The Fault in Our Stars Response
Title- The Fault in our Stars
Author- John Green
Text Type- Novel
I was overwhelmed with the character Gus/Augustus. He was perfect; witty, self-assured, good looking (from how Hazel describes him) and in love with Hazel Grace. I automatically fell in love with him too; John Green made him a very realistic teenage boy with great desire to win Hazel over. I knew that as soon as I fell in love with him though this novel would break my heart, “the marks humans leave are too often scars”
The Friendship begins with a task; Hazel and Gus set each other a book to read before they can meet again. Hazels being, “An Imperial Affliction” the book she’s read more times than blinked. Augustus quickly becomes infatuated by this novel and sets a goal to find out why it ends so abruptly and what happens to the other characters. “That’s part of what I like about the book in some ways. It portrays death truthfully. You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of a sentence”. With Hazel’s terminal cancer he rushes this process, contacts the author and organizes a trip to meet him. I was in awe at Gus’s ambition to make Hazels’ wish of knowing what happened to the other characters in Van Houten’s book. This ambition shown by Gus inspired me greatly to help people that you care about achieve their wishes and not be selfish. Augustus is completely unselfish everything he does is for Hazel grace.
In the first part of this novel I spent majority smiling and laughing to myself. The way the friendship turns into love is beautiful; Augustus and Hazel Grace seem like two perfectly healthy and happy teenagers. Their love was slow, sweet and charming I sometimes even forgot what they were going through. “May I see you again?” he asked. There was an endearing nervousness to his voice.
I smiled. “Sure.”
“Tomorrow?” he asked.
“Patience, grasshopper,” I counselled. “You don’t want to seem overeager.”
“Right, that’s why I said tomorrow,” he said. “I want to see you again
