Recommended: The fault of our stars book analys

Chapter One: Okay?

Okay, so this is a companion book about The Fault in our Stars by John Green, there are two main characters and one side assistant character. These characters, Augustus Waters, Hazel Lancaster, and Isaac. Together they are three people with cancer that met in the literal heart of Jesus.

Hazel Lancaster, the character that the entire story revolves around is not the most interesting as a teenage girl, but as the story goes on, things are brought out that let you form your own opinions. For example on page 80 one thing that almost every kid would do with a wish, hazel did. It was no other than go to, of course Disney World. “Do you have a wish?” “No, I used my Wish pre-Miracle.” “What’d you do?” “I was Thirteen,” “Not Disney,” …show more content…

For example when hazel was ranting about how the cigarettes ruined “everything” she went into so much detail to be shot down on page 20 with “You put the killing in your mouth, but you don’t give it the power to do it’s killing” this shows how so much can be shown like how sensitive hazel yet how calm Gus is by just using different lengthed sentences. Another example is when Hazel first saw Gus on page nine she just kept spouting ideas about how hot he is, and how she obviously had a crush on him. Using this structure is what gave me the idea that Gus would obviously have a profound effect on the story which is why sentence structure is such a good type of Author’s craft to use. Finally when Gus described basketball to hazel he went in such depth of what he was thinking it was obviously a type of therapeutic go to activity that made him realize that basketball wasn’t really a sport that acquainted with him. Which later led to him letting Isaac smash them because Gus knew it wasn’t for him. I feel that the Author did this because he wanted to give two very different characters two very different …show more content…

Characters throughout this book have mentioned slight things about past mistakes, and things they might not be proud of, but those are the things that make the book interesting and constantly interesting. So what I’m trying to say is that many of these characters have grown and matured, as we have seen from past decisions compared to what they would do now.

First of all Hazel has grown in many ways, some just growing more comfortable with cancer, or making more decisions that apply to her, for example on page 74-77 when she took it upon herself to visit someone she met a day or two ago in the hospital it showed how as a person she went from probably not caring to someone that cared enough to drive out there and visit. Another example of growth as a person is when she was thirteen she used her only dying Wish to go to Disney World with her family, which many kids do and that’s why it probably did not attain to her growing personality. So when she found out that the author of her favorite book lived in Amsterdam, she knew that that was where she wished to go, showing that she had grown from just choosing what seemed fun, but knowing what was right for

(53) The short and sharp sentences create the feeling of fear and raises the intensity level within the story, while creating an apprehensive tone. Alongside the short and direct sentences, there are also long and descriptive ones. “She had frizzy dark hair, wore long dresses that might have come from a western movie set, a rainbow assortment of beads, and a nose ring. She always talked as if she was thinking in some exotic language and was translating it badly.” (54)

I made the mistake of reading the first Little House on the Prairie book once again after finishing the series. It was just so hard to believe that the distinguished Laura Ingalls Wilder was once a naughty five-year-old, always secondary to her flawless older sister. This transformation made me realize that in reality or literature, characters change as they grow. Their change depends on the events taking place in the book, which explains how and why Laura Ingalls rose up to be the head of the family when her older sister was unable to do so. Many literary works portray growth or refinement of certain characters; physically, mentally, or emotionally.

E ven though the novel and picture versions of The Fault in Our Stars are similar in plot and characterisation, the book portrayed the moral of the story more meaningfully with extensive, emotional dialect. The plot is the same in both the book and film, but each of them have specific minor changes. In John Greens novel, Hazel is a vegetarian, is extremely cancerous and very depressed. Similarly, Augustus has two siblings, is an uncle to his sisters’ children and had a previous girlfriend who Hazel would be very inquisitive about later in the text. While the movie maintains certain romantic elements such as: “It would be a privilege to be heartbroken by you, Hazel Grace.”

The Fault in our Stars Held prisoner by the cancer flooding her lungs with fluid Hazel has lost her ability to interact with people, Hazel is lost to her books and herself, feeling guilty. She is aware that there is nothing she did to cause the cancer but she only tries to decrease the pain she believes that she is somehow causing her family. She gives in to death and gives up rather than make a profound impact on the people around her. She begins to explain this as she narrates “Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time thinking about death,” Green, p.78. She realizes that she spends precious time obsessing about death, she is wasting her life grieving about something she cannot control, predict or change.

Simon Bolivar: The Latin America’s Liberator Regarded as Latin America’s greatest genius, Simon Bolivar in his days was of international renown. There are few figures in history of Europe, Asia, Africa and United States who display his unique combination of strength, character, weakness, temperament, poetic power and prophetic vision that defined him. He played a key role in the independence from Spain of present-day countries of Bolivia (named after him), Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama and Peru. During Latin America’s struggle for independence, Bolivar led audacious military attacks against royalists and Spanish armies; one of those attacks in New Granada is considered one of the most daring in military history all over the world (Langley

“You are never too old for a Disney movie” - Walt Disney In my mind that quote means don’t let people pull you down just because they think you 're too old to do something, do what makes you feel happy. I chose this quote because in my family I have six cousins that are all younger than me so I would have to watch different t.v shows or I would have to play with different toys that I’m not used to. I realize that playing outside and playing with toys is way better than being on a electronic because you know that you not a kid forever and you will get older, so you should try to get all the time you can to be a kid. That’s what the quote “ You are never too old to watch a Disney
