Reading Response : The Faults in Our Stars by John Green


             I am currently reading a book called, The Faults in Our Stars by John Green. So for this book has been really interesting to me. The main character Hazel has cancer called, Thyroid which is in her lungs. So Hazel's mom put her in a program called, The Support Group. At first Hazel really didn't want to go. After she went their and got to know other kids her age and older, that also have cancer. She started to enjoy going to the program and expressing her self. Hazel felt like she can relate to other kids who also have cancer like her.

             At first Hazel thought that she wouldn't enjoy going to The Support Group. Once she went their she felt like she could relate to other kids there. She met a lot of older kid then her that also have cancer. One of the older kids that Hazel met which she thought was attractive, name was Augustus Walters. Augustus has a type of cancer called osteosarcoma. He was very deep but he didn't keep to himself , he was open minded. He was also very sarcastic. For example , " How are you doing " asked Patrick " Oh I'm grand" Augustus smiled with a corner of his mouth. "I'm a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend. '' That was one example of Augustus being sarcastic. That was also an example of a characteristics of Augustus. Towards the end of that chapter, Augustus and Hazel know each other and start to talking and get to know more about each other. Augustus even invites Hazel to his house
to get to know his parents.

            Hazel really cares about other people and there situation. Hazel has a good heart and care about other people. For example, when Augustus took a cigarette out of his pocket. Hazel flipped and started yelling at him saying, " Are you serious ? '' I asked " You think that's cool? Oh, my God, you just ruined the whole thing. " ............. " OH MY GOD even though you HAD FREAKING CANCER you give money to a company in exchange for the chance to acquire YET MORE CANCER. " Hazel just met Augustus and she already worrying about him. But Augustus wasn't even smoking he just puts the cigarette in his mouth, he doesn't even light it. That was on characteristics of Hazel. That was also one example of Hazel caring so much about other people.

           In conclusion, Hazel and Augustus have a long way together throughout the whole book. Unless something happens to one of them? Hazel is a really caring person. Augustus is  really sarcastic, but will his sarcasm take him to far and result in a horrible situation.
