Original scripting from modmad on tumblr. I saw it and wanted to do it so I did it. I'm sorry.
Finished The Fault In Our Stars, this morning...
Done with everything for always.
Just finished chapter thirteen...
So, I started reading 'The Fault In Our Stars' this morning...
I got to chapter five about an hour ago and contemplated reading on... in the end I decided to take a break. Mostly because I think in a very strange way when it comes to books and thought, "Wow, the last sentence of chapter four is a good place to take a break. Just to savor it." so I did. I've been thinking about it and... Augustus is pretty perfect. Honestly though, I think Issac is my favorite character so far... there's just something about him. His one glass eye, his moods, his friendship with Augustus, his relationship with Monica, Always, his view on love. I hope he becomes a main because I'd like to know more about him.
Aside from Isaac, Hazel is painful-- in a very good way. If that makes any sense? A refreshing painful. I can't think of any other way to describe her outside of that and you can take it any way you want to. Augustus, simply put, if he were a real person I'd be his best friend. I really do enjoy his character. Not just because he's attractive (even though he REALLY is) but he is very something that I can't place. I like it, how I feel about all of these characters for the most part... that I can't really define them. 'Cause I feel that is humanity, that is existence, that is us, we cannot really be defined.
Though, Kaitlyn I'd say represents insecurity to me. In a novel, full of those who have every reason to be insecure she worries about her too long second toe. That just reminds me of how easy it is to find flaws within ourselves... such tiny little things that we'll build our lives around. So yes, in my opinion Kaitlyn defines insecurity. As I read about her she just didn't seem real, wasn't very tangible and I enjoyed that. I like when characters seem to take the shape of something that we can't really see. She was complicated but easy to grasp, almost inhuman but TOO human. Complicated but simple and easy to forget...
What am I getting at? So far, I'm really enjoying this. TFIOS Is the first John Green book I've ever read, and it is reawakening my love for reading like a flame ignites on a match. I'm in love, pretty much. I'm finding that I don't very much enjoy flat out happy stories with happy endings or flat out depressing tales with shattering ends. I like a journey, a reality, characters who suffer but come out on the other end with a kind of victory or realization, even if it isn't a huge one.
This is why I like, Perks, Les Mis, The Time Travelers Wife, 500 Days of Summer, Some Girls Are, etc.
Storytelling is an art, be it in movie or literary form. Honestly, video games, Anime and Manga are included in there too. I don't know where I'm going with this... Anyway, I love TFIOS so far. I don't know why, but if I had to put a face to Issac, I'd want it to be Ezra Miller.
