    In the book The Misfits, the events in the book largely affect the characters and how they feel about themselves. At the beginning of the story, Bobby believes that it is best to not make ¨waves,¨ or draw attention to yourself. He also thinks that people are dealt a hand. Some people get a royal flush, and others get a pair of deuces, and some get a string of cards that no matter how they are played will never add up to a winning hand. He thinks even if you try and never give up, and if you look at the bright side of things, you probably won't get anywhere. But, as he later learns through a series of events, it will pay off to try and to put effort in a cause you believe in.…

    One of Green’s strengths is creating believable characters – people we could recognize in our own real worlds. They are loveable or despicable, but we adore them all for the very fact that they are “right” – they fit the world he has created and they serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things. The Fault in Our Stars is no exception to this Green-rule. From our main character, Hazel, who is sick but refuses to let that define her, to her parents – who are strong and weak, open and secretive; from Augustus, who is so consciously self-absorbed that he – and we- are actually able to enjoy…

I feel pain everytime I think of him, like I’ve taken out my cannula and have no oxygen, I can’t breath, like I’m slowly slipping away into nothingness.

    2. Hazel considers An Imperial Affliction "so special and rare that advertising your affection for it feels like a betrayal." Why is it Hazel's favorite book? Why is it so important that she and Gus learn what happens after its heroine dies? Have you ever felt the same way about a book as Hazel does—that it is too special to talk about?
