  1. How am I supposed to make this decision? How can I stay without my parents but how do I leave without Adam and teddy? This is the hardest decision of my life to chose to stay and live or let go and die. This one car crash has changed my entire life.

  5. The whole neighborhood gives us odd looks now. Is it that odd not to do Christmas? Don't they understand that we get to avoid all the stress, and hassle? They should envy us.

  6. I'm trying to keep me and Darla alive, it's been hard working in the freezing cold everyday... Plus there isn't much medicine around so if any of us gets sick then chances are we'll die. With the winter getting stronger it's been hard to keep up the crops... We can't waste any wood for anything since once it's gone it's gone, so the house is always freezing. The only doctor in the town is far and low on medicine. I also miss my parents, I haven't seen them in almost a year. I just hope they come back alive

    1. I know how it feels to prove yourself to someone. I need to be able to prove myself to my instructors and the other initiates. I need to show them that i am strong enough to be here. I keep telling myself that I need to keep trying and practice to make it in the faction. You are trying to keep Darla alive, while I am trying to keep myself alive.

  8. I have to prove myself. I decided to join Dauntless. In order to stay in the faction, I have to score in the top 5 out of 9 people. We get scored by how well do in fights and in training. The bottom 4 get kicked out and become factionless. So far, I haven't been doing so well. Hopefully, I'll get stronger and start winning more fights so I can stay in the faction. I know I can move on.

  9. Some new girls got recruited, two of which are my friends, into billings. Cheyenne didn't like this because the way billings did this "traditionally" is that the members of billings would vote on who got to be put in. The headmaster didn't allow that. So now Cheyenne is trying her best to get them kicked out, or even expelled.

  10. I've tried to contact Mr. Peter Van Houten, the author of an "Imperial Affliction" in every possible way. I've sent him many emails requesting him to answer questions I had about his novel. He has never answered any of them. I'm dying to know what happens at the end of the book. This book ends in the middle of a sentence, which makes it frustrating because it leaves the audience with curiosity. Augustus and me want to meet him in person, but how? How will we make it to Amsterdam? - Hazel, The Fault in Our Stars

    1. I like to read too, I hate when authors leave cliffhangers, but I love it also.... If that makes any sense. I hope you and your boyfriend are able to go and see him though.

  11. There it is again. The Giver calls it 'color'. I see it on my friend's hair every now and then. He said it was red. He says he sees all color. I wish to see it someday, too. It's so beautiful.

    1. I might not be in the same situation as you, but i know what its like to face challenges. The things you least desire are the obstacles that hold you back from doing what you enjoy. I haven`t been in any serious altercations, so I don`t really know what its like to be put in that position. I hope in the future things will get better for you. ~ Hazel, The Fault in Our Stars

  14. When i looked out my window i saw a black suv drive by and heard a loud pop sound. My uncle that was watching the car fell back, motionless. My family is in so much danger all the time from my fathers work as head of the mob. The other mob members or my "uncles" shot back at the suv as it drove away. We rushed out and got my wounded "uncle" and gave him immediate medical attention.

  15. I had to decide whether or not to kill all of my classmates after they dumped a bucket of pigs blood all over me at prom right after I was crowned prom queen.They had tormented me for years too so it is a very hard choice.

  16. People say I cant play golf because i am blind. But people say i cannot ride a bike or play the guitar since i am blind, yet i still can, i may not be the best but i can. i feel that as long as i practice and get help it is achievable. - Bogey (Million Dollar Putt)

  17. People think just because I am small means that I can't do something big. Well those people who say that are wrong because I can do something like save the world, or being the next Einstein. As long as you keep trying to reach your goals, and don't worry about what others think about you, you will be successful.

    1. I think that you are right and that even ignored people can make some big changes in a town.

    2. We are similar because people think that i am blind that I cannot do something. I feel that I have shown them that I can do things just because i am blind, like I ride bikes, play guitar, and play golf. - Bogey Million Dollar Putt

  18. So today I found out I can't go to Amsterdam. The doctors don't think I will be able to make it, they don't think I'm healthy enough and airplanes are not good with stage 4 cancer. It's always been my biggest dream to go visit my favorite author. It would be a cherry on top for Augustus to take me. The Fault In Our Stars - Hazel Grace
