The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

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

First of all, Augustus showed her how to have fun and get out of the house for a change. At the beginning of the novel, Hazel’s mother had thought that she was depressed 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

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.”

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

I think I need to know why the creator decided to end the book with Augustus Waters dying if the one who was more sick was Hazel. I also need to know why Peter Van Houten, who was Hazel's favorite author, didn’t want to answer her questions on the book that she had read. Since he was the only one who understood how it was like to be dead, but not be dead, why was it so hard for him to answer her questions when she went to Amsterdam just to see him. I would also want to know why Augustus didn’t tell Hazel when he got his cancer back, there must be a good reason for why he didn’t tell her.

- The next day, Hazel goes to visit Augustus while his doing his cancer treatment

He withers rapidly, and Hazel witnesses all the embarrassment and torment he endures subsequently. He loses control of his body, urinates in his bed, and gets to be bound to a wheelchair. When he calls her for help subsequent to heading to the corner store, she thinks about the guy he's come to be, also knowing the "Augustus Waters of the crooked smiles and unsmoked cigarettes was gone, replaced by this desperate, humiliated creature sitting there beneath me. "(p.45) Afterward in The Fault in Our Stars, she thinks about the traditions of the cancer kid, how should they keep up their spirit and humor all the way to the finish.

So far in the book Fault In Our Stars a 17 year old girl named Hazel Grace, has cancer. She was forced to go to a support group and met someone named Augustus Waters who had a fake leg due osteosarcoma. They went to Augustus’s house and got to know each other more, “My favorite book is probably An Imperial Affliction” Hazel told Augustus on page 34. “He held up the book, which was called The Price of Dawn” Hazel said talking about Augustus telling her a book made after his favorite video game.

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

While in Indianapolis Hazel has to go to all her doctors appointments…. While in Amsterdam, Augustus and Hazel enter a sort of fairytale. They get to escape their regular cancer-orinated lives and just enjoy being teenagers.

Hazel was attracted to Augustus when he said a dialogue about living and dying in their support group. Both of them know that their death could

Also, Isaac from Support Group is a strong supporting character. He is Augustus’ best friend and the reason Gus and Hazel even met in the first place. Isaac also became a way for the reader to glimpse the story from a different perspective. One in which love conquers all, despite anything and everything. Next is Mr. Peter Van Houten. Mr. Van Houten, author of Hazel’s favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, is a complex character who also played a fundamental part. Hazel initially felt that Mr. Van Houten was the only person who understood how she felt. After meeting him, she witnesses his true colours. Van Houten is nothing more than an angry drunk who became consumed by grief. Hazel realizes she doesn’t want to turn into him so she makes the conscious decision that she’ll be better than him. Finally, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster were always supportive of their daughter through her trials and managed to be completely honest with her about the reality of things.

Hazel and Augustus first meet at the Cancer Kid Support Group. “A boy was staring at me” (8) shows that Augustus is attracted to Hazel. “His every syllable flirted” (17) shows that Hazel notices Augustus and likes the attention. After spending the night together, “[Hazel] liked Augustus Waters” (31). This shows that attraction is evident between them. Augustus wants more and expresses his feelings, “I want to see you again tonight. But I’m willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow. I am serious” (37). Augustus seems to be optimistic in life. He has lost his leg but this does not stop him from falling in love or living his life to the fullest.
