Bullying And How We Can Learn

    This Blog Post Is About An Article Posted On The Website Of Miami Harold

     

      I've just finished reading an article about a victim of a very unfortunate bulling attack while at school. After finishing a football game the student had gotten tackled by 3 of his other teammates.
  
      From this point on he had become to scared to return to football practice and games. He felt he might get attack again. He feared returning because of another anticipated encounter. He was also experiencing severe pain while on leave from the team. He found this to be a broken hip bone from the attack. Once it was clear of the real damage done, he hadn't wanted to return to school until these students had been taken care of. The attackers had been expelled from school and the team.

     He had not been able to return to the team due to his injuries.

     This relates to how bullying is wrong and cruel. Physically this boy was attacked and was not speared a physical aspect of his body. He was left with a broken hip and the constant fear of returning to ay social areas. Bulling can damage many aspects of a person and is shameful. Bulling is a problem and needs to be taken care of because kids experience these kinds of things everyday and no one is ever aware of them. Unlike many children and teens this boy wasn't afraid to confide in a trustworthy adult and this is the lesson that must be taken from this boys story.

The Fault In Our Stars - SPOILERS BEOW DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT READ TFIOS

In TFIOS, John Green introduces two characters Hazel-Grace and Augustus Waters, both with caner. In there own way justice is served and not served for both characters.

For Hazel justice is in a way both served and not served. Hazel wanted to live a normal life and be like others but because of cancer. She was forced to get her GED at 16 after having to drop out of school at 13 because of the severity of her cancer at the time. She had also in a away become a test monkey for a drug that was suppose to help stop the cancer from mutating and doctors used her as a test subject.

Cancer is the blocker of justice and doesn't let Hazel live the life she always wanted. It prevents her from experiencing the thing that are "normal".

But in a way justice had been served because for so long people have loved and talked to Hazel because she had cancer. When she met Augustus he hadn't payed attention to the fact that she had cancer.

Justice is served to Hazel because he shows her that there is a side to her besides the caner and helplessness she sometimes feels and he teaches her that cancer is cancer and she is Hazel and cancer will never be her nor will it ever define her.

Justice for Augusts isn't served at all through the book.

Augustus doesn't live log enough to survive the cancer and show people who Augusts is and that Augustus isn't Cancer, this is what he waned for himself, butt in the book he teaches Hazel to believe that in herself. Before he dies we don't really see this change in him but when Hazel reads his letter to Peter Van Houten we can see that he learns this and is able to show it and prove it to himself.



"My thoughts are stars and I can't fathom to constellations"

"I do, Augustus.
I do"
