The Theme In Fault In Our Stars

Theme


Having past experiences really help me appreciate a huge message throughout this book. A few years back my house was struck by lightning and caught on fire. You can only imagine the amount of stress that was added onto mine and my family's lives for the months that followed. But family and friends were constantly there helping the process and making it 1000 times easier. Over the years our relationships with each other were drastically strengthened. A different story Hazel and Augustus the two main characters of the book The Fault In Our Stars had but the same overall point was reached which was love overcomes hardships. They experienced hardships after hardships throughout there relationship together but none of them were big enough to ruin their feelings for each other it only drew them closer together. 

"You gave me forever within the numbered days and I’m grateful." 

This quote shows the love they shared for each other. Even though cancer dominated there life they were grateful for the positive times. In the end the positives for sure outweighed the negatives. If it was not for the hard times they went through they would never have met at the support group and they would not have been sharing their lives with each other. Another theme I recognized is positivity can get you a long way. Back to my story about my house positivity really got us through the situation. Never once did we say anything negative or look at the situation negatively because what good was that going to do? Absolutely no good. In the book The Fault in Our Stars Augustus and Hazel were always positive and supporting each other which is a big reason why there relationship worked out and they shared the same love for each other. 

"I’m on a roller coaster that only goes up my friend."

 If this quote does not show positivity i am not sure what does. So many things were happening yet he still kept his head up and looked on the good side of things. Many other themes were present throughout this book but those were the two that stood out to me the most.
