Fault in our stars support group

To the unmatched delight of hundreds of thousands of preteen girls around the world, they consummate their love in its terminal grip. But more than anything else, it tries on adulthood. She has no patience for her pre-diagnosis friends, one of whom a character removed from the story in the film adaptation seems to spend all of her time at the mall while Hazel takes courses at the local college. In her spare time Hazel reads a dense, self-reflective book called An Imperial Affliction also dreamed up by Green by a reclusive author named Peter Van Houten, about—how very meta—a teenage girl who is dying of leukemia. Hazel also quietly mocks the Bible-thumping leader of her cancer support group, an acoustic-guitar-wielding dolt. The cancer romance genre is in no way new. Its onscreen iterations tend to range from the corny A Walk to Remember , to the cornier Love Story , ; so do its literary ones.

The fault in Our Stars. The Support Group "I went to Support Group for the same reason that I'd once allowed nurses with a mere 18 months of graduate education to poison me with exotically named chemicals: I wanted to make my parents happy. The Feelings of Support Group This picture is my idea of the way the members of Support Group feel that people who don't have cancer understand them. This relates to Support Group because it is the only place where the members can experience complete understanding from peers and not have to feel isolated because of their disease. The members of the support group all are experiencing various stages and side effects of 'cancer and dying', which I believe has significance towards Hazel and Augustus's declining states of health. In the support group, Hazel and Augustus make comments about feeling pity for the members who pass away or are in their final stages of the disease, which I believe helps them prepare for when they eventually reach those stages in their disease.
