A quote I like is " this is your battle and you just keep fighting". I like this quote because hazel is saying ghis knowing its worthless, because he heard it before. I also like it because it inspiring to keep going. Another quote I like is "lm on a roller coaster that only goes up". I like this quote because I lke how gus uses it preferring to his sickness. This quote is helpful, when you want to give up. And just to keep your head held high. My thord and final quote is " the negative image blown togathet then blown apart". I like this quote because to me ots say replace the negative with the positive.
ReplyDeleteThe quote that stands out to me is “Just before you went into the ICU. I started to feel this ache in my hip.” “No,” I said. Panic rolled in, pulled me under. He nodded. “So I went in for a PET scan” (pg.213). This quote stood out to me because this was very ironic/surprising when is really trying to say he has cancer again. That is terrible I did not thing it would end up like this my vision was Augustus will have no problems, he would be completely good the whole story and Augustus would help Hazel get through her cancer. But, if you look on the bright side at least Augustus and Hazel could get each other through their illness/cancer. I could understand their pain based on the novel, they are humans just like us but, has to go through more pain, more suffer, less self-confidence, more worries, more people crying, its just completely sad. Its sad that Augustus has to go through this process of thinking his life is over and a miracle happens but, this time a miracle might not happen. Hazel was scared to tell Augustus she loves him because of what happen to his ex-girlfriend Carline Mathers which was one of Augustus love who died from cancer and Hazel Grace did not want to be the next person Augustus loves and die from cancer but, this time it might be switch around meaning Augustus might be the one in Hazel’s shoes, Augustus might be the one to die from cancer and Hazel be the one that is stuck with that pain.

ReplyDeleteThe quote that stands out to me best is stated “I couldn’t be mad at him for even a moment and only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own I’m pending fragmentation”. This quote stands out to me because now reading this chapter not only Hazel have cancer. Hazel found out that Augustus has cancer also and now both of their lives are short. And also now that they’re both grenades it’s going to have a huge effect on their relationship. I’m glad that she’s not mad at him personally because all she thought about was not hurting Augustus because of her illness. She didn’t want to end up like his last girlfriend Caroline. But now that Augustus has she might think about her and him passing away on one another. Honestly I thought the whole chapter was upsetting because now founding out Augustus have cancer just sets a whole new level on the chapter. What if the relationship doesn’t work out like is use to? What if either Hazel or Augustus passes away on one another? How will it affect one another? I just have so much questions that I didn’t even have before since this chapter was so upsetting. There was an upsetting moment in my life when my uncle had passed away. I haven’t seen him in a long time before his death. That was upsetting news. The worst part about that news was that he passed on my birthday. That was the most upsetting news of him passing away.
F.K.
My favorite quote from chapter 13 is , "Ill fight it, Ill fight it for you. Don't worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. Ill find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time." This is my favorite quote because it tells how Augustus is willing to fight for Hazel just so he can remain in her life and wont hurt her by dying. In my opinion I think that if Hazel was not with Augustus then he will not try to fight for his life because he wouldn't have no one to for. Augustus knows that he is dying but he doesn't want Hazel to get hurt by him dying. Beings though Augustus has his death suite and everything already picked out, he probably wants to die, he just doesn't want to leave Hazel. This quote is cute to me because he wants to be with Hazel. He is going to try everything that he can, and fight so hard so that he can stay in Hazels life a little longer. Hazel thought that she was a grenade but when she finds out that Augustus has cancer all over his body she realizes that he is a grenade rather than she is. She notices that she possibly will live a longer life than he does.

