I think Peter Van Houten wrote the book “An Imperial Affliction” because he understand what the patients have forced with cancer. He is sympathise with patients with cancer and he writes books for people to better understand what the patients has been through. The book title ” An Imperial Affliction” has show it details that cancer makes them hurt a lot but the patients still hopeful that one day their illness will be cured.
According to a book “The fault in our stars” of John Green. When i read this book, i had more knowledge about cancer’s patients. The patients have been force the cancer illness. Nowadays, cancer is still an illness that most of the doctors can not cure it completely. The title of the book ” The fault in our stars” of John Green, i think “The Fault in Our Stars” comes from a line in a play called Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. The line goes: “The fault, dear Brutus is not in our stars / But in ourselves, for we are underlings”. This quote is suggesting that nothing is to blame for all of the world’s evil-nature but ourselves. John Green is suggesting something different- sometimes it is up to fate. Hazel never wanted to have cancer, Augustus never wanted to lose a leg,and Isaac never wanted to lose his eyesight. The whole novel is swarmed with innocent teenagers who had their life destroyed by an inevitable illness they had no input in. John Green wanted to show that despite the fault in our stars, people can still survive.
Jessie,
The first part of this question is left unanswered. I asked you to consider what the title, “An Imperial Affliction” might mean. To do this, you would have had to look up both of these vocabulary words, figure out the meaning, and then consider how the title might best reflect the meaning of the book. You haven’t done that.
The second part of the question, was the same, but for the novel, A Fault in Our Stars. You have answered this question well.
However, you have many grammar and sentence structure errors that you should have fixed before submitting this. Read over your work and edit very carefully. This work is completed, but it barely passes because the first half does not answer the question, and the second half, though correct, is poorly written.
From this moment forward, you MUST DO YOUR BEST WORK, not your weakest. 5.5/10
