Gosh... I dont know why but I feel like watching The Fault in Our Stars for the second time... It has been two days since I watched the movie and I am still thinking about it... I still get a lump in my throat when I think about how Augustus reveals to Hazel Grace that his cancer is back and Hazel Graces pre-funeral eulogy for him. I guess what makes the story/movie so impactful for me is that the protagonists know that their days are numbered but they still choose to live every day and treasure every second. The fact that Augustus tells his friends to write him eulogies before his death shows that he is resigned to his fate and that courage can exist even in the light of inevitable doom. If I were dying of a terminal disease, I dont think I would be able to display such optimism and appreciation for life... I am so obsessed with the film that I actually went to the library yesterday to borrow the book again. This is my third time reading the novel... And yes, I still get teary-eyed when I read the heart-wrenching parts...
