Entry Four: Summer Project


An Abundance of Katherine’s
-John Green


I picked this book spasificly out of all of the Printz Award Winner books because. I love the author John Green and after reading his book The Fault In Our Stars I felt like I should read another one of his great books. So I read the back of the book, it seemed quite interesting so I thought I should read it. Have dated 19 girls with the name Katherine and every single one of them dump you kinda seems quite interesting. I would specifically say that people who like are into love stories and stuff kind of like that could get to read the book and end up enjoying it greatly. I also think people who like john green books most likely will end up liking the book because john green has this seartain kind of writing about him and it just makes the books pretty good. 

Entry Three: Summer Project


An Abundance of Katherine’s
-John Green


“I figured something out. The Future is unpredictable.” Colin had told his friend Hassan. I think this quote is hooking because in the story Colin was trying to predict his future and change it. All he wants is to not be broken hearted and date anymore katherine’s. When he ends up meeting Lindsey things change for him. He starts falling for her and realizes that the future can’t really be predicted. He never really thought that when he met Lindsey that he would fall for her but well he did.  He stoped ending up trying to change his future and well one day ended up telling her his feelings for her and she ended up telling him her feelings for him. His future ended up changing for the better instead of the worse and he ended up going to collage shortly after that summer was over and he wasn’t so depressed anymore and he ended up happy. 

Entry Two: Summer Project


An Abundance of Katherine’s
-John Green

Colin wants to try to be a “genius” but has yet to become one. He’s just graduated from high school and his resent girlfriend, Katherine just broke up with him. He’s got this weird thing for girls with the name Katherine and sadly to say they all tend to break up with him…all nineteen of them to be exact. For this as I would say ‘Last Summer’ before he goes off to collage he wants to try to break the streak. No more breakups and no more Katherine’s. Colin’s best friend Hassan has brought up the chance to go on a road trip together during the summer, which could be great for helping finding someone that’s not a Katherine to date and also to maybe help Colin get over his depression a bit.

Entry One : Summer Project




An Abundance of Katherine’s
-John Green

    In the nice book called An Abundance of Katherines by john green there are only three main Characters. Colin Singleton, he is the true main character and what the story is mostly about. Then there’s Colin’s best friend named Hassan Harbish, He’s the one friend that try’s to convince you to do many things like for example go on a trip. Last but not least there’s Lindesy Lee Wells, she works at a tourist attraction about this guy that’s suppose to be her grandfather. Colin just got out of high school he gets dumped again, for the nineteenth time and yes all the girls were named Katherine. They all just seem to dump him for some odd reason. He’s trying to accomplish that before he goes to collage he will break the Katherine streak and the breakup streak.  Hassan he’s Colin's best friend, he wants to help Colin try to break the streak of breakups along with the katherine’s. Then there's Lindesy; She works in Gutshot Tennessee at the factory. Lets just say this is were Colin and Hassan end up meeting Lindesy.

The Fault in Our Stars : Summery

Lately ive been reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Also ive been watching afew of his youtube videos but anyways back to the book. Ive gotten quite addicted to this little book. I feel like the characters are reall. I wish they where reall atleast. The lead girl named  Hazel Grace Lancaster wasnt your tipical 16 year old girl. She didnt go to highschool, She didnt have truthfully anyfriends, and well shes inlove with this book and it litterly as she says but not word for word but it litterly plays out her hole life. Shes read that book so many times its unreall. Her mother thinks that shes depressed and so shes making her go to these cancer sapport groups. Oh before i get into this more i have to explain something. Shes not your normal cancer pashent. She has stage 4 Thyroid Cancer. Shes on this drug that not many people are put on and if they are put on it most of the time it dosnt work. But for her case its working. She has already in collage and trys to take classes in the morinings. Anyways back to where i was. Her mother has in a way forced her to join the sapport group. She dosnt really like it there. The buildings in the shape of a cross and they are sitting in a circle in the bacement and right smack in the middle or as they call it "Jesus's Heart." One day this kid Isaac from sapport group who has cancer in his eyes and already had one eye removed and is going to have to get the other one removed brought his dear friend Augustus Waters to sapport group. He kept looking over at Hazel and she never new why. When they went around the circle she found out he had cancer or may still have cancer but it ended up taking one of his legs. Shortly after that sapport group Hazel was waiting for her mother outside when she sall Isaac making out with his girlfriend. I guess since he was going to go blind it was ok? But anyways. Augustus came up and stood next to her and they started talking. They ended up becoming close friends and shortly they feel inlove with eachother. My favorate quote that Hazel ends up saying is "I fell inlove the way you fall asleep, Slowly and then all at once." This book gives me so much feelings like one minute im all
happy and giggly the next im crying and upset. Its a good book though. Wait what am i saying its amazing! I love that Augustus ends up using his death with to take Hazel to meet her faveorate author but sadly he wasnt what she hoped he would turn out to be but hey they did have fun while they where there. The movie is coming out soon and i cant wait to see it. So do you want to read the book or watch the movie?
