The Fault in Our Stars
The book I've currently been reading is called "The Fault in Our Stars" by, John Green is about the life threatening disease, Cancer. Thsi book is a beautifully crafted book about 2 teengers who are going through diseasea that they will probably not survive from. The narreator, a 16 year old year old girl named Hazel, is struggling from lung cancer, where her lungs fill up with fluid because her lung tissue is not strong enough to keep it out. Her life was a stopped in motion since she was 13 years old, when she was diagnosed. Now her days were filled iwth T.V shows, and endless reading. Then she fell in love with Augustus Waters, a surviver of cancer. During his cancer chemo, the doctors were forced to amputate his leg. He has an attachable leg that now replaces that dead leg. As Hazel falls in love with Augustus, he makes her feel like her life is worth something. They go on journeys together, and suffer together. As Augustus, catches cancer again, Hazel is left to wonder if she can love Augustus, even though he's growing sicker and dying, or should she let him go.
This story is very emotional. I fell that the author is trying to teach us something very important. I think he is trying to teach us that life is very precious. IN this story, Hazel in teh beginning was the one having major health problems. Augustus was there to take care of her, and Hazel got used to that. When Augustus started becoming weaker an weaker from his cancer, Hazel didn't know what to do. I think that Hazel was getting used to the idea that Augustus would always be her care taker boyfriend. I think that when Augustus developed the cancer reappearance, it took her by surprise and worried her. I think that a lot of people in the world throw their lives away, when so many teens are struggling with life threatening disease's and wishing that they could just attend school, or travel. They just wish that they could have a normal life, when so many people just take their lives for granted.

Great response! This book looks really good, but also really sad. I agree with you that most people take life for granted. Good job :)
