The author of Hazel’s favorite book responds to her email and says that he would be happy to answer her questions if she could meet him in Amsterdam. She feels that she has to go to meet him in Amsterdam, but then she realized that her parents couldn’t pay for her trip. Augustus suggests her to use her Wish from The Genie Foundation which is an organization that grants sick kids one wish, but unfortunately Hazel used her one wish in Disney land when she was 13.

When I was reading the chapter 5 today two things have grabbed my attention.

First of all, “ That’s part of what I like about the book in some ways. It portrays death truthfully. You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of the sentence”(page 67). In one of my book reaction I said that I was surprised that Hazel has read a book which has no ending million times, and there was no clear explanation for why she is reading this book again and again. However, after I read that quote, I could understand her viewpoint toward reading that book which end in the middle of a sentence.

Secondly, “ Nothing to be gained by worrying between now and then. And yet still I worried. I liked being a person. I wanted to keep at it”.(page 65)

This shows that despite Hazel's suffering and pain, she will fight and will not give up.

I really liked this quote because people should live and think about the moment that they are living in and stop worrying about the days that have not come yet.

When I was reading today there was no important events .The reason behind that it is the end of the chapter (4).However, I felt sorry and sad for Isaac because his girlfriend Monica dumped him in the time that he needs her the most. Monica always promised Isaac that she is not going to leave him, but she did just before his eye surgery which he will become blind after. The rest of the chapter was boring because it is about the video game that Augustus and Isaac was playing , and I am not a video games fan.
