The Fault in Our Stars

In the book The Fault In Our Stars there are two main characters. The book first starts off explaining the life of Hazel Grace, she has cancer in her lungs. Hazel has been fighting it since she was in seventh grade. She started to go to a youth group because her mom thought she might be going through depression. It was about the third or second time she went where she met the one and only Augustus Waters. Augustus also had cancer but he had it in his leg and he did beat it. After they meet Hazel and Augustus soon began to get to know each other. The first time they hung out they talked about what kind of books they like. Hazel had said her favorite book and author, which was Peter Van Houten and Gus told her his. They made a switch with their books and Augusts ended up loving Hazel's favorite book as much as she did. After Gus told Hazel he loved the book he also said that he wanted to meet the author in person. So, they planned a trip to Amsterdam where Mr. Van Houten lives himself. Augusts and Hazel go on a magnificent trip full of adventure and love. But throughout the trip theres a bit of a down side because Augusts has to tell Hazel that his cancer is back. The couple goes through so much together both fighting against cancer. You have to read the book to find out if they both win the fight.


Hazel Grace is one main character from "The Fault In Our Stars" and I would describe her in many ways. Hazel is brave and strong, smart, caring and so much more. She has been fighting cancer since she was in seventh grade and still is. She is only seventeen years old and has to carry around this machine that breaths for her. Hazel goes through so much through out the book she has some problems with her lungs during the night. The reason I would call her brave is because when she finds out Augusts has cancer again she feels like the can't help at all. Hazel cares so much about her mom and dad. She feels that if she doesn't fight strong enough that she dies her mom and dad are going to hold it against her. She is just so brave and out going, and full of life. She finished high school got her GED and went to collage. Like I said Hazel is only seventeen years old with her whole life ahead of her. She doesn't let her lung cancer stop her from doing anything.
