Quotes On The Fault In Our Stars

Superman Returns “’Don’t you ever use your head?’” These are the words of Darrel Curtis, or Darry, from The Outsiders by S.E Hinton that he repeatedly states in the novel to his youngest brother, Ponyboy.

Sometimes it’s easier for a reader to have empathy for others when they know what other people are feeling, thinking, and what’s been going on in their lives. It makes “putting yourself in their shoes” simpler. First Person POV is an example of when this can occur. The reader is seeing events how the main character is seeing it. When Cherry asks Ponyboy what Darry is like while walking home from the movies one night, Ponyboy lets out all of his feelings for his older brother. My face got hot as I bit my lip. “He’s….” I started to say he was a good ol’ guy, but I couldn’t. I burst out bitterly: “He’s not like Sodapop and he sure ain’t like me. He’s as hard as rock and about as human. He thinks I’m a pain in the neck. He likes Soda- everybody likes Soda- but he can’t stand me. I bet he wishes he could stick me in a home somewhere, and he’d do it, too, if Soda’d let him.” This, and Ponyboy’s view of Darry’s actions, sway the reader to believe what he is saying, that Darry cannot stand Ponyboy.

Fitzgerald reveals the detrimental impacts of living in the past, through the character James Gatz and his numerous flashbacks responsible for Gatz’s development into the character of Jay Gatsby. Gatz invented the character of Gatsby, providing a fallacious back-story, in order to convince himself and hopefully Daisy that there remains a possibility of love despite their difference in economic backgrounds. Nick reveals, “So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent, and to this (Platonic) conception he was faithful to the end” (132). Gatsby changed his past, hoping to change the outcome of his future happiness. Fitzgerald reveals Gatsby’s construed misconception of himself through flashbacks in order to emphasize the effect the past has on the present.

This essay will focus on Darrel Curtis or Darry. Darry is a the unspoken leader of the greasers and well as the guardian of Sodapop and Ponyboy, his two brothers. In “The Outsiders” by S.E.

The Fault in Our Stars depicts Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer. The book chronicles her relationship with Augustus Waters, who has also been diagnosed with cancer. Throughout the novel, Hazel constantly struggles with her identity in relation to her disease. She is conflicted whether to accept the prescribed image society has of her or to embrace her true inner self. Through a period of self-realization, she eventually comes to terms with and redefines her identity. Although society may define an individual’s self-image, The Fault in Our Stars demonstrates that identity is defined by the inner self, rather than external forces; in turn, that self-perception deeply impacts one’s perspective on life.

Day 1911 Truman and Marlon are talking in front of a sunset and Marlon says “That's the big guy. Quite a paint brush he's got.” This quote is important because when Marlon says this Marlon is talking about Christof but when Marlon says this to Truman, Truman immediately think God. Another quote that stood out to me was when one of the directors states “That will win the rating period.” This quote is important because this is the time where Marlon “found” Truman’s dad and Truman says “Dad,” everyone rejoices because they know that they locked him in to stay and they say that the “This will win the rating period,” because in causality Truman’s life is a movie. Simen says The whole

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

Having a family to rely on and be supported by is said to be the most important thing to have in life. No matter where you go, you should have loving family members who will support and help you without question, if they are ever needed to. In the novel, The Fault in our Stars, the theme of having loved ones and being close to family members is heavily leaned on through the actions of illnesses and loss. The novel shows the theme through the actions of Hazel, Augustus, and their parents. As expected, each character has their own style of expressing their emotions, feelings, and thoughts in their dark times.

They both felt like they were cancer victims, but they made the best of it with each other by going to Amsterdam and other events. They had many safe times such as when they were at the Support Group and Amsterdam because there were no health related emergencies and they had a good time together.
