five feet apart chapter 3 & 4

The narrator goes back to Stella and I realized the pattern of the point of the book of view. the two characters express their feelings and thoughts in each chapter, so readers understand what both of them are thinking. However, the characters seem to not show those emotions, which makes it feel as if we are watching over the whole situation. Throughout the fourth chapter, we can see the relationship between will and his mother. Will is probably giving up on his medical trial and only has the idea to stop everything when he turns 18 in two weeks. He thinks that staying in the hospital and getting medications doesn't feel like "living", instead he wants to go outside and live what's left of his time. Will and Stella talk for the second time when Stella finds Will sitting on the top of the roof from her hospital window.

five feet apart chapter 2

I was surprised to see that Chapter 2 was told by the perspective from a boy called "Will Newman". which is the by that Stella comes of mind int the last part of Chapter 1. Will starts off by following Stella from his hospital room after seeing her beauty. Will seems to have a lot of interest in her and follows her to the CF where the newborn babies are. They start having a conversation. However, Stella has an attitude that leads to both of them not having a great first impression of each other. I discovered that Will also has CN but also diagnosed with B. cepacia. This depletes his lung function even faster. Cystic fibrosis patients, cross-infection from certain bacteria strains is a huge risk. One-touch between two CFers and it can kill both of them. Therefore, will and Stella has to always stay 6 feet apart. At the end of chapter 2 will finds ut about Stellas Youtube videos and starts to binge-watch them and realize the difference in the way she acts.

five feet apart chapter 1

I ordered the book called "five feet apart"  written by Rachael Lippincott about a month ago, which was supposed to arrive soon.  since the book was taking too long to arrive I decided to buy the book on iBooks on my phone. The story starts out with the character "Stella Gra nt" decorating her room with drawings made by her older sister, Abby. This book is written in the first person and Stella talks about how every single drawing has a message that her sister put in towards the sickness she has. Cystic fibrosis (CS). CS    is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections. At the beginning of the story, Stella's friends, Camila and Mya visited her before going on a school trip to Cabo that Stella would be missing due to the deterioration of her lungs. The first chapter talks about Stella's str...
