Connecting with other blogs

I was able to make connections with my classmate's books that they read. Many of the books had similarities. I found that the character in the book I read, Hazel Grace from The Fault In Our Stars had some of the same thoughts and feelings as other characters in different books. Hazel was sent to support group for her depression, but she felt like she did not belong there. I read Jenny's blog http://jenneng.blogspot.ca/2013/11/little-brother-orange-is-new-black.html#comment-form about the book Little Brother; I was able to make a connection because the character in the story, Marcus, was sent to jail for a crime that he didn't commit. When you are in jail, you are monitored so that you don't escape. Hazel Grace was in a support group, in and out of the hospital, and even at home, she is monitored to make sure she is okay. Both characters were probably feeling trapped because Marcus had no choice but to be in jail, and Hazel Grace had to be stuck in the hospital when her cancer was getting worse. I also made a connection with Katie's blog http://katiem6331.blogspot.ca/ post about It's Kind of a Funny Story. Craig was able to control his depression and do something about it and get help. Like Hazel, he did not give up on his life. There are many reasons why the both of them could have felt like they should give up, but they both did not and continued to live their life. I also made a connection with Megan's blog http://mlseng.blogspot.ca/ about The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. Hazel and Augustus had a good relationship; they loved to spend time with each other, but there was something that came in the way of their relationship...cancer. Cancer was a huge obstacle that they had to face. In the book The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, Bruno and Shmuel had a strong bond as well but there was also something that came in the way of their relationship; the fence. They weren't actually able to play with one another, they were just able to meet at the fence and talk to one another.
