Response (Ch.15-Ch.20)

Today's part, unlike all proceeding, mirrors the horrible side of having a chronic disease. one can see how the human body is literally degrading against the person's will. In this part, Gus, who was always charming, is no longer able to take care of himself. In different parts of today's reading, one almost feels Hazel's inability to say what ought to be said. Her experience is collectively shared by all human beings who accompanied a sick relative.

generally speaking today's part is really sad and devastating !

  2. Aging and physical death are inevitable no matter how hard we human beings try to stay young and strong by investing huge money on health care and cosmetics. But, we humankind ought to have a purpose for living.

  3. I like the sentence " Gus, who was always charming is no longer able to take care of himself." This is always happens with them and there are many stories talk about that. I would like you to tell me more about it.
