Small things change life

People could be changed by a small business. This happened in the book Me and You and the movie the Fault in Our Stars. In the book, main character who is Lorenzo was changed by his half-sister, Olivia, after the experienced a hard time together. In the movie, Hazel was changed by Gus, her friend and her lover. Their similar situation and Gus’s attitude to death changed Hazel.

Lorenzo used to be a boy who is really smart, not talkative, and introverted. He doesn't care other people's feelings except his parents’ and his grandma’s. He doesn't know how to make friend. He also doesn't know how to control his irritable emotion. All he knows was to pretend to be a popular kid that his parents want him to be. So what he did to make his mom happy was to cheat her. He told his mom that he went to a ski trip with his friends but actually he hired in basement. One day Olivia came to basement and found Lorenzo staying there so he has no way to disguise this secret. Olivia took drug and has nowhere to go so she stayed in basement as well.

During the time they lived together, a huge change occurred on him. He saw his sister suffered from withdrawal so the small hero hided inside him finally appeared. Before this experience, Lorenzo wanted to help those people he loves but he doesn't have enough courage. He became brave and walked out from his small world and started to accept others. He wanted to help and think for those people that he doesn't even care about before. Without Olivia, Lorenzo couldn't have ability to make friend with others.

The movie the Fault in our star shows the same thesis with Me and you. Hazel and Gus are both teenagers who are suffering from cancer. Hazel has to take oxygen career all the time and Gus has cut down a leg. They have similar experience and situation but they keep different opinions of death. Hazel live every day the same: read the same book, lie on sofa, and wait for death. She thinks her life is a mass. However Gus lives every day in his life happily, he does the same thing that other healthy teenagers will do. He enjoys his life. Even though they have difference but they still fail in love quickly. They went to Amsterdam together, challenged them self, did many unbelievable things together.

We all know two cancerous people can never have forever love. Gus died first. Their time together made Hazel understand death is not the ending of a person’s life. It is a new start for those who has loved the died person. She doesn't afraid of death anymore after she experienced Gus’s death. She know that having funeral is not for the died one but for those who are alive a chance to memorize their time. Death is not fearful, enjoy everyday life is always the right thing to do. From this movie, Hazel changed from a girl who given up all hope of live to a girl who is brave enough to challenge her new life.

Both this two movies are full of changes, love, and pain. The changes of Lorenzo and Hazel. Love from Lorenzo to his sister, love from Hazel to Gus. Also, pain from Olivia and Gus. A small thing some time can change your life. Just like Lorenzo and Hazel, the shows of Olivia and Gus give them a whole new view of this world.
