An example is when he writes a letter to Peter about his life, including Hazel. He writes that many people like him want to leave a legacy, but leaving a legacy ends up leaving hurtful scars and spirals into something much bigger and corrupt. “Hazel is different. She walks lightly, old man. She walks lightly upon the earth. Hazel knows the truth: We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either. People will say it’s sad that she leaves a lesser scar, that fewer remember her, that she was loved deeply but not widely. But it’s not sad, Van Houten. It’s triumphant. It’s heroic. Isn’t that the real heroism? Like the doctors say: First, do no harm” (Green 311). The letter continues how the real heroes are people who don’t do, but notice. This shows that Augustus is thoughtful of things in his life because realizes through his experience with Hazel, that leaving a legacy is pointless and a tad selfish if one causes harm, even if that person tries to leave a selfless legacy of helping the many things in our universe. Yet, it is admirable and brave to live a smaller, more humble life with fewer scars and to not be selfish to hurt others to gain anything whether fame, fortune, or again said, leaving a mark, scar, or legacy. Therefore, he is thoughtful of things in his life. In conclusion, in the book, The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, thoughtful is what can be used to describe Augustus
