Sometimes you don't realize you're actually drowning when you're trying to be everyone else's anchor.

Face to Facei

Face to Face

I listen to five different types of race. All of them have experienced something big in their life that had to do with fear and anxiety. They lose sleep and families worry about one another. I know that I would be really scared if I was involved in a serious situation. I know that the twin towers were a mess and awful to deal with but I barely remember it and I was miles away.

It said that I can deal with both fat people and thin people.

The Fault in Our Stars: Reading Response three

The Fault in Our Stars
More about the book I am reading The Fault in Our Stars for my book blog. I really enjoy reading it. Although when Hazel and Augustus went on their big trip to see the famous author Mr. Peter Van Houten, it didn't turn out as well as they would have liked. It didn't turn out the way I would of liked for it to of either.

They arrived and Mr. Peter Van Houten was drunk off of his butt. Augustus and Hazel did not know how to react at all. The authors secretary welcomed them in just fine, but as soon as the author saw them he wanted them gone as soon as possible. He just could not seem to put his alcohol down.

Hazel was not going to put up with what Mr. Van Houten any longer. She stood up and  wanted to walk away. Gus said, "is this some  kind of performance. " The author gave some silly speech, and was being sarcastic about everything.  Gus and Hazel left and were so disappointed in what he had to say.

The secretary felt bad for them and offered to show them around town. They really wanted to make their crappy day better. They enjoyed it, and went to a cool museum, but unfortunately their elevator was broken and because Hazel has lung cancer it is really hard for her to manage to get up the  stairs. When she made it to the very top her and Augusts kissed for the first time ever and their bad day didn't seem so bad after all.

This scene was very important in the book because it was the first time Hazel and Augustus kissed.

The Fault in our stars
 
 
Reading response two
 
 
 
I am still reading The Fault in Our Stars, and it just gets better with ever page. The way John Green writes seems to really catch my attention. He writes about the connection that Hazel and Augustus have with one another. Augustus loves to flirt with Hazel and Hazel loves him to flirt with her. She gets excited every time he texts her. Augustus tries to be really romantic to Hazel. He basically lives each day to try and please Hazel.
 
Hazel enjoys reading, but she re-reads the same book, because it is simple her favorite. Augustus wants to get a taste of the book so he reads it. Hazel has tried to contact the author of her favorite book, but just can not seem to find him. Well Augustus does some further research and finds the author's secretary's number. Hazel gets beyond happy that she must go out and write him. Her dream is to meet him so Augustus makes her dream come true. Even though her mom tells her that money is super tight. Augustus says, "So I talked to the Genies, and they are in total agreement. They said Amsterdam is lovely in the beginning of May." and he made her wishes come true. He gave his wish that the people with cancer get away to Hazel. They pack and drive there with Hazel's mom. They see the town and get to go on a very expensive date. Augustus tells Hazel that he loves her for the first time.

The movie that was made this year about this book really does a fantastic job with reacting the dinner part.
