ReplyDelete“So what was it like?” she asked. “Having your boyfriend die? Um, it sucks.” “No,” she said. “Being in love.” “Oh,” I said. “Oh. It was . . . it was nice to spend time with someone so interesting. We were very different, and we disagreed about a lot of things, but he was always so interesting, you know?” This is a qoute from Chapter 25 that was like yes girl but no girl at the same time. I said this because everything that she said about love was so true but its more to love then just what she said. Yes you do think the person is very interesting and it is about what you agree on and what you disagree on, but it's still more to that. Love is spending the rest of your life with that person, love is you waking up everyday missing that person just wondering when you will see him/her, also its like that person is your life, knows everything that you love hate, knows the type of food that you eat your favorite colors. Love is everything and most people will never find out until they find the right one.

The quote that stood out to me the most was “Lidewij, I believe Augustus Waters sent a few pages from a notebook to Peter Van Houten shortly before he (Augustus) died. It is very important to me that someone reads these pages. I want to read them, of course, but maybe they weren’t written for me. Regardless, they must be read. They must be. Can you help? Your friend, Hazel Grace Lancaster She responded late that afternoon. Dear Hazel, I did not know that Augustus had died. I am very sad to hear this news. He was such a very charismatic young man. I am so sorry, and so sad. I have not spoken to Peter since I resigned that day we met. It is very late at night here, but I am going over to his house first thing in the morning to find this letter and force him to read it. Mornings were his best time, usually. Your friend, Lidewij Vliegenthart p.s. I am bringing my boyfriend in case we have to physically restrain Peter” (pg.303-304). This quote stood out to me the most because it was very interesting and I felt tension in that quote. At first I would think Lidewij would do that for Hazel, but to me that was a cancer perk, but strongly a favor because of the death of Augustus Waters. I think she felt pity and wanted to do something to help a cancer kid and to my reading it seems like she would do anything for example get her boyfriend. An I would like to thank Mr. John Green for this wonderful book and wish him the best.
ReplyDeleteThe quote that stands out to me best is stated “She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten”. This quote stands out to me best because this was so beautiful what Augustus has said about Hazel. It sounded kind of weird that he would send these papers to Van Houten but at least He read them. Well he was force too. Anyway, So Augustus was able to write her something before he passed away. The cute thing about it was he was he didn’t even let Hazel no about anything. The whole eulogy was beautiful but the quote I pick was about her and that’s what she needed to know about herself. She was a doubtful and now she had a lover that told her the truth about herself. If I was Hazel, I would’ve cried reading it. I think this was a good way ending the last chapter even though after that we don’t know what happen to Hazel, her parents, Augustus parents, or Isaac. Overall I enjoyed the novel. Some parts of the novel were sad, disappointed and unexpecting but, the novel was good. Hopefully John Green would come out with a sequel. Maybe it would tell us what happen to the rest of the characters. Maybe Hazel and Isaac will become close friends. Maybe Hazel parents would move somewhere else. Maybe her mom would be a good social worker. But who knows.

Hazel is different. She walks lightly, old man. She walks lightly upon the earth. Hazel knows the truth: We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either. What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers. I do, Augustus. I do. I chose this quote because it touched me so much. Gus truly loved Hazel and Hazel truly loved him. They were so in love. I know it’s hard for Hazel to lose the love of her life to a deadly disease that she’s suffering from. Gus didn’t mean to hurt her by dying. He’s death was out of his control. You cannot choose how you die or when you die. Some people die sooner than others in this case Gus died sooner than Hazel. This book was an emotional rollercoaster ride for me. This was an amazing book. It tells you a love story between two cancer kids that’s suffering from a common disease. I love this book it inspired me to enjoy my life and to give appreciation to the brave cancer kids who is fighting for their lives every day. Thank you Ms. Hall for introducing me to this amazing book.
ReplyDeleteThe quote that stuck out to me in Chapter 25 was' Hazel is different. She walks lightly, old man. She walks lightly upon the earth. Hazel knows the truth: We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either. What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers. I do, Augustus. I do. I liked this quote because it was sentimental and romantic. It expressed the true feelings that both Augustus and Hazel had for each other. This quote describes the pain that each of them were willing to put upon themselves because they never knew who was going to die. Hazel had no control over Augustus dying, which hurt her, but she did have control over her letting Augustus in her life. I think that the things that Augustus wrote about Hazel are priceless and worth cherishing. If I were Hazel I would be glad to have someone in my life that is willing to risk their health just to please me.
ReplyDelete“What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.” This quote means that you can hurt someone on accident but you can dodge a bullet with potential hurt toward you. I mean you can always choose who gets to hurt you from who you let in your life. Gus is so nice to have written this letter to Hazel. I’m so glad that she has found what she is looking for and to have that one good memory of him. That is so cute. I love their relationship but I’m really mad that they ended the book like that. Why didn’t it end sitting by “Funky Bones”? I do agree with this quote because I’ve hurt a lot of people with it not being intentional. Bu8t I do distance myself from people so that they won’t hurt me. I know that Hazel died at the end because the book just ended out of nowhere. This is the best book ever and I’m so glad that I read it. I might read it again and again and again, that’s how good it is.
ReplyDeleteA quote I like is "mom suggests we go see gus". I like this quote becaus I know this is hard for hazel, it would be hard for me also. I understand how hazel feel losing someone. Another quote I like is " I refreshed my mail continually that night". I would do something like that if i was excited to get mail back. I like gus note to peter van houten about hazel. That was sweet to do befoer he died.
ReplyDeleteA Quote That stood out to me was the best was when Hazel says " I miss The future , obviously i knew even before his recurrence that i'd never grow old with Augustus waters." This quote stands out to me the most because hazel and Augustus relationship was becoming a very strong meaningful relationship. I Know how hazel feels because Augustus should have told Hazel how bad His cancer was in the first Because if she knew she would have told him say no to his wish to Amsterdam. But Hazel already prepared herself for Augustus Death because she knew he was going to die eventually because of how bad his sickness was getting

