My college titled “The Fault In Our Stars” depicts Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters, characters from the novel “The Fault In Our Stars” by John Green. Displayed throughout are several images that represent the physical and emotional relationship between the two main characters Hazel and Augustus. For an example, the picture showing an hourglass saying “time kills” shows that Hazel and Augustus know that one of them will die soon. They’re realists, and come to the realization that they only have a limited time together because of the cancer inside both of them. I also placed some quotes onto the collage that depict the novel and the relationship. “It’s a metaphor, you see: you put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.” These items are a few of many visual representations explaining the novel “The Fault In Our Stars”.
The art piece exemplifies the overall setting of the book by the tone of the visual representations.The images go from sarcastic, to happy, then loving and sad like an emotional roller coaster all over the place. This is just like “The Fault In Our Stars”

It’s more about learning to cope with adversity and making the most of life because there’s a limited amount of time Hazel and Augustus spend together. The novel itself was pretty deep, but it was to the point that I (as a 15 year old teenager) could still understand and appreciate it. The part that got me the most was the ending because it was extremely emotional for me to read about Augustus dying and his funeral. It was realistic, honest and gave you real life expectations of what being in love is really when you’re dying is like, instead of the cliche “oh everything is great and nothing bad ever happens” version.The theme of love is what made “The Fault In Our Stars” an emotional, insightful, raw and truthful
The author of this book did make use of literary elements to tell the story. These elements are also used in other picture books such as lines, shapes, color and speech bubble. The book is a graphic novel and dialogue takes majority of the writing in the book. The dialogical and concise style of writing of the author including the pictures
The novel uses a lot of this imagery to describe what is happening around the family as the story progresses. In some of the chapters, the reader is shown enough imagery that they understand what some of the characters are going through—whether the mother and the father, the son or the daughter. The problem with this book for many readers is that you don't
An example of imagery in this novel is fire. They use fire as a danger. The burning of the books was making the people mad, so the protest started. “The woman's hand twitched on the single match switch. The fumes of the kerosene bloomed up about her”. The lady who is protesting the burning of the books so she burns herself alive. This is showing danger because she is burning herself and a risk because she is taking a stand for her
Emotionally, I felt a sense of surrealism. I felt sad. And at other parts I felt disgusted and sorry for the characters. I began to question everything in the book. O’Brien used imagery in a very powerful way. For example he writes, “The place was at peace. There were yellow butterflies. There was a breeze and a wide blue sky” (173). There were many other examples of the exceptional use
In essence, the author is able to accomplish his style and language using two very critical tools used to refine his masterpiece. These tools at his hand are imagery and perspective. The author uses the first person perspective in order to give the readers insight to what is going on inside the head of the author. The writer utilizes imagery in order to feed the reader’s imagination so they can picture the environment. The final outcome is a unique form of both style and language for the reader to indulge
The way this short story was written how life was back in the 60’s. The author paints the picture by imagery or symbols, and irony so one can have a better understanding of the story. Images or symbols is a great way to imagine what the author is trying to describe in the passage. It is very important to have it gives us the reader what the character's perspective what it's thinking,
significant because it shows that the book is trying to draw a picture in the reader's mind about
Furthermore, the illustrations paint a beautiful picture that I like to think is an insight into a child’s mind, which I is a key element in this book and what makes it so great. Since the book is narrated by a child the intentional simplicity of the words and the controlled chaos that is the illustrations breathes unadulterated life into a rather normal children’s book.
Lastly, art is represented by Liesel, a girl who often craves books, in the midst of pain. Liesel craves for books throughout the story to keep her distracted from her confusion about the world around her. When Liesel is first introduced she is doing what she
My next example, is the "wall". The wall is something later in the book, that Bobby "tags" or spray paints. He paints images about finding his identity, and how the painted figure, is unable to find it. He paints a baby carriage, which is associated with babies, showing how he is growing away from his childhood, and he is becoming a parent, because his girlfriend Nia is pregnant. The rest of the wall is bringing back memories from his childhood, and he realizes is not getting that back.
Hazel grace was remarkably negative during her cancer battle. A quote from the book is, on page 99, Hazel says “I’m like. Like. I’m like a grenade, Mom. I’m a grenade and at some point I’m going to blow up. I just want to stay away from people… because there’s nothing I can do about hurting you” She was saying that she is going to die and she wants to stay away from people so they don’t end up being hurt.
In addition to using symbolism, Le Guin writes using vivid imagery to describe the theme of the story. She gives the reader an image of the room the child lives. “It has one locked door, and no window. A little light seeps in dustily between cracks in the
Initially, the cover and title page of the book both play a key role in the layout of the story. On the cover, the artistic style of the illustration looks like a cartoon and a painting. This style is very realistic because of the situation portrayed on the cover; yet playful at the same time because of its comical vibe. The cover also looks three-dimensional and the author seems to be using a straightforward perspective of art. This idea is led be true because the child, wall, and table with the fishbowl are all facing towards the reader. The title is also as large in font as the child and fish bowl are. This shows that the cover is relatively proportional in both text and pictures.
In John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Hazel, Augustus, and Peter Van Houten say this important statement to the audience multiple times throughout the novel. Implying the true meaning behind this statement by the author, this implies the repetition of the same statement throughout the novel is an example of a major theme. In fact, this statement states the overall major theme of the novel. All the characters realize that people cannot always accomplish their desires despite them being cancer-stricken young children. Even if they are surrounded by constant support, this is also a phrase of the acceptance of their current situation, specifically the main issue in this novel, cancer, and their acceptance on the harsh reality that many children
that is constantly being used through out the book. The idea of art is prominent to the reader.
