For this project, I decided to read “The Fault in Our Stars”, a novel written by John Green. This book is about 16-year-old Hazel Grace who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She attends the cancer support group every week, where she meets Augustus Waters, a "very smart and sexy" boy who is currently in remission. They both like each other, their relationship growing and developing throughout the book as they fight cancer together. Along the way, Hazel learns many important lessons about life. To begin with, this story takes place primarily in Indianapolis in the 21st century. The story also takes place in hospitals, in church support groups, and in each other's homes. From this, I can understand when Hazel describes feeling confined: “It was a cloudy day, typical of Indiana: the kind of weather that keeps you cooped up. » In the second half of the story, the setting shifts to Amsterdam, which is the complete opposite of Indiana. Both Augustus and Hazel confess to a sense of freedom, describing how they believe anything is possible. I chose to use a pot filled with water to represent the setting. Because Amsterdam is 2 meters below sea level and is constantly at risk of flooding, it is like a "drowning city", and similarly Hazel could be called of "drowning girl", because the liquid in her lungs is eating away her life. The jar represents his feeling of confinement in Indianapolis, and when I open the lid, it represents his feeling of freedom in Amsterdam. Next, I will talk about the plot of the story. The plot of the story, as I mentioned previously, concerns 16-year-old Hazel Grace who meets Augustus Waters at a weekly cancer support group. They fall in love with each other, their relationship strengthens and blossoms in the middle of a paper... in his room. That is, until she met Augustus Waters. At first she tries to deny her feelings for him, but they become too strong and he eventually teaches her to open up and live her life to the fullest. When Augustus dies, Hazel says she doesn't regret her relationship with him, which also reminds me of the theme that "it's better to have loved than never to have loved." Therefore, I think a key with a lock would be the best symbol to represent conflict. Overall, I think “The Fault in Our Stars” was an amazing but horribly heartbreaking book. There were so many moments where tears were shed, as well as moments where I just had to laugh. The book was quite moving,Works Citedhttp://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2014/apr/03/review-fault-in-our-stars-john-greenhttp://www.dragonfly-site .com/meaning-symbolize.html
