In 2013 it is predicted that 580,350 people will die from cancer (Howlader). Chances are any given person knows at least one person, who has suffered from cancer. Talking about cancer is not something that people willingly do. If you are unlucky enough to not know someone who has had cancer, reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green will give you the emotions of losing someone dear to you to cancer. What makes this book worth reading because of it’s plot, the characters are relatable and give the reader meaning, and the book sticks in the readers mind even after finishing the book.

    Similarly, older adults whose perceived isolation score is one standard deviation above average face 30 percent lower odds of being above any category of self-rated health (e–.359 = .698). It is worth noting that disconnectedness and perceived isolation account for part of the health-related advantages of college attendance and marriage. Partnered individuals report better health partially because they perceive themselves to be less isolated (t = 4.13, p < .001), and older adults who attended college may fare better with respect to physical health because they are more socially connected (t = 15.06, p < .001) and perceive themselves as less isolated (t = 5.25, p < .001) than those who did not attend college. Additionally, over 20 percent of minorities’ health disadvantage in model 1 may be attributed to their higher levels of disconnectedness (t = 12.70, p < .001) and perceived isolation (t = 5.28, p <…

    Another way Green uses symbolism in The Fault in Our Stars is through his constant reference to An Imperial Affliction. Hazel and Gus speak of the novel for a fair portion of the story, making references to the sudden end of the book. They speak about how they would love to know how it ends, but could never find out. Such as their initial conversation about An Imperial Affliction, Augustus says ”I guess Anna died” (53). A guess is all we have to give. Green continues to show this in similar ways, constantly reminding the reader that life, just like a book, can end without any warning.…

    Death as theater: A dramaturgical analysis of the American funeral." Life as theater: A dramaturgical sourcebook (1990): 180-206. This source is a book, and its author informs his audience on the importance of the funeral director. The author explains that the funeral is the theater, while the funeral director and his or her staff are considered to be the actors of the “play”. As traditional American citizens we see funerals as a sign of respect. Seeing the body before it’s buried is a way for our society to pay respects to the dead. This source could be useful because it gives an insight on how funeral directors operate the traditional American funeral. Since I’ve already explained where the traditional American funeral has derived from and went into depth about the cultural similarities, and differences I can now explain what it takes to operate these funerals. My paper will not only consist of the origin of the American funeral; but also the work that goes in to it. This book would be an amazing resource for my topic.…

    The fault in our stars is a young adult literature written by John Green. The main characters on this novel is sixteen year old Hazel Grace and a seventeen year old boy named Augustus Waters who fall in love yet are quite aware of the fact that cancer is a part of both their lives. They still go on with their everyday teenage life which includes playing video games, flirting, falling in love, helping friends out with rough patches in their lives. I will be writing about the innocence within the book and how the characters are so young but have been exposed to things that other people their age have not thought about or considered, for example; death, their future, how their family has been affected by the decease that they have to live with.…
