understands she has cancer that’s her way of life and living. Augustus is a 17- year- old boy that loves to play video games, and is very charming. Augustus got his leg amputated due to cancer, but that does not stop him. A Walk to Remember shows Landon Carter perspective of Jamie

Augustus makes an impact on Hazel’s life. Augustus and Hazel meet at Support Group and grow a close bond. Augustus and Hazel fall deeply in love throughout the story. When Augustus’ cancer sprung up again, he asked Hazel to write him an eulogy. In Hazel’s eulogy she says, “My name is Hazel. Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life. Ours was an epic love story, and I won’t be able to get more than a sentence into it without disappearing into a puddle of tears”(Green 259). This shows that when Augustus dies he will leave a (mental) scar on Hazel, because Hazel will deeply miss Augustus when he dies. Augustus transformed Hazel

The novel begins when Hazel is going to a cancer support group because her mother thinks she is depressed. During the support group meeting, she meets a handsome boy named Augustus Waters who suffered from osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, although is also is

The book revolves around 16 year old Hazel Grace Lancaster, and 17 year old Augustus Waters. Hazel doesn’t lead an ordinary teenage life, she suffers of lung cancer. After a long time of struggling with her illness, her parents decide that

At first, Hazel and Gus were merely acquaintances. In the first chapter, where they meet, Hazel is only mildly interested in Augustus’ “metaphoric resonances”. When he puts a cigarette into his mouth, Hazel is thoroughly disgusted and she feels that “there is always a harmatia”, which shows that she is repulsed by his behaviour upon their first meeting. As the plot develops, they become much closer friends, as seen from Augustus regularly inviting her to his house and finding common interests in her book, talking about the book and often quoting from the book in their conversations, for instance: ‘Augustus nodded at

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.
