    Stranded With Hope

    My biggest question about the The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, is “How can young adults benefit from the content of this book, and what life lessons does it teach them?” This book was full of advice that was not always straight forward, and I think that it is important for every reader to see this. The protagonist Hazel went through something so difficult that I hope none of us ever have to experience, but she eventually realized that she wasn’t the “grenade” that she thought she was. Life would be difficult, but her loved ones would find a way to cope and move on after she was gone. The process of writing this podcast was a little difficult for me because I have never attempt to write anything like this. I do listen to a lot of podcasts, but mostly by the same person so I don’t experience a variety of styles. The most helpful part of our class’s slideshow on how to create a podcast was the “Love Is…” podcast, because it is probably most similar to the style I chose. I recorded each section on the Voice Memos IOS application and edited and posted them with Anchor. My husband helped by played the host, Josh.
