A: The book “the fault in our stars” made me look introspectively, and connect the character’s lives to my own. The character’s struggles with mortality and living life to the fullest made me reflect on my life and wonder if I am truly appreciating it and experiencing all life has to offer. I also made the connection between the author’s inability to answer Hazel’s questions about the book, and how there were no answers for the problems in Hazel’s life. She was frustrated that there was seemingly no reasoning behind the author’s writing, just like there was no reason she had cancer, or that she was in this situation. Her anger towards the author symbolized a deeper anger that she would never truly “have answers” and that her life would never truly be fulfilled because she was going to die at such a young age.
I didn’t exactly know if you meant meaningful connections within the story or meaningful connections to your person life but I hope this helped!
It is a legend. Legends typically contain a small sliver of truth, but they become misconstrued and distorted over time.
"A legend contains some facts and becomes exaggerated to the point that real people or events take on a 'larger than life' quality. In contrast, a myth isn't based on fact, but is symbolic storytelling that was never based on fact."
- Bismarck Tribune, "Examining the difference between myths and legends"
"... It was an epoch-defining moment in their distant past. As the historical sources - Herodotus and Eratosthenes - show, it was generally assumed to have been a real event."
- BBC Culture, "Did the Trojan War actually happen?"
