There are reasons why battling cancer is tearful, falling in love is romantic and why god is so amazing. I will show you where these themes take place in the book.

He fought and won the battle by God’s grace. "I'm like. Like. I'm like a grenade, mom. I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize casualties, okay" (chapter 6, page 99) This quote is very emotional because Hazel doesn't want to make friends with anyone because her cancer is putting her down.

There is because they are in love, want love, or simply need love. “I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.” (Chapter 10, page

    Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks Analysis

    In this book the two main characters Gus (Augustus) and Hazel are both cancer patients who eventually find love in each other by both connecting to this horrendous disease; however, later in the book we find out about how Gus ends up dying leaving Hazel in a depression.

    In the book to Kill a Mockingbird the author shows the reader what it is like to experience many events and emotions in the time. Even though there are a lot of events and emotions, I think that the novel mainly shows experiences of racism, through unfair court cases, racist comments and racist stereotypes. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, unfair court case is just one of the ways racism is portrayed throughout the novel. For example, the quote ‘"He got me round the neck, cussin' me an' sayin' dirt--I fought'n'hollered, but he had me round the neck.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Quotes Analysis

    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Lee helps us to understand as to who are the mockingbirds in the novel she especially wanted us to see Atticus, Boo, and Tom. Throughout the book Lee is able to present to us many valuable meanings, but the one that stands out to everyone is that innocence should be protected, but cannot always be protected. Many characters can be portrayed as mockingbirds throughout the whole novel, but the three that stand out to me are Tom Robinson, Atticus Finch, and Boo Radley.
