The Fault in Our Stars
By Sinia Caceres
The fault in our stars,
Like a continuous constellation.
Sometimes we need a smile,
Or a strong medication.

Cancer to me is like giving someone the death penalty; I don’t think anyone deserves it. I think it's a good thing that even though Augustus knew the cancer could get him again, he lived life as if it was his last day. I really enjoyed his attitude. Isaac on the other hand wasn’t so thrilled about much.
When Monica broke up with Isaac I thought that was harsh. Breaking up with him right before he had...
