There’s a reason The Fault In Our Stars by John Green spent 119 consecutive weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. There's also a reason that even before the movie came out millions of people are planning to buy there tickets. The book appeals to any age reader and is an amazing story.
John Green spend time in Children's hospital getting to know children with cancer before and after he wrote the book. His character Hazel fears her oncoming death will affect will ruin her parents. Green used this because that is how many of the real children he met with cancer felt. Green describes the children and teenagers with cancer as,“They’re awesome and fun to talk to and hang out with. They have an interesting perspective on adolescence. I don’t want to generalize, but lots of teenagers are funny in the way that I like to be funny. There’s a fair amount of gallows humor.” His first hand experience with the children allowed his book to truly be touching to the reader. During the time Green wrote the book he had his first child. Getting married and having children showed him the importance of a parent and child's relationship. This was definitely expressed in the book.
Great job showing your originality by using different fonts and the white highlighting. I also like how you made the connection between the large mass of ticket sales and John Green's interactions with kids in the hospital.