DeleteThe quote that stood out to me in chapter 13 was “I couldn’t be mad at him for even a moment and only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own I’m pending fragmentation”. I liked this quote because it was ironic and I felt the same way. Hazel always tried to distance herself from Augustus, but now she knows that she isn't the only dying person. Both Hazel and Augustus are grenades ready to blow at anytime, which can change the rest of the story dramatically. I often distance myself from others to avoid the possible outcomes of getting to attactched to people. I do this not only to save them but more importantly to save myself. I distanced myself from a very good friend of my mine because I thought I was going to die. It actually wasn't worth it because he died a few months after that. I realized that life is to short to not experience or be apart of the lives of other people. Now Hazel regrets trying to save Augustus from her, because now both of them have a short time left.
ReplyDeleteA quote that stood out to me in chapter 13 says ""Ill fight it, Ill fight it for you. Don't worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. Ill find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time." I like this quote because Augustus is saying he is willing to fight just for Hazel, to stay in her life. This part in the story shows Augustus' true love for Hazel. It made me smile when I read this quote. I feel as though Augustus should have told Hazel when he first discovered he had cancer, though. Another quote I liked from chapter 13 says "That is your battle. And you’ll keep fighting,” I told him. I hated it when people tried to build me up to prepare for battle, but I did it to him, anyway. “You’ll . . . you’ll . . . live your best life today. This is your war now.” I like this quote because she is trying to encourage Augustus even though it seems not to be working, she even mentions he was to smart for her encouragement, she was still trying to find something to say and I like that because she realized that now Augustus was a grenade and it was always somebody trying to encourage her, now she was trying to encourage someone herself, somebody she realized she loved.
ReplyDelete“He flashed his crooked smile, and then said, “I lit up like a Christmas tree, Hazel Grace. The lining of my chest, my left hip, my liver, everywhere.” In chapter 13 we learn that Gus now has cancer again and there is little to no hope for him to get better. If he does get better that will be a downright miracle. I wonder what will happen to Hazel after Gus dies. She will probably be very depressed. I wonder what it was like for my sisters when they found out my mother had cancer. I was too little to understand what was going on but when I got old enough to realize that I had no mother it really hurt. Eventually I grew out of but I still miss her and I constantly think about how my life would be different if she was here with me. I also wonder what she’s doing in heaven besides looking down on her family. I feel very bad for Hazel and I hope that she gets through this because she is in for a heck of a ride. She has to witness her first love’s body changes and betray him because of a sickness he can’t get rid of. I know eventually Gus will die but I still have hope that he might get a little better and him a Hazel will get married and have kids and live happily ever after. If I were Hazel I would be absolutely traumatized. Good luck Haze.
ReplyDeleteI picked the quote when gus tells hazel he has cancer. I picked this quote because I was surprised to find out that gus cancer came back. also I only though that hazel would have been battling cancer. I think hazel might had been surprise to when she found out that gus jad cancer everywhere in his body. I also think that hazel and gus roles in their relationship would change because hazel was scared to love gus because of his cancer. now I think hazel is going to realize she was being a jerk and start to love him.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quote in chapter 13 is "I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't you worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay, I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time". This quote stood out to me because Augustus wants to stay around so he won't hurt hazel by dying he really loves and care about her. Its so romantic and sweet. He is willing to survive for Hazel because hurting her is the furtherst thing he wants to do to Hazel.

DeleteChapter 13
ReplyDeleteIn this chapter, they tell Hazel's mom a funnier version of the Peter Van Houten story. Hazel mom left to give them time alone. So they walked back to the hotel. As the both of them sat in Hazel’s hotel and tells her about his PAT scan and says he lit up like a Christmas tree. And that means he has cancer again. This is the reason he was fighting with his parents was because they wanted him not to go to Amsterdam so he could keep up with his chemo treatment. Augustus is sad that he will never have his epic fight, the thing that will give his life meaning. Hazel tells him that he gets to battle cancer. Then, after all the serious talk is over, they make out. The saddest part out of this chapter is when Gus tells Hazel he has cancer again.

