A remark that stood out to me was when Gus said that life was a never ending roller coaster. This holds true for everyone because there are constant highs and lows, and no matter what, we all manage to get through them one way or another.

# data[].attributes.body
This book was an emotional roller coaster that I simply did not want to get off of. From my love of the movie, to the my love of the book, I feel unfazed to the obstacles that life will throw at me, just like Hazel.

Hazel experiences xenophobia towards cancer because of her immense hatred for the foreign virus that plagues her body and limits her from living a happy life.

Some people may tunnel their own path
Others must wait to see what is in store
It shall be lived in happiness rather than wrath.
Either way, life must not be lived a bore

Hazel
How'd you cope with Gus' death? - To know her feelings after his death.
Would you give your life for his? -
Does she feel he is that important
Did you expect for you to die before him? - Did she expect for herself to die before him
Have you seen any signs of his presence after his death? - Many would like to think their deceased loved ones are watching them
Would you visit Amsterdam again?- since it is the place where everything went down the hole, does she feel she would feel comfortable going there again
Why do you think this played out the way it did? - why does she feel this had to happen to her

Why John Green wrote The Fault in the Stars
1. He sympathized for those with cancer.
2. He talked to alot of oncologists and read alot about the disease to better understand the medical problems associated with the thyroid cancer.
3. Hazel is based on a friend of John Green's that died from thyroid cancer.
4. Wanted to show those with a disability/disease aren't defined by their disability/disease.
5. Wanted to address the social stigma associated with those that get negative looks and opinions.
6. Wanted to show that everyone is capable of love and that they have desires just like everybody else.
7. Show that miracles can occur despite other definitions of boundaries.
8. He needed to honor Esther (The real Hazel) because of the strong connection he and others had with her.
9. Show that depression can be lived without and overcome through love.
10.Even though he has a huge audience, the person he wants to read it most never will, but the fact that it is solely dedicated to her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a66clRobKI - I Fall Apart by Post Malone - the breakup that Post Malone describes, can be a song that Hazel could use to reminisce about the death/separation from her best friend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzB1VGEGcSU - Lucid Dreams by Juice Wrld "I still see your shadows in my room" could connect with Hazel because of her loss of Gus.

"Whoa whoa, I just lost her...... need a bartender to put me out of my sorrows." The presence of drugs and alcohol are defined in The Fault in our Stars, and we could definitely see Hazel possibly using these forms of self medication to numb her depression.

"reached up for a bottle of Scotch, and poured a glass half full. She carried it to him. Peter Van Houten took a sip, then sat up straight in his chair. 'A drink this good deserves one's best posture' he said." (Page 184) This appeals to my senses because I can almost imagine someone pouring a glass of Scotch, and the strong smell of the Scotch makes my nose flare. The illustration of an author sitting up straight excited to speak also grabs my attention.

The resolution within the conflict of my book ends with Gus dying however we can furthermore base the conflict solely on Hazel. She continues to live her life and take the words and attitude she attributed from Gus to keep pushing forward despite having cancer.

# data[].attributes.body
"It's a metaphor" (Page 21) is my favorite quote because in this Gus describes how as long as you don't give the cigarette the power to kill you, it is harmless. Which further displays another theme that somethings can be preventable, however in Hazel's case her struggle with breathing is unavoidable. This is in place to almost signify how people are excersizing the behavior that can lead to the symptoms that Hazel faces.

Hazel Grace is the protagonist because the story is told from her point of view and the antagonist (cancer) is trying to bring her down. Traits that conflict with the cancer is her will to live which is sparked by the other protagonist (Gus) who shows Hazel that their is a way to enjoy life despite the challenges she faces due to her cancer.

# data[].attributes.body
A book I could relate this to is The Hunger Games, as I previously mentioned, the fact that their is an unknown of whether those close to you will face death or not is a common theme throughout both novels.

First person point view and it is told from Hazel's point of view.

I once had a friend who was very sick due to a tumor. I was able to make a connection because both Gus and Hazel had to deal with the fact that either one of them could die at anytime due to their illnesses, and I felt the same way about my friend; the unknowing of what would happen in the future dwelled in my mind.

The lesson taught throughout "The Fault in our Stars" is, Do not take things for granted and to appreciate everything given.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Gus have to die? - He developed cancer again and we can almost assume that it was mean't to happen so that the other protagonist wouldn't die.

What was the affect of Gus' presence on Hazel? - She began to appreciate life more, because in the beginning she had no hope of surviving and she didn't have a will to live, but after meeting him, she realized that you can still enjoy life even with the hardships she faced.

How would Hazel have lived life had she not met Augustus? - The stress and furthermore the absence of will to live most likely would've led to her demise, but instead she was able to pull through despite her challenges she faced.

The book, "The Fault in our Stars" is a thrilling book that has highs and lows throughout which is why I would recommend this book to someone. This book reminded me of a very sick friend I had and I drew a connection to the relationship between the 2 protagonists. This book's audience is primarily young adults so I would definitely associate my friends with reading this book.

Dear Hazel,
Somethings in life are not meant to be, and you must realize that everything happens for reason. The death of someone is never easy, being separated from someone you love can always be a struggle, however you should be proud of yourself that you managed to push through and survive your ordeal.

An alternative ending to this book would to have Gus survive and build a future with Hazel, as opposed to him having cancer reappear and he passes away as a result of it.

Metaphor - "They don't kill you unless you light them" (Green 20) combined with the fact that he put the cigarette in his mouth in front of someone who has thyroid cancer illustrates the most iconic scene from the entire book.

Simile - "I fear it like the proverbial blind man who's afraid of the dark" (Green 12) - He fears oblivion (being unaware) just like how a blind man would be afraid of the dark, he doesn't fear it.

Hyperbole - "but when they tell you that you have, say, a 20% chance of living five years" (Green 5) - This is an exaggeration from Hazel because she doesn't seem too sure of her odds but at the same time she is able to survive throughout the book so her odds are actually with her in this situation.

The exposition begins in the beginning when Hazel is diagnosed with cancer; she later meets Augustus who also has cancer at a support group in their home town of Indianapolis.

# data[].attributes.body
The setting of the book is mostly in Indianapolis, this serves as the home for both of the protagonists throughout the first half of the story. Then they visit Amsterdam to visit their favorite author and the presence of Augustus's cancer reappears which foretells the rest of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
The climax of the story is when Augustus's cancer comes back. This serves as the climax because as one of the protagonists and Hazel's best friend, the fact that his death (Fate) is near, shows the turning point in the story.
