One touching similarity was the use of the word “okay”. However, the novel and movie did not only have differences but similarities as well. To add, at the beginning of the novel, it mentioned Augustus staring at Hazel for a long time when they first met at the cancer support group, but it was only because she and Caroline Mathers looked quite alike. Caroline was a miserable, cruel, and moody girl due to her brain tumor, which lead her to make fun of Augustus’s missing leg at some point. During the Amsterdam trip, Hazel looks her up, and she finds pictures and comments of her. Caroline Mathers died of brain cancer a few years earlier and this weighed heavily on Hazel’s mind. The other difference between both the novel and the movie is Augustus’s former girlfriend, Caroline Mathers, which was only mentioned in the novel when Hazel and Augustus were talking about their first kisses. However, when Isaac found out that he needs surgery and he was going to become blind, Monica broke up with him in fear. Isaac and Monica had promised each other to “always” love each other. Moreover, Isaac had a girlfriend, Monica. He had one glass eye and one real eye, but later on, it was removed leaving him NEC (No Evidence of Cancer) but he was blind. In the novel, it explained Isaac’s character more than in the movie by explaining Isaac’s eye cancer, retinoblastoma. Isaac is one of the supporting characters in The Fault in Our Stars, but he was not mentioned in the movie. To begin with, both the novel and movie had, Augustus’s best friend, Isaac.
