Amsterdam

     When Hazel received the e-mail she called Augustus immediately and told him the good news, and Hazel and her family prepared for the big trip. On the plane Augustus told Hazel that he loves her and that there is nothing she can do about it. Once they arrived Augustus and Hazel went to dinner to a fancy restaurant and Peter Van Houten paid for it. The next morning they were supposed to meet Van Houten and when they arrived it was not what they expected. When the man opened the door he was drunk and shut the door in their face. Hazel and Augustus were shocked but eventually his assistance , Lidewij Vligenthart let them in. When Hazel started asking Van Houten the questions he tried to change the subject and started talking over them. Finally Hazel exploded when Peter offended her saying something about her illness, she screamed and stormed out.

EVERYONE WHEN PETER VAN HOUTEN SAID OFFENSIVE THINGS
TO HAZEL.

" Nights like this one didn't come along often, and I wanted to remember it" (Green, 165)

     The quote if from when they were at dinner and the waiter asked if they wanted some more champagne and she said no because she didn't want to be drunk. I liked the quote because even though she has terminal cancer and she fully accepts it she still has good nights like that one and she still believes that more nights like this one will come along and she has hope.


" I could not tell if Peter Van Houten was kidding." (Green,188)

     This quote is from when Hazel was trying to ask serious questions but Peter Van Houten kept avoiding them in such mean way. The author put this quote because he wanted to let the reader know how disappointed Hazel was with her encounter with who she though was the world's most intelligent, honest and understanding person. In the quote we clearly see that Hazel was in denial of what had turned from the best day of her life to the worst.

      I am really enjoying the book it is exciting to see how they're romance continues and how they get to know parts of each other no one knew. I like John Green book's specially because they tell you things without even telling you directly. I love the way the author makes you learn new personality traits about the characters without the need of listing them or actually telling you. The book so far is great, the speed is perfect and the characters are alive which makes the tory ten times better.
