Blog Review: Lillian Cheever, WhO KNowS: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

       While reading Lillian's blog post on one of my favorite books, the Fault in Our Stars, one thing really stood out to me. In her blog she said, "I can tell Hazel really cares about her family and what happens to them after she inevitably dies because she is so obsessed with figuring out what happens to Anna’s parents after she dies. An Imperial Affliction ends mid-sentence, presumably because Anna dies, so you never figure out what happens to her family and friends." This really caught my attention. In the three times i have read this book, i have never thought to think about it that way. I knew that Hazel cared very much about her family and others because in the book she says she doesn't want to get close to anyone because she knows when she dies it'll just hurt those she made friends with more than it has to. I know that when she over hears her mother talking about how she won't be a mom anymore, it breaks Hazel's heart. Making sure no one feels a heart break towards her death. To kind of add on to Lillian's idea though, i think she becomes more obsessed with finding the answer when she meet Gus and he kind of teaches her to not be afraid anymore. But there is still that fear because what if Anna's friends all feel so sad they have to go to Therapy for years. What if they all move on and forget about her too soon. Which one would be worse? 
       I think that when Hazel finds out that one of Anna's friends takes in Anna's Hamster, it makes Hazel feel better. Anna's friend was able to take in something they both charishted dearly without feeling too upset and that is why when Hazel gets back from finding that out she is a more able to open herself up more. I feel also that the topper of the social cake for Hazel (SUPER SPOILER AHEAD) After Gus Died, Hazel was looking at his Social Networking Page where meany people posted good memories and special messages to Gus. Hazel noticed she can have a special relationship, share good times and it won't result in some poor girl or boys parents paying thousands of dollars for a therapist, but a few tears and a sweet post about her. 
     I think Lillian and i can both say Augustus Water changed Hazel's life in many ways, but must of all, he made her unafraid of living the life she was given, even if it is the short life she was given.
