Okay

    After the Isaac breakdown in Augustus house Hazel went home and waited for Augustus to call her. One night he called during dinner and when Hazel answered she found out that Augustus had sent an e-mail to Peter Van Houten's assistant and she replied so he read it out to her and she couldn't believe it. Hazel eventually sent an e-mail herself asking for some answers. After some days he texted her saying that Isaac had the surgery and that he will be out in a few days. Hazel went to visit Isaac and he talked about how his breakup with Monica matters more than he being blind and then she left. Four days past after Hazel received a response from Peter and the e-mail said that he couldn't answers via e-mail nor de phone, the only way he would get the answers was in person. The only problem with that was that he lived in Amsterdam. Hazel told Augustus the news and he asked her if she still had her Wish from The Genie Foundation but she had used it when she was 13 to go to Disney World. The next day Hazel went to the market with her parent and when she got home Augustus was waiting in the doorstep with some orange flowers, he asked her if she wanted to go to a picnic and she agreed. In the picnic Augustus revealed the hole reason he took her to a picnic, he was going to share his Wish with Hazel since he hadn't use his. He wanted to go to Amsterdam with her and The Genie Foundation was going to make sure Hazel had all the supplies to be safe. She told her mom and she was going to talk to Dr. Maria to make sure it was ok to take Hazel. Days past and one night Hazel was in pain so she screamed and her parents rushed her to the hospital, luckily the tumor hadn't grown and there were no new tumors but her lungs were filled with liquid. She was fine after that but in the next Cancer Team Meeting there was a debate whether or not she was going and after a few days she received a e-mail from Van Houten assistance confirming she will arrive the 4th of May.


WHEN WE KNEW HAZEL WAS GOING TO AMSTERDAM.


                                                                                         


                                                                                     "Maybe okay will be our always" (Green,73)


  This quote is from when Augustus and Hazel were talking on the phone and before hanging up the kept saying "okay" and Monica and Isaac kept saying "always" every time they saw each other and it was the thing Isaac missed the most. So this quote said by Augustus means a lot to the story to the couple since it's a word repeated over and over and it is so powerful in a way i can't explain it's like their thing.




“I'm like. Like. I'm like a grenade, Mom. I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?” (Green, 99)

     The quote stand up to me because as Hazel said this to her parents the author made sure we felt connected to Hazel and feel bad because she really thinks that the people she builds relationships are gonna get hurt when she dies and she feels responsible for saving those people from suffering when she is gone. 

     The book is amazing so far there are not so many books that I'm so hooked up to keep reading even though i already got to my goal, but this one is like that. I fell in love with the characters and even though i have seen the movie while i red it i try to forget about the movie and the actors because in the book there is so much more detail, scenes, and characters that aren't in the movie. For example in the book Hazel has a friend named Kaitlyn and the scene of the hospital were Hazel goes to see Isaac isn't in the movie either and the book like always is way better. The book is awesome I love it like most of all John Green's books.
