For this post I will be creating a sound track for my book The Fault In Our Stars. These songs will be chosen by me and I will try to not steal any from the actual sound track for the movie. The first song I think fits in with the book is 'Heavy In Your Arms' by Florance and The Machine. I found this song through one one my friends, because we are using it for a dance. I believe that this song implys directly to Hazel. Because in the song it portrays a lover who thinks they are insufferably heavy for their partner to carry. She doesn't want to hurt them but also cant stop loving them. In the book the last thing Hazel wants to do is hurt the ones she loves. especially Augustus. There is a line in the song that says, "my loves an iron ball, wrapped around your ankels over the the waterfall". This pretty much sums up Hazel and Augustus's relationship. Because they are both sick and one is going to die a lot sooner than the other their love is like an 'iron ball' around the others ankels. But their love is also like 'concreat feet' because it's not going anywhere any time soon.

Another song I like for this book is 'The Last Song' by The All American Rejects. I think this is perfect to descibe Augustus. I cant wirte a lot about is or I'll wind up giving something away. But when you listen to the song and if you've read the book, you'll get why I chose it. And for those of you who haven't read the book, READ IT. Also dont listen to the song then if you haven't goten to the end... it kind of ruins it. But anyway I really like this song for the end of the book.

The worst thing about my book
I did a post earlier that was 'The Best Thing About My Book', but there are also some not so great things happening in The Fault In Our Stars. I think that some things happening can go on the not so good side, like how hopeless this book is. Now it's not like there's absolutly no hope through out the book, but from the begging you kind of get that feeling. Hazel states in the begging that the universe is just made of moleculs and moleculs and that they are just waiting for her to die so they can carry off her soul somewhere into oblivian. She also starts to pull away from Augustus and her parents because she believes that she is just a ticking time bomb waiting to explode and she doesn't want to hurt anybody when she dies.
She tells that to her parents because she explodes one night out of pure emotional disstress. She knows that she is a job for her mom to take care of. She sees the stress that her cancer put on her mom and dad and she hates it. All Hazel thinks is that she is a 'side effect' of cancer just waiting for it to eat her up. In the start of the book she stays in her room most of the time, trying not to be a burdan. As that book goes she starts to come out more but she is still hesitent.
Another thing that sometimes bothers me is the emtional ride the book takes you on. If your like me and get attached to characters in your book, then The Fault In Our Stars, will deffenitly impact you too. The ups and downs that Hazel goes through is non stop. And it's not just her, all the characters in the book have very strong emotions. You feel the pain she feels because of the way John Green discribes it. If your a girl then you develop very strong feelings for Augustus Waters (because lets face it, he's like the perfect guy!). Then the relationship between him and Hazel is just a mess. They get close and cute, then she pushes him away and it hurts. Anyway, besides these few things in my book I really really enjoy it and I don't want it to end. But everything good must come to an end sometime, so until I finish my book have fun reading my blog posts:).
