The Fault in our stars is a fiction book written by John Green that shadows the difficult life of Hazel Grace Lancaster, who suffers with thyroid cancer, and for that reason, she walks around accompanied by an oxygen tank. Hazel squanders her days at home watching TV with her parents, which is why her mom hustles Hazel to attend a cancer support group, to kindle friendships and engage a social life. Even though Hazel was reluctant to attend the support group, she goes anyway to make her parents delighted.

Despite the exceedingly painful and stressful scenes that we read on the pages, the movie decided to leave out Gus’ health declining for off screen so we weren’t able to see how appalling Gus’ health was becoming. Throughout the hard time, Isaac and Hazel would rely on each other indefinitely throughout the book, they would play video games and hang out together constantly. The book reflected about Isaac and how there were always there for each other, and in the movie, Isaac wasn’t giving as much screen time and therefore we assumed
