It seems as if every girl in America, including me, is in love with this man, Ansel Elgort, or better known as Augustus Waters in the movie, Fault in Our Stars, based on the book by John Green. Some call him the new Ryan Gosling, who played Noah in The Notebook. Why is everyone obsessed with him, you may ask? Well the best answer I could come up with is he is the dream boyfriend. Even when he knew his days were very numbered, he spent those days making sure he made a girl, with less numbered days then he, smile and laugh every time he got the chance. What girl wouldn't want an Augustus Waters? His witty and humorous personality made anyones day near him. He seemed fearless, yet was afraid of airplanes, he seemed eternal, yet had a very small amount of days left with us on planet earth, he was so surprising, yet so predicable.
There are 313 pages in The Fault In Our Stars. We don't meet Gus until page 8. He never says a word until page 11. He leaves us on page 261. That is 253 pages where we meet him until he leaves, within those 253 pages he is physically in only 172 of those. It only took 172 pages of a 313 page book to have every person that read the book fall in love with him, and never look at love the same again.
We will never know what the future holds, Gus followed this rule of life with a passion. His love Hazel Grace, not so much, she never thought anyone could change that either, until she met Gus at a cancer support group, then slowly throughout those 172 pages began to believe what Gus loved about living in the moment, and being a feather in the wind. He was always so straight forward to people, unlike most people are today, most hide behind lies and over-exaggerations, Gus frowned at those kind of people. No matter how crappy or weak he felt that day he put all his energy and strength into his love, Hazel Grace.
I do not know if there is an Augustus Waters even really exists in this world, but if there is an Augustus Waters on planet Earth the world is love with you.
“I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars (Gus)
