RATIONALE

“The fault in our stars” written by John Green, emphasizes feeling around guys,
represented by Hazel and Augustus. When they met each other, immediately they had
fallen in love, also they started to live new experiences in despite of they have cancer,
that´s the reason I chose this book.

I will take out characters of “The fault in our stars” from the fantasy to transfer them in
the real world, two mixed worlds. Hazel will believe all situations which happened in the
book are just a dream, but when she meets Augustus she will know it was real, only they
remember it, but other people don´t remind. I will do it because I want that they continue
living together. I am going to write Hazel´s Diary and I will divide it in two parts. Firstly,
when she wrote that she had a strange dream where she was a person with cancer, and
some details. In the next part when she meets Augustus in the hospital one day after this
strange event, and she knows that her dream was real. When they talked about their
impressions, they will interpret that this was the opportunity that they were waiting to
continue their love, also they are going to do it. A diary entry will be the best way to know
Hazel´s feelings, how she finds out what was happening; also what she will do. They will
have the opportunity to continued living like they wanted without their diseases.

TASK

10th Jan 2012

Today I had a strange dream, it looked like so real, briefly, in it I was a person with
cancer, it started when I was 13 years old, for me it was horrible, I can´t imagine my
mom and father’s feeling. One day by the pressure of my mom, I went to a support
group for people with cancer, there I knew a boy, his name was Augustus, but I called
him Gus, we were falling in love, even we traveled to Amsterdam to know my favorite
writer Peter Van Houten, I loved Augustus nevertheless it was only a dream, I only
wanted to meet him again, even if it is just in my dream.

11st Jan 2012

I´ve been surprised and stunned, I really knew him, Gus. Today I was with my mother
in the hospital, because I had my annual health examination, and I needed a blood
test, then I was waiting out of the room because Doctor Maria wanted to talk with my
mother, in this moment a boy told me: “I don´t know why, however I feel we meet us”,
immediately I saw him and he was the boy who I dreamt yesterday; however when I
saw him at first time, I thought “He is the person that was missing in my life”. For a few
minutes we didn´t speak, then he asked me: Hazel Grace Lancaster what happened
with you? Immediately he opened a pack of cigarettes and put one between his lips. In
this moment I ran to give him a big hug.

Nowadays, I don´t know what can happen in the future, all is strange nevertheless I´m
sure that it is too much coincidence to be only a dream; I only wonder how is it
possible? What does this situation mean? I don´t understand, however before today I
felt that one thing was missing in my life, I´m gonna think that it is like a second
opportunity to change what we do in the life. When my mother went out of doctor´s
room, I told her that I am gonna be with my second best friend, in order to know if she
remembered something or dreamt the same as me, however her answer was “You
don´t have a second best friend”, immediately she looked at Augustus, and said “okay,
come back home early”, I think she didn´t remember anything.

After that, we went to Augustus´s house by bus, because he never got his car´s
license. When we arrived, I went to his bedroom to talk more in private. I told him all
about that estrange event and he did the same. Finally we got our conclusion “it is like
an opportunity”. Suddenly he told me “I miss your smile”, in that moment I felt
butterflies in my stomach, and without know we were falling in love again.

The only thing that I know is “we don’t choose the life that we want, we only live and
that´s all”, nevertheless the difference is what you do with what you have, the decision
between resign or live is ours. Today wasn´t only a simple day, I will live as I want, I
won’t live thinking to death, because it didn´t help others. When I returned to my house
I was different, I was not only Hazel, I was a person that has a second opportunity, now
I am going to help other people, as cancer patients, I want to change their sad feelings
the same as I felt in my dreams.
