I haven't gotten too far into the book yet but The Fault in Our Stars is about a girl, Hazel, who has cancer and is really depressed and is supossed to die. She meets this boy named Agustus and he falls in love with her but she is keeping herself very distant from him and telling him she can't fall in love with him and he can't fall in love with her. I predict that she will eventually open up and realize that she has to live day by day and focus on all the positive things in life verses just constantly being negative.
Hazel seems like the kind of girl who used to be a very happy teenager and just wanted to have fun until cancer became a burden on her life. If I were Hazel I completely understand where she is coming from and why she is feeling the way she feels but I also think that I would look at the situation a little differently then her and I would try to do everything I'd ever possibly want to do before I died. Hopefully as this book goes on and I get more into detail she will become more positive.

Characterization
Clarisse is a teenage girl who just moved next door to a man named Montag. She is a very optimistic girl that always wants to know more in a town where most people don't know much or care to know much. On top of her curiosity she is very confident and bold and isn't embarrassed or hesitant to say what she is thinking. I think Clarisse is different from many people in her society because she thinks differently then the rest, she unlike many people want to know the background knowledge about some things that have seem to go unknown. Montag, her neighbor, is a firemen. Clarisse thinks many people are afraid of firemen but I don't think she personally is.
"Oh they don't miss me, I'm antisocial they say. I don't mix. It's so strange. I'm very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn't it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this." (pg.33, Clarisse)
"Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity. It was a look, almost of pale surprise." (pg.9, Montag)
The way I picture 17 year old Clarisse is a tall, skinny blonde girl who seems very adventurous.
