According to a passage from John Green: Star Author, Vlogbrother, and Nerdfighter, “John’s parents taught him to have empathy and to help others. They also taught him to think for himself and to contemplate philosophical topics, such as the meaning of life and what it meant to be a good person” (Braun 11). Furthermore, the author continues to discuss one of John’s most devastating struggles. After the events of 9/11, John had broken up with his longtime girlfriend. Since these events happening within a day of each other, he had fallen apart inside and was eventually diagnosed with depression (Braun 16-17).

Earl was an early fan of Vlogbrothers, who corresponded and began a friendship with Green through the Internet. They remained in contact, and John even attended Esther’s Harry Potter convention, LeakyCon 2009. In August 2010, she passed away to her cancer, upsetting John, however, opening doors to help people be aware of more people like Esther. As he said in an interview with his former employer at Booklist, “...Esther gave me a way into the story that I hadn't found before. Because I thought it was impossible for me to write characters that weren't either sad creatures...they were like fountains of wisdom…” (Cooper). For this genre, a letter from Esther to John about herself would best show her perspective on her terminal illness. Through this, the readers can see how she did not let herself succumb to her struggle, and her battle inspired Green to think of ill patients, not through their disease, however, as human beings. Through his book, The Fault in Our Stars, and several projects in memory of Esther, he has given the ill a voice that they would never have thought they had. Therefore, the letter demonstrates the effect Esther had on John Green’s future work and outlook on
