Augustus Waters is missing a leg and Hazel Grace needs to carry an oxygen tank everywhere she goes.
Pg.66 “People talk about the courage of cancer patients, and I do not deny that courage. I had been poked and stabbed and poisoned for years, and still I trod on…” This show how Hazel feels about having cancer and how her life is not the same.
Both suffer and are limited to their teenage life. Augustus waters is limited to play sports, like basketball.
Hazel thinks she is a grenade and would soon die. She said "But in fact depression is not side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying"
