I recently began reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I noticed he has a very unique and relatable gone while riding. His voice was something that really caught my attention while reading the novel. I decided to conduct some research on him and some of his other works and accomplishments. I found that he has written many other books and received numerous awards including:
New York Times best selling author for:
•Looking for Alaska
•An Abundance of Katherines
•Paper Towns
Co-author of:
•Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Recipient of:
•Michael L. Printz Award(2006)
•Edgar Award(2009)
•Los Angeles Times Book Prize(2 times)
Also, John Green embarked on a project in 2007 to help to educate the nations teenagers in a fun and interactive way. He has a youtube account that he shares with his brother. They make a combination of science and history videos. They talk about everything from biology to chemistry to ancient civilizations to current events. Their videos are extremely enthusiastic and make learning typically boring topics interesting. From the videos I have watched I have noticed that Green's tone in his youtube videos is very similar to that which he writes with. It is a very sarcastic time that helps in getting across a very serious message. After doing thorough research on Green, I would definitely recommend checking out his novels and his youtube channel. They are both really interesting and reliable ways to learn something new!
