Author Uses Craft To Reveal Character

For the past couple of days I have been reading  The Fault In Our Stars. It is a book about a 16 year old girl name Hazel who has lung cancer. So far on what I read she feels different. Then a boy name Augustas comes and joins this help group that has kids that battle with cancer in it. Hazel of course thinks he is very attractive and he decides he wants to be friends with Hazel.

I haven't read that much of it but I already can tell that the Author uses lots of craft to reveal character. This book is told in first person through the eyes of Hazel. One example of author's craft that reveals character is the sarcastic tone he uses. When using the sarcastic tone you can get a sense of the personality that Hazel has. Another way that author uses craft to reveal characters is the way he makes Hazel feel about herself. Using imagery you are able to see that Hazel is very insecure because of the way she looks. I think this is going to play an importent role in this book because it seems that when she finds herself hanging around with Augustus she feels more comfortable.

The author also reveals character using literary devices. Literary devices include internal thinking, action, dialogue, and imagery. In the book you can really notice that Hazel does a lot of internal thinking about how she feels. This also is very importent because my seeing in the eyes of Hazel we can get thoughts and how she feels. Another literary device that is super importent in this book is dialogue. This is meaningful because Hazel goes to a center where she talks about her feelings which is very useful to get to know about her and her relationship with the other characters.
