THE FAULT in our stars

• In the beginning of this novel, Hazel Grace
  attends a cancer support group meeting. There,
  she meets Augutus Waters, a very handsome teenage
  boy who had cancer but eventually fought it. In
  the canccr support meeting, the attendees start
  talking to one another and when Augustus is asked
  what he is afraid of he answered, oblivion.
  Hazels response and stated thoughts silenced
  Augustus but also made him admire even more than
  he did when he first laid eyes on her.

The fault in our stars

• Some of Hazels response to Augustus
• There will come a time when all of us are dead
  No human beings remaining will ever remember that
  anyone ever existed or that our species ever did
  anything. And if the human oblivion worries
  you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows
  thats what everyone else does.

• The Protagonist The protagonist of this story
  is primarily Gus although Hazel could be
  considered a protagonist also. With that being
  said, Gus is the protagonist because although he
  knows Hazel has cancer and that his cancer could
  possibly come back, he doesnt let it hold him
  back. He always looks at the best in things and
  not the worst.

The fault in our stars

• The Antagonist The antagonist of this story is
  Cancer and Peter Van Houten.
• Cancer is an antagonist because it has damaged
  many people in this story. Whether they actually
  have the cancer or not. Cancer not only affects
  the cancer victim, but also their loved ones as
  well.
• Peter Van Houten is an antagonist because when
  asked for an ending by Hazel and Gus, he blows up
  in their face and also allows alcohol to control
  him and ruin his relationships with the only
  people that cared for him.

The fault in our stars

• Conflict occurs in this novel when Hazel and Gus
  go visit their favorite author in Amsterdam,
  Netherlands for a conclusion to the novel that
  ends mid-sentence. Upon arriving, they realize
  the author, Peter Van Houten, is an alcoholic who
  cannot control his anger. After stating their
  thoughts, Hazel and Gus leave to go sightsee
  Amsterdam with Van Houtens assistant while he
  sits and realizes what hes done to himself.

The fault in our stars

• One doesnt like to throw around phrases like
  instant classic lightly, but I can see The
  Fault in Our Stars taking its place alongside Are
  You There God? Its Me, Margaret - Time
• Green shows us true loveand it is far more
  romantic than any sunset on the beach. -New York

The fault in our stars

• Personally, this book is one of the best books
  Ive ever read. Not only did I cry multiple
  times, but it also made me laugh. This book is a
  book where you can read it over multiple times
  and never get tired of it. John Green is a
  fantastic writer and I am a big fan.
