JOHN GREEN

 Hello! Today we're going to learn something about one of the most popular writers nowadays: John Green.

John Michael Green was born on the 24th of August in 1977 in Indianapolis, Indiana, but he moved many times while he was a child. He studied in a boarding school named Indian Springs School which is outside of Birmingham, Alabama and which later used his own experiences from the main setting of his first book Looking for Alaska.

Green graduated from Kenyon College in 2000 in English and Religion and he spent five months working as a chaplain in a children's hospital, but his experiences in the hospital watching the suffering of the hospital children inspired him to become an author and later to write the book called The Fault in Our Stars. He lived in Chicago where he worked for the book review journal Booklist as a publish assistant while he was writing Looking for Alaska.

 

His most popular books are Looking for Alaska (2005), An Abundance of Katherines (2006), Paper Towns (2008), Will Grayson, Will Grayson –with David Levithan (2010) and The Fault in Our Stars (2012). John Green's book, The Fault in Our Stars, has been converted to a film and he’s planning adapt his other novels (Paper Towns-2015, Looking for Alaska-2016 and An Abundance of Katherines) to films too.
