This article really hones in on your feelings when you learn you have a terminal illness and how to deal with it. This article goes through all the stages of grief and shows you how to live your life to the fullest ever when you learn you have a terminal illness. This makes me think of at the beginning of the book when Hazel talks about the support group that she goes to and how that group has their ideas how to deal with a terminal illness.

Work of Fiction

This movie is a film that focuses on something similar about people who have illnesses and find themselves in a romantic relationship with each other. Both of these texts/movies display the idea of love and loss while dealing with a terminal illness.

I chose this piece of art because I feel it resonates with the book because of the way the hands want to touch but there are obstacles that are in between them.

Poem

This resonates with the text because it kinda taps into how Hazel feels after losing Augustus and how it was so quick.

I chose this song because Ed Sheeran wrote this about his grandmother who he lost. Both the Fault in our Stars and the song "Supermarket Flowers" both are connected through their exploration of grief, the importance of memories, and the emotional journey of coping with the loss of a loved one.

Author- John Green

I chose this song by Bruno Mars because it highlights the idea that Bruno loves someone just the way they are. Whether how they look, their personality, even if they are sick. This is something that made me think of Fault in our stars because Hazel initially labeled herself as sick and wanted to keep herself from others but when she meets Augustus she learns she can be loved for everything about her.
