5.16.14- Literary Essay- 2

INTRO
Have you ever been afraid to get to close to someone in fear of hurting them? In The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, Hazel Grace Lancaster doesn't want to hurt Augustus Waters by letting him love her.

REASON 1- direct quote
Hazel Grace doesn't want Augustus to get hurt. She tries to explain this to him in many ways. "I'm a grenade, Augustus." She uses a metaphor to represent the fact that when she inevitably dies, she will oblitherate everything around her, including him if he gets too close.

REASON 2- paraphrase
In many scenes when Hazel Grace and Augustus are together, Augustus tries to kiss Hazel or show affection/PDA, and she pushes him away for a reason.
