In this novel, Hazel is who is a cancer patient is forced by her parents to join a support group and during this time she fell in love with an amputee who was an ex-basketball who was also in the support group. This portrays Hazel as a perfect lover.

Hazel portrays her kindness as a character and the concern she had for Augustus who was then her boyfriend. Hazel had the virtue of kindness in her as she recognized and accepted Augustus for who he was. They were helpful and supportive to each other and nothing was expected in return. They helped each other to make themselves happy by “opening up and becoming part of the group” (Margules, 12).

From the novel, it is true to say that Hazel was a caring girl to both her parents and to her boyfriend. Hazel said to her mom “I refuse to attend support group” (Margules, 7). She did not want to attend the support group. She did it for her parent rather than herself. This shows an act of caring. She was tender and kind-hearted because she embraced the act of taking care of her boyfriend when he fell ill.

Hazel was a loving girl to her parent “I love u too mom” Hazel said (Margules, 8). Her heart was filled with love since she showed great care. She was affectionate, devoted and solicitous throughout. She demonstrated her act of love throughout even in the support group despite each disability that was as a result of cancer. She loved Augustus even though he was a cancer patient just like her.

Through the novel, Hazel has been able to portray her acts of love, kindness and care despite being a cancer patient. Hazel plays a significant role that despite the challenges that one might be going through it should not be a limitation to do good or love. This makes Hazel a perfect lover to all including her parents and Augustus.