ReplyDeleteQuote: “So what was it like?” she asked. “Having your boyfriend die? Um, it sucks.” “No,” she said. “Being in love.” “Oh,” I said. “Oh.

ReplyDeleteThis quote stands out to me because it is not the same when you lose someone that you really love and I know that really hurt Hazel heart when she Augustus died. I can compare this to anyone that had a love one that died and I know you really love this person and I you do is cry because it really hurt because you say in your mind dang he or she didn’t get to see me grow up or have any grand kids or what so ever. In addition, you think about the times that you spent together and you laugh but you still have that sorrow in your heart and you cry I have not got to that stage to see one of my love ones died and I wish it would never happen. My words to Hazel move on and be a great woman and take care of your mom and dad and most of all yourself and you will have memories but don’t let you bring you down in life. WHAT A GREAT NOVEL!!!
I think Hazel feel really bad that she was being mean to Peter Van Houten. I think Augustus and his ex girlfriend will re-united in heaven. I think Hazel going to end up liking Isaac. My view from this book is that I went through the same thing Hazel is going through when my ex die. I wanted to call him and cry to him about his own deaf. When I knew I couldn't and it killed me inside. I use to stay over his house and watch movies and everything but I really couldn't do that anymore. I could tell him my deep secrets. I felt safe in his arms when I was with him. I feel what Hazel is going through cause I been through the same thing. I think Hazel would want to go back to Amsterdam.

ReplyDeleteIn this chapter hazel talks on the phone with kaitlyn and kaitlyn gives hazel the cloud that maybe agustus sent the letter to Peter . Then hazel emails lidewij about what agustus sent. Then hazel goes to the park with her parents. That was nice though hazel was probably thinking about agustus the whole time. When she gets home she has a email frog lidewij. It turned that Augustus wrote her a eulogy and not a sequel to an American affliction. My favorite part of the eulogy is when agustus says that hazel is ," so beautiful you don't get tired of looking at her." That was very cute and thoughtful. Hazel may think that she's ugly because of her hair cut and puffy cheeks but agustus thinks That she beautiful. The worst part was how they only Got a small infinity. It's very sad they didn't get more time together. I liked how he talked about there highs and lows together. They connected so much in a small period in time. It was like they were supposed to be together. The eulogy showed that Augustus really did live and care about hazel . My least favorite part was how the book ends . I really wanted to know if hazel beat her cancer , or does she die and the eulogy is read at her funeral , or even if there story is discovers and turned into a book and they actually do leave a legacy!
" But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love. I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar". This quote stood out to me because he di leave his scar on the one he loved. I didn't understand this at first until I thought about the conversation between Augustus and Hazel about legacy. They both left marks on each other fighting a diesease they can't contrl and fought together. They both wish they had more time to fall in love with each other. In the book you can tell that Augustus left his scar because she acts a different way and has a different perspective on life. Leaving something that someone can cherish is like leaving your heart in the open for whoever loves you to have.
ReplyDeleteThere are many lines in chapter 25 that I like one of the lines is "having a boyfriend die, um it sucks." That does suck because you never want to hear that.If my boyfriend died when we're together that would really hurt ,especially when you love them, that will kill somebody inside. Anybody that dies and you love them it tears or rips apart of you. I don't kno how Hazel was so calm about it. I mean I will be devastated, heartbroken I don't know what I would do.
ReplyDeleteAnother line is "but then I wanted more time so we could fall in love. I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar." This line is from the beautiful eulogy Gus had written for Hazel. He wanted to be with her longer and he did. When he said he left a scar, first I was confused then I thought about it that means that he left memories he did what he needed to do.
