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,”

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.

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

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