In chapter 13 only three qoutes caught my attention. The first qoute was ""Ill fight it, Ill fight it for you. Don't worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. Ill find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time." I like this qoute because Augustus is saying that he will fight his cancer for her, its not like he's saying that he will fight it for him and his health. Also he wants to stay around so they can be together for infinite or you can say a lifetime. The second qoute is " The negative image of seeing two people get blown together then blown apart". This was my favorite because, it is saying that in the begining of it all it was like faith, like it was their destiny to meet. From the start they both never wanted to go to the Support Group but that is where they met. Throughout the latest chapters Hazel would say that she feels like a grenade. When she says a grenade she means that she doesn't want to fall in love with someone and she doesn't want them to fall in love with her because one day she will die. My last and final qoute is " Im on a rollercoaster that keeps going up." I like this qoute. It mainly means that he will go through this no matter what. Augustus shows a lot of signs that he has cancer again. The little ones was when his mother was yelling at him. She yelled at him becasue she felt that he should not move away while his body is weak adn she doesn't what will happen. But the big one was when he got the wish back. The wish was only for people who has cancer. So he wanted to spend his wish on the two of them not just Hazel so she could meet Peter Van Houten.

What page # is the first quote in?
DeleteThis quote that stood out in this chapter is " The negative image of seeing two people get blown together then blown apart." This quote is important to know while reading this book because as it obviously shown it would be talking about Hazel and Gus. This quote relate to them because in the beginning of the story you can see Hazel and Gus started to bond throughout the beginning of the story until they are fully blown together after that night at Oranjee and the time after the Anne Frank. Then they are suddenly blown apart when Gus drops the bird that his cancer has came back and that it is worse than before. This part of the story is also the part when they get blown apart because now both their times are limited. It basically is showing now who will out live the other and who will live to carry on the memory of each other love. The overall chapter of this book is extremely sad but expected. Evidence of this happening was when Gus first showed Hazel what was to be presumed as a death suit. (I don't know if I used that word correctly but yea) Another way this was expected was that when they Genies granted Hazel and Gus wish to travel to Amsterdam because they knew already that Augustus cancer came back before Hazel did. So yea this was something I expected to happen so I'm not surprised about this and about what will happen in the later chapters.
ReplyDeleteThe quote I chose was “I lit up like a Christmas tree, Hazel Grace. The lining of my chest, mu left hip, my liver, everywhere.” Augustus meant that he’s cancer was back and was everywhere in his body. He was going to die soon. The machine showed the proof that it was back. When Augustus said the machine lit up like a Christmas tree he meant that it found cancer everywhere in his body. Another quote I chose was “What am I at war with? My cancer. And what is my cancer? My cancer is me.” I chose this quote because this was very sad and depressing. Augustus is facing reality that he was dying with cancer and that the cancer was him . He got cancer because of his cells not nobody else’s. I am proud of Augustus because even though he has cancer he doesn’t let it get the best of him. He’s still going to life like it’s last day on earth.
ReplyDeleteA quote I like in chapter thirteen is "this is your battle and you just keep fighting." Hazle told this to Gus, Gus heard this before so he doesnt really wanna hear that.
ReplyDeleteAnother quote I like in this chapter is "Im on a roller coaster that only goes up." This quote is kind of sad. I say that because Gus is talking about his cancer. It makes you want to cry in a way because he knows that he is going to die. Gus is strong and that's what the line is letting you know.
Now that I know that Hazel loves Gus, I want to know why it took her so long to say it? Now that he's she thinks its the right time. I think she should of told him a long time ago. Augustus is strong and he's doing a pretty good hov at fighting the cancer.
This whole chapter is full if surprises but I learn that you have to keep your head up at all times, no matter how bad a situation is.

Hazel didn't tell him before because she wanted to protect him from the effect her death will have on his life, assuming he's going to live a normal life.... ASSUMING
DeleteAugustus Waters, a most optimistic man. Hazel believed we have a choice in this world. She believes, about how to tell sad stories. She made the funny choice to describe to her mom the incident with them and Van Houten. Augustus Waters too decided to tell his story the optimistic way. "I lit up like a Christmas tree, Hazel Grace" he said. And I just believed that Augustus Waters is the sweetest character I've ever read. He's a person I'll only dream to be, faced with certain death and still just said it in the sweetest and most cheerful way anyone could. Too sad he's a creation of John Green, a Fiction. Their fight with cancer doesn't inspire me, their acceptance and calmness when they stare in the face of death, their familiarity with it, their sense of authority over it, it's just makes me believe, if they weren't sick of cancer, they'd have lived forever.
