“What you must understand about me is that I’m a deeply unhappy person.”
Okay, so this entry is more about John Green as an author and I will use this quote as an example and proof of what I'm saying.
As most of you know he's known for being a misogynist. After reading Abundance of Katherine's I was amazed by how he John Green, wrote of women as no more than sex objects for lonely nerd boys, I kept thinking how could teenagers could like an author that materialize them in such an offensive way. So I read this book, Looking for Alaska to see if he could write about healthy and stable girls. No surprise, this book carried the same stereotype of an insane and unstable women. I kept researching and found out Papertown and The Fault in Our Stars are no different... It's amazing how there's always a lead women character that's sick, sad or pathetic, they carry this impact and thanks to their insanity, the stories have a plot. They're all either fake characters, characterized like shit, or killed off.
After this, I realized how many young teenagers read his books and started to wonder if society was being affected in any way by his sexism. The first think I thought of, was asking my young sister and her friends what they thought of his most famous book The fault in our starts. They all said they've read the book and watched the movie and the interesting part was when I asked them what they thought of the two main characters. They admitted they loved their love story and how much they'd like to be in her shoes, she had a beautiful life even if she died in the end, cancer didn't look so bad. Please re-read their answers, there has to be something wrong with an author that makes little girls want to have a terminal disease because basically what this book is selling the crowds is: by having a terminal disease, feeling sick and having depression a boy will come to kiss your scars and love you endlessly. I'm sorry but this doesn't happen, boys don't want a wrecked girl that thinks that depression is 'cool' and see's herself as a sex object.
And of course, young girls don't see this because he sweet talks you into wanting to become the main characters in his fictional novels by covering this stereotypes with love stories full of sentimental points of view from the boy. This also goes to the boys, with this specific book, all it's telling them is find a broken girl and you can fix her insanity. This is not true, no one will change because you ask them, when they decide to get better they do it for themselves and no one else... I would know about that one, trying to fix someone you love but you're only hurting yourself by infecting your mind with all their problems.
So to be clear, John Green is a bullshit author that see's women as sex objects and should try not to make a story that involves racism.
Recede
to go or move away; retreat; go to or toward a more distant point; withdraw.
He receded our world forever.
Coarse
Composed of relatively large parts or particles
The beach had rough, coarse sand.
Hasten
To cause to move or act swiftly
The guard hastened him out of the room.
Titilate
To stimulate by touching lightly; tickle.
He titilated her soft hand.
Slumped
To fall or sink heavily; collapse
She slumped, exhausted, onto the sofa.
