depression upon Rachel. When we think of depression, we other think of cloudy days or even rain. “Weather is almost always symbolic. Rain serves to set the mood, or it acts as a cleansing. It indicates some type of transition” (Foster 45). The rain in this case can represent three important things, the sadness and emptiness she felt of losing her mother, the cleansing of proceeding to not feel trapped in her hatred birth given family anymore, and as she moves forward to a better life as she continues to follow her desires. Due to her aunt and father removing Rachel from the picture during that emotional time the Shilsky family was going through, all because she chose to live her life how she wished to live it resulted in her feeling that the entire situation was her fault when in reality she truly did nothing wrong, for her family (specifically her father and aunt) are in the wrong for being misunderstanding and disrespectful of her life decisions.

She is referred to as Melinda’s ex-best friend. In the first chapter, Melinda says that she really wants to tell what happened but when she looks at Melinda she mouths the words “I hate you.” (page 5). The way that this affected Melinda is that just this alone can help add to her overall depression. Rachel was the friend that she went to the party with. Just this alone pretty much set the whole mood of Melinda for most of the story. Finally to add to this Rachel even dates Andy Evans which really hurts Melinda until she tells Rachel what Andy Evans did and then Rachel burnt all of the stuff he gave her and ditched him at the prom (page 191). This affected Melinda because she knew that when she told Rachel that at first she didn’t believe her but she came to mind and realized that he actually did do what Melinda. While Rachel didn’t completely negatively affect Melinda she still changed Melinda throughout this

The other kids in the class were quite a factor as well. Although it was not clearly stated, they created a great reason for Rachel to deal with this trauma.

When in reality it wasn’t, and Rachel knew this and Sylvia probably did too but was expecting an entertaining reaction out of Rachel with the teacher.

Tom caused Rachel to always think everything wrong is because of her, so she just goes by this statement she said, “After a while, I learned that when you wake up like that, you don't ask what happened, you just say that you're sorry: you're sorry for what you did and who you are and you're never, ever going to behave like that again.” Rachel had an alcohol problem and thanks to Tom she now believes that every time she blacks out she did something wrong to someone and that she must always apologize for her actions. Which wasn’t always true. She barely caused trouble or drama when she blacks out but, how would she know if she's blacked out? Tom took advantage of her and ruined any good self image of herself that she may of had left.

Middle school can be filled with challenges, and Rachel Lee, an eighth grader, seems to be facing quite a few of them. She's extremely insecure, or as she says, "freakishly shy" and only feels comfortable around her dad and her best friend Marisol or when she's baking. Her lack of confidence has made her a target for mean girls Briana and Caitlin. Unfortunately, as she says, "...when the popular girls finally learned my name, it was only so they could make fun of me." When her dad abandons their little family to start a scuba-diving business, Rachel is devastated and determined to stop the divorce. She comes up with a "Get-My-Parents-Back-Together Plan" that includes stealing money from her college fund, lying to her parents, and secretly buying a ticket to Florida so she can talk some sense into her dad.

Rachel kissed Ross and she comes back home being extremely excited to share this special experience with her friends. When her friends learn Rachel and Ross kissed, they immediately became very excited and tuned. Rachel starts explaining the details and how it happened, and how it made her feel very good. She describes the kiss with great vividness and passion. Whereas, Ross tells this to his friends in a super mundane and monotonous manner/attitude. While they are having pizza, he suddenly goes “we kissed.” His friends just shake their heads like nothing surprising or thrilling happened, and they continue to eat their pizza. This scene illustrates the idea of how women and men approach the same event differently. They encode different aspects

The reason I chose Rachel to join the cast of The Fault In Our Stars is because she would help Augustus and Hazel with their troubles as they share the value not being looked at differently, works of art, and caring for others’ future, which would create a strong bond of friendship between the three. After undergoing chemotherapy and losing her hair, Rachel whimpers to Greg, “Everyone feels like they have to lie to me, and no one realizes how insulting that is”(Gomez-Rejon).

She might be feeling guilty, sorry, and sad, but she may be feeling a little happiness that the secret is finally out. Rachel is guilty of fraud, and sorry for hiding her true identity all this time from the people she worked with and the people she was close too. She is sad because she had to quit her job at the NAACP. From this perspective, this would be discrimination because now people aren’t accepting of her in the natural skin color she really is.
