In the novel The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, many things are unfair. The three teenagers in this book are Isaac, Gus, and Hazel. Each one of them suffers from a different kind of cancer, which is the first thing that is unfair because cancer is uncontrollable and takes over your life. This book shows peaks for the characters but for the most part its a downhill slope.
One example of this book being unfair is when Gus finds out that his cancer has spread everywhere in his body. He is expected not to live much longer. That is unfair on its own; but to make matters worse Hazel and Isaac are now living almost normal lives while Gus is slowly dying. It must feel horrible to have the two people that were fighting your same battle suddenly get better while you get worse. Luckily, they all stick together because they all still are slightly sick and they all struggle daily. Isaac is blind and Hazel carries an oxygen tank everywhere she goes.
Overall, the book is very much unfair to every character. I forgot to mention this but it's unfair to the parents too because their children are the ones dying. This book is a downward slope, though it is very good. I'm almost done with it and im hoping that there will be some sort of happy ending.
