Reasoning for Writing-The Fault in Our Stars
I just finished The Fault in Our Stars. This was a great book. In my opinion the author's reasoning for writing this book is to live every moment like it's your last, also to never underestimate the possibilities of what could happen. This story opened my eyes to realize that anything could happen. Hazel Grace was a girl with a terminal toomer and her boyfriend Gus was in remission. Gus always thought that he would be okay for the rest of his normal life (with the acception of a prosthetic leg). That was until he was later diagnosed with cancer that was all over his body and his cancer became more serious and uncurable than Hazel. So, remember never to underestimate yourself because what you think may never happen always could come up and bite you in the long run.

Cancer Perks
By: Annie Backs
Hazel Grace was an average 13 year old until she was diagnosed with a terminal lung tumor. Although it is terminal she has managed to live 3 years with this thing slowly killing her. Hazel was taken out of school and called herself a homebody, reading books all day, going to the hospital when sick, and going to support group with other cancer survivors and fighters. One day her friend Isaac brought a friend named Augustus Waters... Gus was everything that Hazel could ever imagine and he was staring her way... Hazel went over to watch a movie at his house and after that they began going out continuously. Gus was a cancer survivor as well he had a tumor in his leg and it had been amputated. The couple were connected by a book and they dreamed of meeting the author. When diagnosed with cancer, patients are awarded with a wish; they can use this wish to travel anywhere they would like to go. Gus hadn't used his wish yet so he decided to take Hazel to Amsterdam where the author lived. Only to find out that the author didn't officially agree to tell them about the rest of the book. But, in the end they realized it didn't matter the book had brought them together and they were happy.
The Fault In Our Stars- By: John Green was a great book! I recommend it to anyone, it's one of those books that anyone could enjoy and learn from.
