I am alike to Janie for the reason that sometimes I complain about the little things. What is different on the other hand is that she states her complaints verbally while I on the other hand say them either in my head or I think before I speak. I believe that if Janie ever complained less or don't complain in the first place, she would achieve her goal of quitting her eating disorder or getting help with her health problems way earlier on before they began to be somewhat addictive.

How I felt today: I felt quite well today while reading my book due to the quiet workspace I accompanied myself in. I feel that I got a great read in today while in class due to how well I was able to understand the book and how the word format of the chapters I read.

Something that I have found to be different between Janie and I is that I do not get as angry as she does over eating food that's he does not like including vegetables. If I were in Janie's situation where I would have to eat something that I do not enjoy ( such as a cucumber, )  I would personally just suck it up and eat it rather than throwing a temper tantrum over some vegetable.

Janie heads the gym to work out and lose some weight after her frustration from everyone around her such as Royce, her parents, and Callie. She is greeted by a random male counselor who hands her a pair of boxing gloves without saying anything. Janie questioning why he was giving her the gloves takes them anyway as the counselor tells her to get some of her frustration out. Janie hestitanly starts to swing a few punches as she realizes that it feels good to hit things. Later on, she starts to head to the gym and punching bag day and night. She questions whether or not she would have started purging if it wasn't for the gym. An example from the text is, "I got Joe to take me back to the gym yesterday, and I had another session on the punching bag. Its like now that I realized that I'm mad, I just want to punch that thing morning, noon, and night. I pretend it's Dr. Pardy. I even pretend its my mom and dad. I wonder if Id have started sticking my finger down my throat if I'd known how good it felt to punch things. ( pg. 151 )

The tone of my book is definitely more on the suspenseful and angry side, but I think that the author has done a fantastic job with keeping the book interesting to read and easy to get drawn into for long periods of time. In my personal opinion, I think that the authors writing styles and message taken from the book, makes the book seem quite believable. In fact, I would not be very surprised if the story was true or based on real life events since the topic of eating disorders in this book are extremely accurate and realistic as far as I know.

An interesting topic that is mentioned exceptionally often in my book is the topic about eating disorders. The eating disorders that are mainly mentioned in my book are Anorexia and Bulimia. I know this for the reason that the people at the Golden Slopes are separated between either starvers or barfers. In my experience reading this book, I have learned that eating disorders are way more severe than I imagined. Any type of eating disorder affects a person physically, mentally, and emotionally. From Janie's perspective, her character, attitude, and the way that she treats her love ones changed tremendously once her eating disorder got worse over time. She began to be rude and come off as aggressive to her close family members and friends.

Janie has siblings such as her brother and two older sisters. I am corresponding towards Janie in this scene due to the fact that I have siblings as well. Nevertheless, I would not be comfortable speaking to my siblings or family members about such a heavy subject like an eating disorder and my journey and experience with the illness. I couldn't imagine how awkward and uncomfortable this is for someone like Janie.

I am very lucky in the sense that I have never gotten the news that a love one of mine has passed away yet. I couldn't imagine how Janie must feel knowing that a beloved friend of hers that she was also quite close to pass away from heart failure.

In this specific portion of my book, Janie enters Golden Globes, ( her eating disorder facility, ) as she does everyday. Little did she know, she was about to receive some very mournful news. A girl name named Helen who was a starver refused to eat any type of food for a long period of time. This sadly led to her passing away due to heart failure. Janie is in shock and doesn't know what to say. She all of a sudden gets the urge to purge and makes up an excuse as she run to the bathroom to purge in a sock. One of the counselors catches her. The counselor and Janie both share a conversation about Helen that was much more deep than both of them expected. Janie realizes the sad truth that not eating or digesting food can lead to miscellaneous  health issues including fatal causes such as death. This news hit Janie like a thousand knives and she questions whether or not she should quit the habit of purging after consuming food. "But I don't think that Helen wanted to die. Patients like Helen seem to have this almost...magical idea that they can do with their bodies as they please. it's almost like they reject the possibility that they'll die because they're so focused on staying in focused on how few calories they can put in their body each day." "But she must have known that if she didn't eat, she might die. How could she not?"

From my part, I believe that the author has done a great job with the use of dialogue, figurative language, and word choice. The author has successfully used these writing choices due to the amount of times I start to percept the book in a different way with the figurative language or wording that makes the story or whatever a portion of the story is explaining / describing much more complex. The author additionally uses many examples of personification, similes, and metaphors to further strengthen the context of the story.

