THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

One of the recent books I read was The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I literally could read this book everyday for two years and never get sick of it. 

Throughout this book, I figured out that my favorite character is Augustus Waters. I wish every guy in the whole world acted like him. The reason why he was my favorite was because he knew how sick Hazel was and even though he was sick he still put Hazels needs before his. My favorite quote that Augustus said that made me so happy for Hazel was "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.” Augustus knew how sick he was and he did not know how much time he had left but he still cared so much about Hazel and that is what made him my favorite character.

Out of a thousands of scenes, it is a very hard to pick two. My absolute favorite scene in the book is when Augustus used his wish on Hazel to go to Amsterdam. Although the visit with Peter Vanhousen was not the best, they had a very romantic time and enjoyed being together. Augustus really did not have to do this, and this scene describes how much Augustus cared for Hazel and how much he loved her.

Another one of my favorite scenes is when Hazel and Augustus met. When they met at support group, they instantly clicked like a lock clicks when you close your locker. They were attracted like a north and south pole magnet. After that day, they became closer and then ended up being soul mates. I love Augustus in this scene because if it was not for him, Hazel would of still probably felt uncomfortable about herself and she would not want to talk at all during support group. Augustus brought out Hazels inner happiness and changed her life forever.

Augustus Waters reminds me of Troy Bolton from High School Musical because they both care about the people they love. For example, even though Troy Bolton did not want to do the school play, he did it because he loved Gabriella Montez and thats what she wanted to do. When you love someone so much, you would do anything for them and even if you do not want to do something that they want to do, you do it anyway. Augustus waters was not extremely interested in An Imperial Affliction, but he read it because Hazel wanted him too. People go out of their way for love and Troy Bolton and Augustus Waters were true examples of this.
