Sara's blog on The Fault in our Stars

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS.

Hazel is a girl of 16 years old with cancer. She encounters a boy named Augustus Waters in one of the support group sessions that she attends. Augustus is smart, appealing and has a prothetic leg, although there are not signs of cancer in his body.

-What's your name?-he said
-Hazel
-No, your full name
-Um... Hazel Grace Lancaster.
He just looked to her.
-What?- she asked
-Nothing...-he said
-And why are you looking at me like that?
-Because you are beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people.
-I'm not beautiful...

Then Augustus reached into a pocket and pulled out a packet of cigarettes. He flipped it open and put a cigarette between his lips.

-Are you serious? Do you think that's cool? Oh my god, even though you had FREAKING CANCER, you give money to a company in exchange, for the chance to acquire YET MORE CANCER!! Totally disappointing.
-Hazel Grace, if you don't light the cigarette, will not hurt you. It's a metaphor see:
You put the killing thing between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.

2.- OPEN QUESTIONS
a) What did he say about putting the cigarette between his lips as a metaphor?

    I like this text so much because I like the things that the boy is saying because they were so true, also i don't think he has to put the cigarette into his lips, but that's not the thing, it was so interesting and exciting, i think that with texts like this, the subject and the blog couldn't be boring.
    Very good job Sara! :)

    I like this text because it talks about the life and the differen types to see them because Hazel see the life like a beautiful moment to a lot of things, but August se the life like a moment to be "guay" and he somke one time and...
    But Hazel don´t want to smoke because she´s on danger and she see that August is automaking bad and he don´t want to reconaise it.
    I LIKE IT!!

    to be happy in the spite of that illness.

    I love this text, I think that Sara chosen very well the text, because is a true story, many people don´t realize the good fortune we have. This small part of the book is really interesting is one of my best:) It´s a very nice topic because she talk about a difficult life, because Hazel has cancer. I've seen the movie and I almost cried a lot because it was a sad story, anyway, I love it. GOOD JOB SARA:)

    Hi! When I read the title I think: "Oh god this article is going to be boring because some friends(girls) said to me a few days before the resume of the complete film and I don´t like very much. But I read today and It think: "This article is very interesting and it say very interesting things, I like very much". I like very much this article because it say very interesting and really good things, like the metaphor of the cigarette. I think that those persons are very intelligent.
    Bye!
