Recommended: Theme of life and death in literature

Enjoy it When You Can “The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.” This quote by Ayn Rand teaches you to not waste life and die but instead to enjoy life. This quote is reflected in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green through the main characters of the book. Hazel Grace Lancaster, a seventeen year old girl with thyroid cancer is forced by her parents to go to her support group which is a gathering of teens battling cancer. Hazel is a normal teenage girl who hates to go to support group, but one day during her support meeting she meets a guy named Augustus Waters. Augustus had osteosarcoma which caused him to lose a leg and came to support group to support his friend Isaac, who is losing …show more content…

Isaac has eye cancer and goes to support group for support with his cancer just like Hazel. Recently, Isaac got one eye removed due to cancer and only had one eye he could see out of left. At one support group meeting Isaac had some news to mention, “...’It’s looking like I have to get surgery in a couple of weeks, after which I’ll be blind. Not to complain or anything because I know a lot of people have it worse...’” (page 10). Isaac knew that he was going to be blind for the rest of his life, and he did not complain because he knew many people have cancer worse than he does. Isaac did not let life and his blindness take over him, and instead lived life to the fullest. Isaac was dating a girl named Monica, who he loved. Monica told him that she would always be there for him. After his surgery though, Isaac’s heart got broken by Monica and he became very upset because she told him that she would always be there for him. Augustus had a good idea for revenge on Monica...so Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac got together. They egged Monica’s house and even though Isaac was blind and he missed a lot, he still lived life and enjoyed it. Isaac did not let his struggles hold him back. Augustus Waters also lived life and did not let his struggles hold him

  • Morality In O Brother, Where Art Thou?

    1024 Words  | 3 Pages

    O Brother, Where Art Thou? was phenomenal, and I found myself laughing an abundance of times throughout the movie. After viewing the film and the video essays, I agree that part of the reason why this story is truly successful is because Joel and Ethan Coen play with morality and in some ways, punish the characters repeatedly. Every time that something good occurred for a character, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next bad thing to follow. I feel that their constant play on morality kept the audience 's attention and left them wanting more. It also added a more humorous aspect, as Everett, Pete, and Delmar would grow confident and let their "seven deadly sins" (i.e. Everett struggled with pride) arise once again when they

  • The Message of Moral Responsibility in To Kill a Mockingbird

    1555 Words  | 4 Pages

    Not only is To Kill a Mockingbird a fun novel to read, it is purposeful. Harper Lee wrote the novel to demonstrate the way in which the world and its people should live together in harmony through a basic moral attitude of treating others with respect and kindness. The novel received the Pulitzer Prize in 1960, which places it among the best adult novels ever written; although it achieved this high recognition, today’s primary readers are adolescents. However, at the turning of the twenty-first century, one might wrongfully assume Harper Lee intended To Kill a Mockingbird a novel for adolescents and ignore its lessons for adults. According to “’Fine Fancy Gentlemen’ and ‘Yappy Folks’: Contending Voices in To Kill a Mockingbird,” by Theodore Hovet and Grace-Ann Hovet, Lee’s work is important because she does not supply the normal assumptions most in America harbor regarding the origins of racism. To the contrary, they argue that “Rather than ascribing racial prejudice primarily to ‘poor white trash’ (qtd. in Newitz and Wray), Lee demonstrates how issues of gender and class intensify prejudice, silence the voices that might challenge the existing order, and greatly complicate many Americans’ conception of the causes of racism and segregation” (67). Reading To Kill a Mockingbird provides its audience with a basic moral code by which to live and encounter individuals who appear different or make choices unlike those made by the mainstream populace. Therefore, this novel becomes part of our moral culture; regardless of age, people learn from the moral codes taught by defense attorney Atticus Finch, his children, and his community.

  • Influences On John Green's Life

    1284 Words  | 3 Pages

    After Green graduated college he decided that he wanted to be an Episcopal priest so he started working at a divinity school at the University of Chicago and worked as a chaplain at a children’s hospital in Ohio. As a chaplain, he counseled families that had children who had died or were dying. This affected Green and encouraged him to write a book about sick kids but didn’t write it until later in life. Green said, “But I was so angry, so furious with the world that these terrible things could happen, and they weren’t even rare or uncommon, and I think in the end for the first ten years or so I never could write it because I was just too angry, and I wasn’t able to capture the complexity of the world. I wanted the book to be funny. I wanted the book to be unsentimental. After meeting Esther, I felt very differently about whether a short life could be a rich life”(Braun 30-31). In 2009, Green met Esther Grace Earl at LeakyCon, a convention in Boston for fans of the Harry Potter series. Esther Grace Earl was a fifteen-year-old girl with thyroid cancer and stayed in touch with Green for a while but later died at the age of sixteen. Green was inspired by the way Esther lived her life, humor, and strength which inspired the character of Hazel Grace Lancaster in The Fault in Our Stars (Braun 29). Hazel is a sixteen-year-old girl that has thyroid cancer, has to depend on an

  • Morality In The Light Between Oceans By M. L. Stedman

    1335 Words  | 3 Pages

    Morality is an abstract concept that continues to confuse people worldwide, a concept that is accompanied by the image of a compass. However, people believe that morality is a generalized system, but then how are morals symbolized by a compass if most compasses are different? The answer is obvious in M. L. Stedman 's The Light Between Oceans where the author communicates that morality is not defined in black and white terms, but is rather a blurred shade of grey. Stedman gives readers this answer through the actions and reactions of Tom and Isabel, Hannah, and Lucy on the decision made to keep Lucy on Janus Rock. The decision that rocks an entire town is made by Tom and Isabel.

  • A Satisfactory Moral Theory

    919 Words  | 2 Pages

    James Rachels expresses his thoughts on what a satisfactory moral theory would be like. Rachels says a “satisfactory theory would be realistic about where human beings fit in the grand scheme of things” (Rachels, 173). Even though there is an existing theory on how humans came into this world there is not enough evidence to prove the theory to be correct. In addition to his belief of knowing how our existence came into play, he also has a view on the way we treat people and the consequences of our actions. My idea of a satisfactory moral theory would be treating people the way we wish to be treated, thinking of what results from our doings, as well as living according to the best plan.

Everyone is unique due to our individual experiences and backgrounds that make us who we are and shape our interpretations of the world around us.

The understanding of what it means to do something properly versus what it means to do something morally differs from person to person as a result of the inexhaustible amount of factors that affect our ethical standpoint. While it is possible to act both morally and properly, it is more often that people choose to act one way over the other due to the circumstances. The difference between
