1. What did you make of the book's humor? Is it appropriate...or
inappropriate? Green has said he "didn't want to use humor to lighten the
mood" or "to pull out the easy joke" when things got hard. But,
he said, he likes to write about "clever kids, [and they] tend to be funny
even when things are rough." Is his use of humor successful? How did it
affect the way you read the book? Does humor take away from the affection we feel for Hazel or Gus?
2. What was Green's intent with the end of this novel? Do you think it tied up too many loose knots? Do you think it gave too much comfort? Does it truly express loss, after love?
1. the humor of this book is dark but without it it would just be too depressing. it doesn't take away the affection we have for them because they're still dying in the end with or without humor
ReplyDelete2. greens intent in ending the book with a letter from gus was to make it feel like he was still alive.
