Leaving a Mark on the World In The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, Augustus Waters expresses his realization about almost everyone wanting to leave a mark on the world. “Everyone wants to be remembered and outlast death”, he says. Even Augustus does and that upsets him the most. Then he meets Hazel Grace Lancaster who doesn't want to be known or leave a mark on the world. Hazel’s perspectives on leaving a mark on the world means affecting the world in a negative manner. Hazel does not want to leave a mark on the world because “the marks humans leave are too often scars.” (pg.311) She believes that, if she is known and she dies, she will leave a scar on the people who knew her. The thing about Hazel is that she doesn't want to hurt anybody.
