Character Analysis Of 'An Imperial Affliction'

Augustus makes an impact on Hazel’s life. Augustus and Hazel meet at Support Group and grow a close bond. Augustus and Hazel fall deeply in love throughout the story. When Augustus’ cancer sprung up again, he asked Hazel to write him an eulogy. In Hazel’s eulogy she says, “My name is Hazel. Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life. Ours was an epic love story, and I won’t be able to get more than a sentence into it without disappearing into a puddle of tears”(Green 259). This shows that when Augustus dies he will leave a (mental) scar on Hazel, because Hazel will deeply miss Augustus when he dies. Augustus transformed Hazel

Hazel has a strong identity in the story, she has much self-confidence and is not afraid of letting everyone know that she is the best, “Now some people like to act like things come easy to them, won’t let on that they practice. Not me. I’ll high-prance down 34th street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong even if it does get my mother uptight.” p. 1 ll. 29-31. Thus her strong and proud personality, she still loves and protects Raymond and is not afraid of showing this either. At the end of the story Hazel’s view on other people changes, when she sees Raymond running parallel with her at the May Day race in his own unique style. She realizes that everyone is not just who she sees them to be, that there are more to people than you can

Third, Hazel is a person to admire since she’s humorous. Specifically, Hazel talks about her diagnosis with Stage four thyroid cancer when she was thirteen. “(I didn’t tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You’re a woman. Now die)” (Green 24). This shows Hazel is a person to admire since she is humorous because she jokes about the irony of her becoming a woman to soon be basically diagnosed with character and most likely dying instead of being depressed or self-pitying. Lastly, Hazel is a person to admire since she is smart. In particular, when first conversing with Augustus in the car, she mentions that due to her condition, she had to drop out of from high school, and she can’t go back since she already has taken her GED so now she taking classes from the local community college. This shows that Hazel is a person to admire since she is smart because although, she has dropped out of school, she was still able to take the quite tough test, GED, in order to do so, and seems to be fine taking college level classes at her age of sixteen. Therefore, Hazel is funny and smart, making her a person to admire. In conclusion, the main character in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, Hazel Grace Lancaster, is an admirable

No matter how old you are, you might know what It feels like to lose a loved one. Hazel Grace has never been anything but terminal, until she meets Augustus Waters, and that’s when her story is about to be completely rewritten. The novel is an emotional roller coaster dealing with first loves, terminal illnesses, secrets, passion and trust. In the novel, The Fault In Our Stars, Hazel Grace must go through what any person with a terminal disease must go through and beyond that: overcoming a terminal disease, love, and fear.

To begin with, this story takes place mainly in Indianapolis in the 21st century. The story also takes place in hospitals, support groups in churches, as well as each other’s homes. From this, I can understand when Hazel describes

Hazel grace is a dynamic character because she changes throughout the story. In the beginning, Hazel doesn’t want to get close to Augustus, because she was afraid he is going to be shattered when she dies. But towards the ending, hazel finds out it doesn’t matter if you die in the middle of a relationship, it’s about the moments you spend together. A quote in the book, on page 214, “Only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn’t unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn’t want to.”

In conclusion, Hazel Motes was just as crazy as everybody else that he encountered during the story. Not a single person contributed to his sanity, but each one of them helped make it worse. It was obvious that his ending was not going to be a happy one. Perhaps he felt that it was his time to go, not only because he didn’t want to be married to such lady, but also because his life was useless and he had no reason to

First off Hazel is this sweet, vibrant girl who just wants to live a life cancer free. But she learns things along the way that make her think “wow I actually kind of like my life the way it is.” Hazels has this swagger about her that is just natural she can state quotes from the top of her head, here’s one “As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” I love the fact that Hazel thought about what she was getting into with Gus because she didn’t want to hurt him and worse than he

There is a sense of rebellion throughout the story that reminds the reader of what it’s like to be a child. As a child I can remember talking back, and when something didn’t go my way I would pout and “give (them) some lip.” (Bambara 450) Having this sense of rebellion makes it feel like you can do whatever you want with no price to pay. However, this again shows the rebellious nature of Hazel helping the reader realize she is a child. Even when Hazel talks to the manager of the movie theater she is courageous enough to “…kick the door open…and sit down...” (Bambara 451)and demand the manager her money back. She even puts up an argument to get out of punishment with her parents when she knows she has done something wrong. The connectivity between these two ideas help

Augustus realizes that a lot of people let their cancer identify them, which it seems at first like Hazel does. Through the novel Augustus mentions multiple times how he wants his life to mean something other than cancer. “I fear that I won’t be able to give anything in exchange for my life. If you don’t live a life in service of a greater good, you’ve gotta

Hazel Grace. An average teenager except she has caner. She is hooked up to an oxygen tank to help her breath. She is told by her mom to go to a support group and so one day she did. While at support group she meets Augustus Waters who is there to support his friend Isaac who is bline in one eye and is going in for surgery soon for the other eye and then he will be completely blind. After support group while outside Augustus approaches her and ashes her is she wanted to come over and watch a movie. Augustus had his leg amputated due to his cancer which now he is cancer free. Hazel and Augustus were talking about their favorite novels and then Hazel introduced Gus to "An Imperial Afflcition" and Gus introduced Hazel to "The Prince of Dawn."

First, the external problems in both stories failed to prevent the couples love for eachother. In The Fault In Our Stars, Augustus says, “I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you” (Green 153). Augustus acknowledges that death is inevitable, however that will not stop his love for Hazel. To add on, the death of these two teens was expected to come sooner rather than later from their obstacle of cancer. That puts further emphasis on the meaning of the quote. Augustus,

Firstly, within the novel, it is clear that Hazel is a caring person and is fully aware of what her body’s condition does to her

Interestingly, Augustus got in contact with a charity that gives cancer kids a wish. Augustus decided to use his for the two of them to go on a trip to Amsterdam to meet Peter and Lidewij. In the midst of this, Hazel painfully experiences her lungs filling up with fluid causing her to be rushed to the hospital. She lives, however her personal doctors say she isn’t healthy enough to go to Amsterdam. During one of her cancer meetings, one of her doctors, Dr. Maria, says that Hazel should live her life, convincing
