  • Essay / The Garden of the Samurai and Our Faulty Stars

    When it comes to beauty, many people don't understand what it means. Others might have an idea. What beauty really means is that it's not about what someone looks like on the outside, but what's on the inside. Someone may appear less attractive than others, but have such a great personality that their appearance doesn't really matter. The same goes: if people are beautiful on the outside, they certainly won't be beautiful on the inside. Then there are people who are simply beautiful no matter what. They are the type of people who would be there for anyone who needed help. Beauty is not just about looks, but also about personality. The people with the most beautiful personalities are the ones people love the most. Talking about the term Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this term can mean so many things. As this may be an opinion for some people. This means that what someone sees is what they believe in most and others cannot change their mind. You can only think about beauty if someone wants to think about it. There are a few books that represent beauty in their own way. Gail Tsukiyama's The Samurai Garden and John Green's The Fault in Our Stars both reflect on beauty being in the eye of the beholder. At least two characters from each book have the most impact when it comes to dealing with beauty in the eyes of the beholder. In addition to the enormous beauty in both novels, many people don't understand why each character ends up falling in love with each other. These characters end up going through the most difficult obstacles throughout each book. Both novels are very inspiring for some people who would like a great novel to learn about beauty, and beauty itself...... middle of paper...... between a human and a zombie . The female lead falls in love with a zombie and doesn't care about his outward appearance because she knows he's good on the inside. She knows that beauty will always be inside, no matter what. As for the main male, he had always found the female beautiful, but he found her even more beautiful once he was able to see her personality better. Works CitedGolden, Arthur.