This certain scene has a huge toll on Janie due to her becoming angry and aggressive towards her facility for not teaching her "anything." Janie had to spend 5 days straight in the facillity until she fesed up to breaking her oath to follow the rules. Janie ended up fessing up, but being sarcastic; resulting in her having to spend extra time in the Golden Slopes before returning home. Her parents cried the entire time; disappointed in her daughter for disobeying and not doing what she was told to do to help her on the path to a healthy life. She awaits to talk to her best friend Kelsey one more time on the phone before it gets taken away for a week. The plot was affected from this scene for the reason that we saw a side of Janie that is way more aggressive rather than calm. In the text, Janie says, "I'll just call Kelsey - she'll be thrilled to be able to speak to you." "I wish I could be so sure. As I'm waiting to see if Kelsey will come to the phone, I'm trying to get over the amazement that my mother actually told Mrs. Critelli the truth instead of some polite fiction for the sake of appearances. It's not like Mom to admit that All Is Not Perfect in the House of Ryman. Not like Mom at all." ( pg. 99 )

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout my book, Janie often mentions her healthy relationship and close bond with her best friend Kelsey. Kelsey is someone that Janie can always go to for advice, help, and just someone to talk to. Despite the fact that I have friends of my own that I can go to for most of the same reasons, I believe that a few of them are nowhere near as understanding and empathetic as Kelsey.

# data[].attributes.body
From my part, I am someone who does not really listen when people give me advice at first. In this sense, I am alike with Janie due to the fact that we both take advice, don't take it right away, and then learn to actually take that advice later in life.

Similar to Janie, I have also been to a wedding of someone who is close to me and have had a bad experience. Despite the fact that mine is definitely not as bad as Janies, mine definitely made me feel lonely for a bit. When I went to my older cousins wedding about 2 years ago, no one really seemed to talk to me which made me feel a bit sad but over the years I have come to realize that it was just because I was quiet and young.

# data[].attributes.body
During the occurrence of Janie's best friend's wedding, Janie ate a huge dinner consisting of steak, mashed potatoes, vegetables, etc. Not to mention that Janie was also drunk from underagedrinking before the wedding began to distract herself from wanting to run to the bathroom and throw up. and Due to Janie's unhealthy habit of purging her food after swallowing it, Janie cannot find bathroom and ends up just sitting back down at the table with the rest of the wedding guests. Janie begins to feel guilty and insecure from consuming so much food that she sticks her fingers down her throat, and not only purges, but purges all over Kelsey, ( Janie's best friend, )  and her white dress. Although Kelsey and her husband were devastated about the huge scene that Janie had just made, Kelsey and Danny feel very bad about Janie for having an illness and not telling anyone for such a long period of time. Janie gets very choked up and struggles to tell Kelsey the honest truth about her disorder but manages to get through with it. Janie feels relief that Kelsey was mad but also supportive of Janie getting the help thats he needs to. In the text, it exclaims, "Damn straight I don't understand! What would possess you to do something so incredibly stupid? I mean, Jesus, Janie. It's dangerous. You could ruin your teeth and esophagus. You could die."

So far, I would give my book an 8/10. I would personally not give my book a solid 10/10 due to the book not making me want to read it more and more. Although I wouldn't give my book a relatively high score, I would definitely recommend this book to anybody of any age. I would recommend this book towards a younger audience considering the valuable lesson and message that the book may be able to teach. Learning about eating disorders and the causes and effects that the illness can have on a person is quite a heavy topic, but it is good to know and learn about to be aware for the future and ho to prevent any kind of eating disorder from happening.

Janie throughout her secret purging made a promise to herself to keep it a secret. If I were ever to be in a similar situation as Janie, I would additionally be the kind of person to keep something so deep and personal to myself. Personally, I would keep it a secret for the reason that the word may spread from person to person and I would be known as something I would not want to be known as.

# data[].attributes.body
In my book, a kid the same age as Janie brags about his amount of body fat compared to all of the other starvers or pukers at the facility who are alarmingly skinny for there age. I personally do not relate to Royce because if I were in his situation, I would not be the kind of person to brag about weight to kids who obviously are insecure about how they look and what they go through to look a certain way.

