Hazel Grace Lancaster In The Fault In Our Stars

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

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.

For this project, I decided to read “The Fault in Our Stars,” a novel written by John Green. This book is about 16 year old Hazel Grace, who is diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She attends weekly Cancer Support Group, where she meets Augustus Waters, a “very intelligent and hot” boy who is currently in remission. They both take a liking for each other, their relationship growing and developing throughout the book as they fight cancer together. Along the way, Hazel learns many important lessons about life.

Hazel grace is incredibly sarcastic throughout the book. A quote from the book is, on page 24; Hazel says “I didn’t tell him that the diagnosis came three

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

One that won’t give up. She goes through chemo-therapy, and depression without any respite. Through resilience and, some would say, God she survived terminal cancer through all odds and even her,☺ I-will-never-make-it-out-alive attitude, making her “Stronger” because of it. However at the start of the book Hazel was not as interested as fighting as she was when she met Augustus. Hazel needed motivation to bring out her inner champion and he was exactly that. An example of her early pessimistic views on her illness was described “Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.” (Green

In the book, Hazel was living an honorable life. An honorable life is when you have accomplished something over your lifetime. In the beginning, she had such a boring life before she went to the support group. She

Life works in mysterious ways, the death of a love one can be hard but overcoming all these obstacles for your one true love would be worth it at the end. The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of Hazel Grace and Augusts Waters in her point of view. Hazel is a 16-year-old girl who spends her time watching shows, including her favorite show Americas Next Top Model. Dealing with thyroid cancer Hazel has always been isolated and keeps to herself she knows and understands she has cancer that’s her way of life and living. Augustus is a 17- year- old boy that loves to play video games, and is very charming. Augustus got his leg amputated due to cancer, but that does not stop him. A Walk to Remember shows Landon Carter perspective of Jamie

Hazel Grace has thyroid cancer. The cancer spread to her lungs and nearly killed her. Her lungs do not work well, so she carries an oxygen tank with her at all times. She goes to a Support Group with other kids who have cancer. During one meeting, Hazel meets Augustus Waters, who shows a keen interest in her. They go to Gus(Augustus)’s house and watch a movie. Hazel and Gus trade their favorite books, which are An Imperial Affliction, and Counterinsurgence 2: The Price of Dawn, respectively. AIA ends very abruptly, and both Hazel and Gus want to find out what happens to the characters after the novel ends. Gus calls Hazel because his friend Isaac is having a mental breakdown. Later, Isaac loses both his eyes to eye cancer. Gus invites Hazel to a picnic in a park behind a museum. Augustus reveals that he has arranged for them to go to Amsterdam and meet the author of AIA, Peter Van Houten. A few days later, Hazel experiences extreme abdominal pain. She is told that her lungs were filling with fluid. She spends a few days at the hospital but recovers. Hazel’s mom is wary about Hazel going on the trip because she might have a recurrence of her pain.

Hazel is a sixteen-year-old girl that is has cancer. I think that Hazel it’s seems to be an adult, we could see this attitude when she talks, in fact she use terms, metaphors, even the way she thinks is very different from a normal sixteen years old girl did not use very frequently, we can see this way of thinking in the first chapter when she is at the support group and the new guy named Augustus Walter talks about his fear of oblivion, Patrick asks to Hazel to say she’s ideas on the topic and she talks about an apocalyptic future were no more people will be alive and the sun will stop shining and all the human being will die, with him all the “famous” people of history. At the same time even Augustus seems to be bigger than his real age, he use very awesome metaphor, for example when he takes from his pocket a cigarette but then he explain that is a metaphor since he never ever lights the cigarette.

Hazel is almost always speaking of her cancer, whether it's with how long she has to live or the story shows us how difficult it is for her and her family and those around her to live with cancer, it also shows the troubles that come with it. Hazel and Gus relate to their cancer though laughter, Gus showed Hazel that even if they had a limited time to live that they can still enjoy their life and still have fun and that cancer does not control their life. Gus was successfully able to make Hazel rethink how she thought about cancer to the point where she left the house and spent time with Gus eventually falling in love with each other until the end. Neither Gus or Hazel ignore the cancer, for a majority of the movie it is thought that Gus is

The story is structured with Hazel Grace Lancaster and her thyroid cancer metastasizing to her lungs. She was diagnosed at a young age and they used a new treatment to delay the growth and so she was permanently attached to an oxygen machine. Meeting her impending doom, Hazel goes to support group and meets Augustus Waters, who also had cancer but was in remission. They eventually fall in love and in the end, Augustus dies from the cancer starting again and spreading from his

Augustus Waters, also struggling with cancer, helps Hazel open up and helps her have a positive outlook on life. They met at a support group to talk about their cancer problems and quickly fall in love. Before meeting Augustus, Hazel doesn’t have many people to talk to besides her parents because she isolates herself after she was diagnosed. Once she meets Augustus though, she is able to open up and experience what it feels like to love and to be loved. They go on multiple dates throughout the book which allow them to connect more and have a good time together. Later, Augustus finally professes his love for Hazel, which makes her really happy and helps her realize that ever since she isolated herself, she wasn't living the life she could have

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

The two main places that involve the two main characters, Hazel and Gus, were Amsterdam and Indianapolis. Hazel was scared that she will one day hurt the ones who love her when she would one day die from her lung cancer. When Hazel had to go to the emergency room that one time because of fluids in her lungs, Augustus was scared Hazel might die. Then as we learn towards the end of the novel, Hazel ends up being scared of Augustus dying when his cancer came back. Hazel was angry when Augustus died besides being very upset. They were disappointed and Hazel got angry when they saw who Peter Van Houten really was. 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. The dangerous times is when Hazel had to go to the emergency room due to fluids in her lungs and when Augustus got his cancer back.
