An Eight Hour Delay

 

The plane landed. My family got off. We checked flight information. Then we sat, discouraged, waiting for a plane that would be eight. Hours. Late. Ugh.

I was sat down on the same nondescript, carbon copied chair that seemed to be in every other airport in the world. As I sat, I wondered why the heck American Airlines couldn’t figure out what was wrong with their handicapped plane.

A cup of slowly diminishing nuts sat next to me, nuts disappearing as my mind turned to mush.  As this thrilling moment in time happened one thought was on loop in my head, this won’t end for another. Eight. Hours. Ugh!

A Fault in Our Stars Review

Hello fellow edublogers! I have just finished reading John Green’s A Fault in Our Stars ,and I thought I might as well write a little review for you guys!

First of all, if you haven’t already read this novel I highly reccomend it.  A Fault in Our Stars is a wonderful book about the cancer stricken lives of Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster.  The two sixteen year olds meet at a cancer support group meeting in the “literal heart of Jesus”, which is a book reference you have to read the book to get.  As soon as they see each other there is something between them.  The two “side effects”, again, you have to read the book to get it, bond over their interests in literature and overall outlook on the world.  The author, John Green, brilliantly puppets the two characters into a great adventure in Amsterdam, conversations that will move you, and a story that will not let you put the book down.

Overall, with well though out characters, an amazing plot, and words I didn’t even know existed, it is one of the best books I have ever read.  It will make you laugh, cry, and quite honestly, make you look at life from a different angle.  John Green has written a beautiful book that everyone should read.  Basically, you will either love it, or not understand a word they say and love it anyway.

 

P.S.  READ IT!
