Fault in Our Stars

In this book club book The Fault in our Stars by, John Green is about a grirl named Hazel who has a very deadly form of cancer in her lungs. This type of cancer causes her to carry around a bottle of hair with her. Because of this she cannot go to school or do any other activities that usual 16 year olds do. Her life is very anticlimactic, filled with T.v shows and cancer groups. Then she meets Augustus Waters,  who had just recoverd fro cancer. He teaches her how to live, think, love and dream like she never thought she would be able to in her life. Between various deadly experinces with he rcancer, Augustus takes her on journeys that she never forgets. They fall head over heels for each other with both of their passionate love of reading and short time they have to live as well. They tae each other on their journeys into each other's lives full of tragedies, joy and deaths. 


In this book the author goes very deep into Hazels life an dinto her daily activities, and what she felt about her disease. When the author takes us on Hazels ride through life, we see very clearly what a cancer patient has to sacrifice when they develop this disease. I think this helps our world connect with loved ones who are getting this disease. It helps us know how to connect with them in ways that people might not know how to. Cancer patients at this young age not only give up their education but also give up their social life. They are isolated by their medications, doctors, cancer groups, and parents. They are limited as to what they can do. I think that this book helps us know what exactly patients with cancer are going through, and what we could do to help them through their painful life.
