From page 69 to 81 John Green
In his book “The Fault in Our Stars”
described what happened to Hazel and Augustus with Peter Van Houten, the author
of “An Imperial Affliction.” Houten,
who is living in Netherland, answered Hazel email and told her that she had
delighted him by her email and questions, which she sent to hem. However, Houten
said that he could not answer Hazel questions by email or by call. Then he told
her that she would be more than welcome to come to Amsterdam and talk to him in
a Café. Hazel felt ecstatic and shouted aloud “What is This Life.” Her mam came
to her and she thought that something bad happened to her. Hazel assured her mam
that she was fine and she was happy from the invitation she had from Houten. Unfortunately,
she noticed from her mam that they do not have enough money for international
travel. What I like from Hazel that she was conscious and understood that her
parents had been paying a lot of money on her health to recover from cancer and
she did not insist more to travel to Amsterdam.
My question:
Do you think it was nice from Hazel that she did not insist more
to travel to Amsterdam to achieve one of her dreams? Do you have similar situation
that you want something but you did not say it because you know it will cost
your parents more than they can?
Hi Majd,
ReplyDeleteIt is so mature behavior that Hazel took. And, if I had been the writer, I would have gone Hazel's house and asked all her questions.
