One of the most important locations in the novel is Augustus' basement. The first time we hear about the basement is when Augustus first brings Hazel to his house. His parents tell him he can't watch a movie down there with her but he still is persistent in wanting to let her see it. Augustus sees the basement as an escape from his' parents and their 'encouragements.' This is interesting because while the basement is an escape for Augustus from the hardships of his life, the walls are lined with his cancer perks, serving as a reminder of his illness. Augustus never really gets to escape the pain of his life, and embraces it, proved his commitment to always having a cigarette in his mouth.
