The Fault In Our Stars
The
Fault In Our Stars
I am reading the book
The Fault In Our Stars. Many things interested me into reading this book. One
its one of the most popular books, so why not give it a try? I am not a big
person on reading sad books but once again all my friends have told me this is
a must read kind of book. It only took me a few chapters to realize the mood of
this book. Sometimes the book can put you in tears and other times it can have
you doubled over laughing. Never was there a dull moment. Not once has it lost
my interest there is always something wanting me to read just one more page,
which ends up turning into three more chapters. I can relate to this book in
some ways which makes it even more entertaining to read. Hazel is the main
character who is diagnosed with a terminal cancer. She is trying to live her
life just like any other teenager but of course has to run into some troubles. A
romantic novel would not be a romantic novel without some type of dilemma. There’s
always something that puts a twist on the story in about 9 out of 10 love stories
you read. She talks to a boy name Augustus and they travel on her journey
together and are “dating.”
On page 29 it says,
"The living room TV is yours for watching, His dad said happily. I think
were actually gonna watch it in the basement. His dad laughed. Good try. Living
room. But I want to show Hazel Grace the basement. Augustus said."
I am sure some
younger teenagers could make a text to self-connection with this. At one point
in your life you have a girl or boy over and you want to go downstairs but your
parents pick a fight with you. Over the years I learned I should probably
listen to my parents because they have more power than I do. Sadly. Anyways, that
is what happened to Augustus when he wanted to take Hazel downstairs. This is
only one of the many connections you will make throughout the book. There are MANY
others.
Another connection is text-to world.
Cancer is one of the main topics in the book. This is a huge problem in our
world today. Everyday people die of cancer or are diagnosed with cancer, which
is what happened exactly what happened in this book. This story has a sad plot
line but is also romantic at the same time, which many people enjoy to read.
Being able to make connections with a book is a key thing to keeping your
interest throughout reading the book. So I HIGHLY recommend to give this book a
try. You wont regret it.
