Book: THE FAULT IN OUR STARS
Author: JOHN GREEN
Page: Chapter 8-13

        During the second part of this book, Hazel, her mother, and Augustus go to Amsterdam at last. Nonetheless, the circumstance is not going so well. Although Hazel meets Peter Van Houten, the author of her favorite book “An Imperial Affliction,” he says aggressive words to Hazel who is eager to know the ending of the book from him. In the end, however, Hazel doesn’t get the result she expects. Besides, Hazel and Augustus have love affair in this session, which makes them deeply connected with each other.

        While I was reading, I felt nervous, interested and I sometimes laughed. I felt nervous since some description made me guess that Hazel’s or Augustus’s condition might get worse due to fatigue. I was interested in the content because I wondered what they would encounter during their first trip abroad. Last, the conversation between Hazel and Augustus made me laugh. Their childish interaction was so approachable that enabled me to recall my childhood memory with my best male friend in elementary school. 

          Actually, I admire Hazel a lot. Being a patient, she insists that she go to Amsterdam to look for the answer to the book. She risks her life just to find what she wants. She really has the desire for knowledge. If I were her, I would definitely not do this. For one thing, I don’t have the courage. For the other, I don’t want those who care about me to get worried. Furthermore, I also think Hazel’s parents are brave. They support Hazel no matter what she wants and help Hazel realize her dream.


        “You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.” I repeated this sentence many times. It really inspires me. It struck me that we must not look on the dark side. For the same event, there must be good points and bad effects we can figure out. As for the result of this event, it totally depends on how we see the event and in which way we think of it! I am now trying to think positively!
