                                                      The Fault In Our stars Chapter 18-20

In chapter 18 In The Fault In Our Stars Hazel receives a phone Call from Augustus who tells her his at the gas station and needs her help. When Hazel gets to the gas station she finds Augustus in his car covered in vomit and infected G-Tube. Hazel decides to call 911 and waits for an ambulance to come for Augustus. Later on Augustus tells Hazel how much he hates himself and wants to die. While Augustus and Hazel wait on the ambulance Hazel reads Augustus a poem while he looses conscious. In chapter 19 In The Fault In our Stars Augustus is on bed rest where hazel goes over to comfort and make sure he's okay. Hazel also gets to know Augustus family a little bit more as she does Augustus Dad whispers to Hazel and tells her he thanks god for her everyday. In Chapter 20 In The fault In our Stars Augustus asks Hazel to right an eulogy for him an asks her to come to the Literal Heart of Jesus, as Hazel tells her parents her parents tells her she doesn't need to be spending all this time with Augustus she disagrees with them she decides to leave as her parents continued to protest then before she leaves she tells them Augustus can die at any given moment. She arrives at the Literal Heart Of Jesus to find Augustus in a wheelchair He tells her he wanted to have a prefuneral for himself and wanted to her and Issac to do his eulogy. Issac goes first on Augustus eulogy and talks about how Augustus is an arrogant bastard and starts to cry. Hazel goes up next on Augustus eulogy and burst out in tears also as she talks about her and Augustus infinities.

A quote that is powerful to me in these two chapters is when Augustus dad tells Hazel “I thank God for you every day, kid.” This quote is powerful to me because I know Augustus dad feels so excited he has someone like Hazel on Augustus side all the time because she knows its difficult on all of them dealing with Augustus sickness but to have the great support of Hazel means a lot to them.

                                                The Fault in our stars chapter 15-17

In chapter 15 In the fault in our stars Hazel's and Augustus parents all decide to have dinner at Augustus house, where they all have a good time and talk about the food they had at oranjee in Amsterdam. Later on Augustus is rushed to the ER where hazel goes to visit him there Augustus mom tells Hazel we love you Hazel but this right is a family time, but hazel decides to go sit in the waiting room for Augustus. A couple weeks Hazel and Augustus go to an art park where  they sit and drink champagne out of winnie-the pooh cups. In chapter 16 Hazel goes over to Augustus house where her and Augustus hang out , Augustus tells hazel he wants to write a sequel to an imperial affliction but he can't find the right time because his always tired. Hazel later on tells Augustus she wish she could do something so Augustus can save her and so Augustus can feel like a big difference. In chapter 17 In the fault in our stars Hazel goes over to Augustus house where she finds out that Augustus used the bathroom on himself in the middle of the night , Augustus was embarrassed that she found out about him wetting himself. Later on in the chapter Augustus tells Hazel when she dies he wants her to have a special obituary But hazel tells him she wants him to write it for her.

A powerful quote that means a lot to me in these two chapters is when Hazel states in chapter 17 " You say you’re not special because the world doesn’t know about you, but that’s an insult to me. I know about you.” This quote is powerful to me because Hazel is telling Augustus it doesn't matter who knows how special you are all that matters is that i know. This quote can speak out to a lot of people who feels like there not special because they have an issue going on with them it doesn't who criticizes you or who judges all that matters is that you have that one special person by your side who knows how wonderful you are to them.

The Fault in our stars chapter 12-14 contained Augustus and Hazel trip to Amsterdam there where they met  Peter Van houton who was incredibly rude to them and who had a very bad drinking problem. later on in that chapter Augustus and hazel where invited to Anne franks house by Mr.Van houton assistant Lidewij where Hazel and Augustus share their first kiss at the same spot Anne frank shared hers. After they leave from the Anne franks Augustus goes to make love for the first time. Chapter 13 contains very disappointing News this new is Augustus has cancer throughout his whole body. Hazel also finds out Augustus used his cancer wish for their trip to Amsterdam. In chapter 14 Hazel and Augustus are on the flight making their way back home on the flight they decide to have a cup of champagne then Augustus starts having chest pains so he decides to take pills to fall asleep. Later on in the chapter Isaac decides to come over and they all decide to egg Issac's ex-girlfriend Monica's car. While Augustus and Issac egg Monica's car Hazel takes pictures and she finds out those are the last pictures she'll ever take of Augustus. 

A powerful Quote that i would use is the quote used in chapter 12 which states " He took a long drink then grimaced. i do not have a drinking have a drinking problem " This quote reminds me of people who have a serious problem such as a drinking problem or even a drinking problem but there in denial about it. This quote also can be realistic because i know some people who have relatives with drinking problems but there to denial to actually say they do so they make any excuse just to say they don't. Drinking problems can also cause a huge problems with the people around you it can cause you to be very harmful and even can cause the people around you not wanna be around you anymore because they probably see it as an embarrassment. People with drinking problems also have a tendency to say anything that comes to mind and that's not a very good thing because sometimes the things you say can be very hurtful to the people around just like how Peter van houton sayed pretty hurtful things to Augustus and Hazel.
