THE FAULT IN OUR STARS
MAIN CHARACTER
Hazel Grace
Hazel finished high school early and has already begun pursuing a college education. She is diagnosed with Stage 4 Thyroid cancer with metastasis forming in her lungs, but has managed to live with her disease owing to doses of an experimental drug called Phalanxifor (which does not exist outside of the book).
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
16 years old, has lung cancer. Together with Augustus Waters. Mate with Isaac. Very intelligent and sometimes formulated difficult. Has short hair and always wears an oxygen mask to allow her to breathe properly. Can also drop a sour gas on a wagon wherever they go.
Augustus Waters ( Gus )
Augustus is described as being tall, very handsome, intelligent, having blue eyes and mahogany hair. He fears oblivion, as he wants to make a mark on the world.
Gus constantly symbolized the situations at hand. One example is his tendency to put an unlit cigarette in his mouth, something of a trademark of his: "It's a metaphor, see: you put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing".
August Waters:
17 years. Has had cancer in the leg that caused him to amputate it and now has a prosthetic leg instead. Together with Hazel. Best friend with Isaac. Intelligent just like Hazel and is inspired by books.
SETTING
TIME
The book is written in past tense with elements of the present, when she tells what has happened.
PLACE
It takes place in Indiana, USA
Indianapolis, USA
A city in the US that is quite common. There is a shopping mall like Hazel went to once with her friend. There is not so much nature in the city but most houses and streets.
Lots of canals and trees in the city. Leaves flying around from the trees like Hazel and Augustus notice. A lot of movement around the people who live there, they are running, cycling and roller skating. An inspiring city.

SHORT SUMMERY + END
End:
The end was very emotional. I did not start crying but it was terrible because Augustus dies. It was just so sad.
Action
