Hazel really likes the novel An Imperial Affliction. What is this story about? Why do you think she likes it so much? Why is it so important for her to find out what happens to the characters of AIA?

AIA is about a girl named Anna who has Blood Cancer in remission during the beginning of the book. She lives with her mom and The Dutch Tulip Man who may or may not be a con. the book ends with Anna either being to sick to continue or dying with no closure about what happens to Anna's Mom or the Dutch Tulip Man. The reason Hazel likes this book so much is she sees the book as a reference to her own life.

. from what hazel had said about the book I think its about a girl that gets cancer again and its just about her battling cancer until the cancer wins but hazel said she likes the book because the auther actually knows what he is writing about I think hazel likes this book so much because she can relate to the character in a lot of ways because she her self is battling cancer

i agree i also think that the reason she whats to know the ending because since the book kind of resembles her life she would like to how to end not her end but something like that
