The Similar Battles of Hazel and Talia

 In the story "The Fault In Our Stars", the p rotagonist's name is Hazel Grace. She is a girl that was diagnosed with lung cancer. The video that I made a connection with was about a 13 year old girl named Talia Castellano. Talia battled with cancer for several years and eventually lost that battle this summer. I knew about Talia because she sued to be an inspiring girl that made makeup tutorial videos on Youtube. Since Hazel had cancer, I thought of Talia since she had cancer too. Hazel battled with her cancer also, just like Talia did.

On the left, I chose a picture of Talia Castellano. She was bald because of her cancer. You can see above the photo, it says Cover Girl. Ellen Degenres made her a Cover Girl after she was interviewed on the Ellen show. Her talent with makeup inspired many young females. The picture on the right shows a drawing of Hazel Grace. Hazel had an oxygen tube under her nose because her lungs weren't very capable of giving her enough oxygen. Her cancer gave her troubles with breathing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Recently in class we have been learning how to properly present an effective oral presentation. All the skills and tips that we have learned to do will be helpful for many things. After some practise and courage, I will be able to give an awesome oral presentation by speaking loudly, making eye contact with the audience, appear relaxed, and get the audience involved so the presentation isn't boring. These skills will be effective if I want to be some kind of speaker when I'm older, or simply just for future presentations.

Transforming Into Something Else

If I could transform myself into anything, it would be a bird. I want to see what it would be like to fly and see the world from a different angle. On hot summer days, to cool off you could simply fly and the wind blowing against you would cool you off. Flying would be very useful for dangerous situations. Instead of having to run away for example, you could just quickly fly away.