# data[].attributes.body
One scene that I believed to describe Janie's experience with her eating disorder was when she began to have sudden flashbacks to when she was younger and had the urge to purge after eating so she wouldn't feel so guilty or so full after wards. Its almost like there was never really a period of time when the food she consumed was the "enemy." In the text, she exclaims, "When I was a little girl, was I like Harry, constantly running to Mom to beg for cookies? Was there a time when I could go to birthday parties and eat a slice of cake without feeling shameful, like I was doing something bad? Was I able to eat a bar of chocolate without hearing that critical voice in my head?"
( pg. 30 ) Going off of this piece of text, I as the reader can infer that this was not an issue that all of a sudden Janie started to develop, it has been opening for quite a long time as far as she remembers.

# data[].attributes.body
My prediction to what will occur next in my book is that Royce will continue to open up to the people at the facility about his personal life and his current issues. To Janie, Royce is somewhat of a nosy person who doesn't care to mind his own business or keep thoughts to himself. Once Janie shared her story about Missy and her purging in the bathroom before school, Royce brought up the courage to tell the group about how his mother frequently gets criticized by his father about her weight and eating habits. I believe that later in the story, he will begin to open up about other things other than just his mommy and daddy issues such as his eating disorder that he is quite confused about.

One way that I cannot relate to Janie is that I do not have parents that do not leave me alone at home sometimes if they ever have to go anywhere. I feel lots of sympathy for Janie and her family because they cannot leave her alone considering that she may harm herself.

I in particular do not relate to Janie because I do not encourage myself to throw my food back up after eating. I feel extremely bad for Janie but feel very thankful that I can eat without having any health issues to go with it.

The main conflict that is currently taking place in my book would have to be man vs. man between Janie and herself. Although she always has the urge to empty her stomach after eating, the facility that he is in helps her tremendously. As the summer comes around, Janie starts to get the urge to empty her stomach back again after she finishes dinner. Janie is doing everything that's he possible can to stop herself but eventually sticks her fingers down her throat and regrets it.

Janie, as well as around 50 other girls were forced to eat there entire plates of food before they left the table. The people that watch the girls eat are the inspectors that make sure the starvers or the pukers eat there whole meals without staring or puking. Janie is a puker which has caused her to have numerous health issues which is why she is in the facility. She usually feels great after eating but has the urge to empty the food out and throw it all up. She thinks she may be called "fat" or feel fat after eating. "It ends up causing plenty of friction between the bulimics and the anorexics, because well be sitting at the table ravenous, even for a gross Golden Slopes food, but were not allowed to start until every one of the eating disorder patients is present and whichever nurse is head of the eating police for that meal tells us we can begin. It ends up being like a gang war, except instead of Sharks and the Jets or the Bloods and the Crips, it's the Barfers and Starvers." ( pg. 6 )

A topic that I found to be apparent in my story that has changed the plot and the characters would have to be poetry. Poetry throughout the entire story affected the characters personalities into something more peculiar. What I noticed is that since Hazel reads so much, she is much more proper and precise with her word choice when she speaks. The book genre that she tends to red most often is poetry. Going off of Hazels word choices and comebacks she says with such big words, I can tell that poetry is the reason for that. Gus in this story, just like Hazel, talks back in a more efficient way than most people would. This proves my point considering that the two love to read.

# data[].attributes.body
The narrator throughout the story is told by Hazel Grace Lancaster in first person point of view. The narrator does seem to be believable due to how accurate the events and actions of people in my story can happen or occur. Going on from my story, I can tell my my writing that I definitely have more windows than mirrors. I suppose that I have more windows than mirrors considering that my life is certainly not as challenging or complicated as Hazels. Hazel has many health problems, does school usually online, little to no friends, likes to read, talks in a more serious and poetic manner, and dresses unlike me. These are just a few reasons why I can tell that me and Hazel are not very similar as people. As a reader, I can tell that if Hazel was real, I probably wouldn't be friends with her which I can tell just by how much her personality shines through.

In this scene, Hazel gets a frantic phone call from Gus regarding his boken g-tube that somehow broke at the gas station while Gus was trying to get cigarettes. Hazel without hesitation tries to get up but remembers that she must take her BiPAP off, connect herself to an oxygen tank, lift the tank into the cart, and put her shoes on and walk out the door. If Hazel forgot to plug her tube back in, she would have easily lost oxygen and risked the life of Gus and herself. Hazel has to do steps for her oxygen before she can do steps for others. ( pg. 243 )

What I believe to be the closest thing to conflict is Hazel thinking that Peter Van Houten ( her favorite author, ) will turn out to be a bad person. Hazel consistently throughout the day has voice in her head; making her think that Peter Van Houten may actually not be who she thinks he is.

