(3rd tri) The Fault In Our Stars(8)


I think that John Green is a very good author so I wanted to know what lead him to being such a great author. I found out that John Green graduated from Kenyon College in 2000. He graduated with a major in English and Religious Studies. He was also bullied all the time as a kid and they made his life miserable. He was inspired to write The Fault In Our Stars because after he graduated in 2000, he was working as a student for 5 months in children's hospital. All the working he did in children’s hospital made him realize all the really bad and the life-threatening illnesses that some people have. The kids at the hospital are what caused him to write The Fault In Our Stars, they inspired him because of the lives they had.
