Hazel & Gus are wonderful characters that had a physical attraction that quickly turned into a strong friendship. Having experienced or in Hazels case still experiencing the hardships of a cancer diagnosis and not knowing when her illness will progress would be a very stressful way to live each day. From the book I believe they both are doing their best to deal with their diagnosis but wish for a healthier, normal life.…
I would describe Hazel as probably being a lower class uneducated female. I would have to take a guess that she is uneducated because of the way that she talks and the fact that she is cleaning out a Howard Johnsons restroom. I also think that she may come from the south from the way she runs words together to form other words. As far as Hazel’s personality goes, there is not a whole lot of information to give me a proper idea as to what kind of person she may be. I would have to say that Hazel is rather sassy with her attitude. I think that the idea of a frog coming out of a toilet and proposing that if she kisses him she will become a princess, in all reality, is quite terrifying. And I find it quite funny of Hazel…
From the very beginning the author shows how confident Hazel is. Hazel sticks up for her brother. In the story it says, “... and the next word out of anyone and i'll be their mother to.” This line shows that Hazel, is confident, because to speak up to someone like that you have to have courage and confidence to show people who is boss. Hazel is great at that.…
This quote “The real heroes anyway aren’t the people doing things; the real heroes are the people noticing things, paying attention” is said when Augustus Waters is writing to Peter Van Houton asking him if he could write a eulogy for Hazel Grace. What Augustus is saying is that Hazel never noticed his cancer, what she did do was fall in love with him no matter the circumstances. She payed attention to him regardless his prosthetic leg. Another way of seeing this quote in the book is Peter Van Houton noticed that Augustus waters and Hazel Grace did love each other and wanted to pay it to Augustus to attending his funeral. Van Houten noticed that Augustus went out of his way to make Hazel happy in any way possible.…

When he is in the city he runs into a so called “blind” preacher on the streets. The blind man was preaching that there is a God and that people need to give to the church through him. Hazel was very upset about this and started attempting to preach that there is no God and they need to follow him when he starts a new church without a God. When Hazel goes to the place where he is staying, he finds out the “blind” preacher is staying there too. This really makes the situation worse for Hazel. One night Hazel went into the “blind” man’s room and lit a match to see if he was really blind. He had been lying about it. He was just a crook after people’s money. He was using God to make people feel sorry for him and that would in turn make them give him…
Flannery O’Connor was able to establish humor alongside religion within Wise Blood, which engages the reader more and softens the serious connotation of religion. Hazel’s character is very comedic. O’Connor paints everyone around Hazel as being so attracted to his uniqueness and determination, yet he is easily annoyed and disgusted by each of them. It is so humorous how he hates the mere presence of each character, yet they fall in love with him. O’Connor also included a series of funny quotes using techniques such as word play, metaphors, and undercuts of common Christian beliefs. In this chapter, O’Connor is describing the temptations consuming Hazel’s mind. Hazel is talking about how he can feel God trying to convince him to ask for forgiveness…
