Important Line from The Fault in Our Stars

“That's the thing about pain," Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. "It demands to be felt.”

This quote is one of my favorites from The Fault in Our Stars. It is realistic and I can relate to what it is saying. The quote is also important to the story line because it foreshadows future events yet to come. When Augustus glances away,along with his serious tone, it shows that he is hiding something from Hazel and the reader. It also creates suspense by making the reader curious about what pain Augustus is thinking about when he says this. 

Other than helping the plot and story line, the quote adds depth and a serious tone. It makes the reader aware of the truth in the quote. It is accurate and easy to relate to. I think everyone has experienced a time where they wanted to forget about something that was making them upset, but you can't stop thinking about it or feeling it. This is what Augustus is saying in his quote and it allows the reader to connect to the book and Augustus by feeling sympathy for him, because we understand what he is talking about.

This book has so many great quotes that really engage the reader and makes the book really exciting to read.
