Literary Analysis #2

The Fault in Our Stars
Author is: John Green
Section 1: 
1. The things that drew me to this book was I had heard alot of amazing things about it. I had also saw the movie and its was fantastic, I thought i would see how they depicted the the movie from the book. 
2. The reason I kept reading is becasues after the first couple pages i could not put it down. I have a thing for romance novel's. 
3. I enjoy reading in my room at night or when im sitting out side were its quite and peacful. I also read in the living room with headphones in. 
Section 2: 
1. The Fault in Our Stars  is a fictional story about two Cancer patients and their love. Hazel is a cancer patient who is lonley and keeps to herself and one day her mother makes her go to a support group because she feels that Hazel is depressed and that she needs to get out more. At the support group she runs into Augustus Waters. From that day they become very close and end up falling in love. Augustus takes Hazel on a trip to meet her favorite author. Hazel is obsessed with this author and his book and has questions about the ending, because he had never written a sequel. After the trip Augustus tells Hazel that the cancer is back and has spread throughout his entire body. They both have and emotional time and then Augustus tells her just not to think about it. Augustus passes away, but Hazel is still madly in love with him, but shes not as sad because she believs it was a pleasure to love him. 
2. The theme of this novel is that if you love someone then to enjoy the time you have together because you never know how much time they had left. 
3. The author's tone is that he wants us to understand how precious life is, and also to enjoy every second of it. During the time Hazel and Augustus are on their trip they get to be joyful and happy and just have so much love towards each other. This shows that they are enjoying their time together. Haveing the fact be that they are bithe canser patients shows us how precious life is. The author makes you feel the sadness with in her when she finds out Augustus had died instead of just telling us. 
4. The diction that the author chooses is simple and a sophisticated dialogue. There is simple dialogue when the parents are talking to the children and more intelligent when Hazel and Augustus talk. The syntax of this novel shows that Hazel is an avid reader. This book didn't really foreshadow much, I do believe that people who read the book understand that one of the patients is going to pass and after hearing that the cancer had come back to Augustus it was obvious to the reader that he would be the one to pass. 
Section 3: 
1. Direct characterization is being showed when Hazel describes Augustus. Also the way Hazel describes how charming Augustus is. Indirect Characterization is being shown when Hazel is thinking about her friends or Augustus and states certain characteristics about them. In my opinion the author uses these to let us get to know the characters in a differant way.
2. The author's syntax changes when Hazel is talking about Augustus. 
3. I would say Hazel is a dynamic character because she changes from this very sad depressed girl to a girl with life and a more loving attitude. She is a round character throughout the book, but in the beginning I would consider her a flat character because she is so distraught. 
4. I had felt like I got to meet Hazel and Augustus not just read about them. The author, John Green for sure showed me throughout the book who these people were. My favorite scene is when Hazel tells Augustus the eulogy she wrote for his funeral and they have this amazing moment and shes thanks him for the love and care he gave her.
