Literature Analysis #1

1. Hazel grace is just a normal teenager who falls in love with a hottie named Augustus Waters, well i actually lied about the normal teenager, Hazel is anything but a normal she a teenager living with cancer and so is the boy who she falls in love with, Augustus. Throughout the book it describes their odd love life because it isnt like the usual teenage love its much more mature than that. Hazel constantly struggles with her health throughout the book, having to go the hospital and always having chest pains and breathing problems because of the kemo. And by the end of the book the unexpected happens.

2.For me the biggest theme from this book would be that no matter what life throws at you you have to make the best out of the situation that you possibly can. In the book the author gives us a character named Isaac who has to get eye surgery because of the cancer he has which is going to make him permanently blind. But despite all that the girl that he thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with dumps him. With all this emotional damaged Isaac does become a little depressed but it didnt stop him from living his life.

3."I went to support group for the same reason that I'd allowed nurses with a mere eighteen months of graduate education to poison we with exotically named chemicals: I wanted to make my parents happy."
Hazel tends to be straight forward a lot her condition actually made her that way because she knows that she is hitting the early stages of death and she doesnt want to be treated like some little kid who cant do anything for themselves.
"I didnt tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! Youre a women. Now die."
This quote always makes me laugh because just the way Hazel is just so frank makes me feel i should see things in  a new perspective.

4.Some literary element John Green uses in Fault in our Stars is irony. Hazel doesnt understand why Augustus feels its so important to leave a mark. But not trying to, Hazel leaves ends up doing it herself.Another literary element would be symbolism, Augustus Waters, water is an essential we need in life, without water life wouldnt be possible. Augustus shows Hazel how to live life even with the disease she has.
