For a while now, I have heard of the book The Fault in our Stars by John Green, and I had an interest in reading it. All of my other friends have read this book and recommended for me to read it. I was planning to, but I never really got around to buying the book. Finally, I went to the movies recently with my family and one of the movie previews really caught my attention. My sister then pointed out that she had read the book, and it was called the Fault in our Stars. So that is when I eventually got the book and I started reading it.
As I began to read further into the book, I start to understand the story and lifestyle of Hazel Grace Lancaster. Now I haven't gotten past even six chapters yet, but it's spring break and I am on more of a relaxed schedule:) But Hazel is a sixteen year old girl who was faced with an awful obstacle in her life; cancer. It started in her thyroid and then moved to her lungs. Because of the cancer that spread to her lungs, Hazel has to roll around an oxygen tank. Every week, Hazel attends a support group that her doctor thought would be helpful with dealing with her cancer, and Hazel does not like going. But Hazel is one of the fortunate ones, because the doctors were convinced the cancer was going to kill her until they tried a medicine that would shrink her tumor. And it worked. Still faced with the depression of the thought of dying, this is why she goes to this support group. One week however, someone from the support group brings a friend a long who has had his share of cancer. Hazel meets him and finds that his name is Augustus Waters. So far, I haven't read any further, but I think I can predict that Hazel will form a relationship with Augustus and I hope he supports her through her struggles with cancer. Can't wait to read more!!
The picture above I wanted to add because I wanted people to elaborate on this thought; In the support group that Hazel attends, they ask her how she is doing, and she always responds with ,' I'm okay." Bu do you really think that she is? For the people who have read this book, do you think that having Augustus in her life will actually make her feel okay, or is he just a distraction from her cancer issues.