In the scene while Hazel and Gus are dining  at dinner in Amsterdam, I noticed that I am similar to Hazel since I cannot speak Dutch. People that were Dutch in the restaurant tried to help Hazel understand by using simple hand gestures.

One window I noticed while I was reading was that Hazel liked to wear sun dresses. can't relate to Hazel in this specific scenario for the reason that I don't like to wear dresses.

While Hazel and Gus are on their plane ride to Amsterdam, they decide to watch 2 movies. I can't relate to the two of them in this situation because I instead like to listen to music while on plane rides.

Hazel was rushed to the hospital late at night due to her lungs being filled with liquid making it difficult for her to breathe. I cannot personally relate to what Hazel has gone through since I have not been rushed to the hospital multiple times before for such a traumatic reason.

Hazel gets rushed to the hospital like she is used to. She is told for what felt like the hundredth time that she had fluid filled inside of her lungs; making it hard for Hazel to breathe. Huge tubes and needles were jammed up inside of Hazel's arms which were draining the liquid out of her lungs. This scene relates to my annotation question due to Hazel being used to late night hospital trips. (pg. 116)

Currently in my book, The Fault In Our Stars, Gus and Hazel are about to leave on a trip to meet Peter Van Houten in Amsterdam. Gus planned this trip since he used it as his Make A Wish. I predict that Gus and Hazel are going to meet the author and find out that he will no longer be writing any books. I additionally predict that Hazel will be greatly disappointed considering that Peter Van Houten is Hazel's favorite author of all time.

How I felt reading today: I felt pretty good my book had the same on going event in this part of the story so it was hard to stay engaged for the most part.

In this scene Hazel tells Gus about how she does not want to be such a big part of his life. This is due to Hazel knowing that if she developed a strong bond with Gus, it is only going to make things worse since she knows thats he is going to die in the next few years. (pg. 72)

One reason why I cannot relate to Hazel is because she enjoys the sandwiches that Gus makes. The sandwiches that he makes consists of tomato and dutch cheese. To me, this sandwich would probably be something I would not enjoy.

Personally, I would highly recommend this book. This due to the incredible story line and visuals that the author has created in his writing. I would recommend this book to people my age and up since the story is some what mature. One reason why I do not like this book is because the author mentions books in this book. Most of the story so far is surrounded by this book that Hazel and Gus have traded and that makes this book a little less enjoyable to read in my opinion.

In a conversation between Gus and Hazel, Hazel mentioned how she declined her Make A Wish. A Make A Wish is a wish that can be granted to a kid with an illness. This had a huge impact on Hazel because by her receiving the wish invitation, she became more scared knowing she was dying. Although Hazel was not able to get her very own wish, Gus wanted use his on Hazel for her to go to Amsterdam to visit her favorite author. This made Hazel and Gus both highly overjoyed. (pg. 89)

I can relate to Hazel in this certain part of the story because she loves the orange tulips that Gus bought. I too really love flowers.

Hazel struggles to carry her tank up into the Waters house and down the stairs. Which results in her almost falling. Later, gus's father gives Hazel a helping hand leaving her very relieved but embarrassed. (pg. 55)

When Hazel got done with a class, she walked out to see her mom waiting by the curb in her car. Hazels mom had to get out of the car to help Hazel carry her tank into the car. This is ironic to my annotation question because she needs to do extra work in simple tasks such as entering a car. (pg. 8)

On Hazels birthday, she goes to the mall with one of her best friends to celebrate. I can connect with Hazel because I love going to the mall with my friends as well.

Hazel mentions while at dinner at Gus's house that she doesn't eat meat when his mom is cooking enchiladas. I do not connect with Hazel because I eat meat.

I cant relate to Hazel because of her explaining her life story at the support group. Hazel mentioned how she has blockage in her lungs which makes it difficult for her to breathe without her breathing tube.

# data[].attributes.body
I cant relate to Hazel due to the fact that she enjoys reading. In her free time she enjoys reading poetry and romance novels which for me I am the complete opposite.
