She desperately starts to look for this last testament with hope that she could have changed something. Later comes depression; in the finding and hunting for Gus’s last testament she feels frustrated and slowly starts to depress. Until that spark of flame ignites her and she reaches the last stage of grief, which is acceptance. She finally finds the last testament which ends with this: “You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you do have a say in who hurts you, and I like my choices, and I hope she likes hers. Okay, Hazel Grace?”. (Green. 313) With her response being: I do. Peter Van Houten became a monster after he lost his daughter to Leukemia. He is a symbol of what you can become if you do not overcome grief. John Green was wise when incorporating him to the novel because he put him as a species of foreshadowing tool of what could have happened if Hazel would not have accepted Augustus’s death. She saw that and she accepted
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
As Hazel first introduces herself she gives off a quite sophisticated but also depressed vibe. My first impression of Hazel was that she was a little too smart for a girl who hadn't been to school in three years. I soon learned that she took classes at the local community college. A couple weeks into support group Hazel meets her match and is instantly drawn to the intriguing character of Gus. I could immediately tell that gus and Hazel had a mutual attraction but a roadblock stood in the way, cancer. The relationship that soon developed between Hazel and gus is what intrigued myself, how they both were incredibly scared to hurt the other emotionally. They bonded over their overuse of symbols and metaphors. For example, how gus used the cigarettes as a metaphor… “It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing right between your teeth, but you dont give it the power to do its killing.” (Green, 20). I could immediately tell that Hazel has become immensely attracted to Augustus and they would soon become star
In The Fault In Our Stars, the protagonist, Hazel Grace Lancaster is a very complicated girl that is put in a difficult situation. Hazel has been diagnosed with a fatal case of lung cancer, and as a result of that, she also is diagnosed with depression by her mother. At this point, Hazel starts to wonder if her life will ever have a purpose; that is until she meets Augustus Waters. Augustus is a smart, tall guy with mahogany hair who Hazel thinks is out of her league. Little does Hazel know that Augustus will change her life entirely.
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
The depiction of Hazel's Essex parallels to Hazel's distraught state: he progressing in finding himself but not without a difficult struggle. On the first drive after
The project aim was to propose the adaptation of a humidification device to offer comfort to patients who are on high flow oxygen therapy; and to provide in-service trainings to clinical staff. Fisher & Paykel humidifiers were chosen in the proposal as the company provides excellent support for staff; and my past experience has assured me that the equipment is reliable and simple to use for nurses.
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
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 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."
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
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.”
At first, Hazel and Gus were merely acquaintances. In the first chapter, where they meet, Hazel is only mildly interested in Augustus’ “metaphoric resonances”. When he puts a cigarette into his mouth, Hazel is thoroughly disgusted and she feels that “there is always a harmatia”, which shows that she is repulsed by his behaviour upon their first meeting. As the plot develops, they become much closer friends, as seen from Augustus regularly inviting her to his house and finding common interests in her book, talking about the book and often quoting from the book in their conversations, for instance: ‘Augustus nodded at
