The Hunger Games: The Book That Changed My Life

4/6/17
The Book That Changed my Life The book that made a large impact on my life was The Hunger Games. This book impacted me because it displayed images of violence but had a very good love story twisted into it. The Hunger Games starred Katniss Everdeen and her “partner” Peeta Mellark. They were selected from the same district to participate in the games. The game was a game of survival and only one person could emerge victorious. This book made such a large impact on my life because even though the two people had to fight they still stood side by side. They faced all of their fears and almost death together. Katniss and Peeta would fight off all of the obstacles and people that came against them and would emerge

    Hunger Games Book Talk

    I think I probably wouldn't be able to survive in the wilderness, much less if people are trying hard to make sure I don't survive until the next day. I am used to getting my food in the supermarket, already processed, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to hunt, kill or even build a fire. But Katniss Everdeen could.…

    Hunger Games Narrative

    Since this is a unit that is focused around The Hunger Games, the reading portion of the lessons is rather obvious, as students need to read and comprehend the book to be successful. They are also asked to read various articles and interpret texts in order to respond thoughtfully and appropriately to discussion and writing topics. Since the reading aspect of language was covered, I tried to focus on the importance of incorporating the remaining three language skills – writing, speaking and listening – while creating this unit. I did this by paying special attention to ensuring that discussion and dialogue were abundant to allow students the opportunity to not only share their own ideas but also…

    the hunger games

    In Katniss’s mind she is determined to defy the Capitol and make them look ridiculous in the eyes of the entire country. The way the author portrays this scene in the book, proves that this was an act of defiance against the capitol, being that Katniss is not only brave but loyal to her district, and Peeta. Also being an act of survival, Katniss realizes she would rather die with Peeta other than survive and have him dead. They both knew they would not let the other die after they realized there could only be one victor, so they agreed to die together not having to live without the other.…

    Character Analysis Of Katniss Everdeen In The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

    ““That's when I hear the scream. So full of fear and pain it ices my blood. And so familiar. I drop the spile, forget where I am or what lies ahead, only know I must reach her, protect her. I run wildly in the direction of the voice, heedless of danger, ripping through vines and branches, through anything that keeps me from reaching her. From reaching my little sister.””(The Hunger Games). Katniss Everdeen, a fictional character, is a pillar of strength throughout Suzanne Collins’s Hunger Games, published in 2008. The heroine of the book, shows that you don’t need supernatural powers to be a hero. Her selflessness, bravery, and skillful demeanor help her survive in a broken world of injustice and tyranny.…

    Catching Fire Journal Entry Essay Example

    My favorite character for most of the story was Katniss Everdeen, the beautiful, spirited tomboy. I could really relate to her like I could no other character in the book. I admired her for taking care of her little sister and especially her mother. I too, had to be the parent child in my household when growing up. I was not surprised at all when she took the place of her sister, the underdog, in the Hunger Games. Because I too, have lost someone close to me, I knew that hunting not only fulfilled the purpose to feed her family but that it helped her to cope with the death of her father, whose bow and arrows she cherished. My best friend during my teenage years was a guy named Brian, so it was easy for me to understand the relationship Katniss shared with her best friend Gale; the good looking guy that the…

    Hunger Games

    Glimmer is my most hated or disliked character in the book. She is one of the Career Tributes, who have trained most of their lives for the games. She is described as being gorgeous, with blonde hair and emerald eyes, and she plays up her good looks to gain sponsors and an edge in the competition. She becomes Katniss' first kill. Glimmer is selfish girl who only wants to win. The final question I had was, What is the author trying to say about one of the following topics in the book. I believe courage is the best topic the author tries to talk about in the book. During the whole competition Katniss and Peeta were faced with many challenges trying to survive the elements of nature or their worst enemy themselves. The author showed that no matter what challenges came there way they would face them together and that if they failed they failed together. My favorite quote from this book is “I wish I could freeze this moment, right her, right now and live in it forever”(Katniss 45). It means live your life to the fullest we are young and you never know what might come your way or what might happen the next day of your…

    Personal Narrative: The Hunger Games

    Usually when you tell someone you don’t want to do something, you expect them to just understand and walk away. Even though I had been asked multiple times if I had read “The Hunger Games” the answer was still no. And then I continued on saying that I didn’t want to read it...ever. It had become too popular and I just wasn’t interested in joining the great phenomenon that was “The Hunger Games.” I didn’t see the point. That was my stubborn attitude about the subject until my eleventh birthday when I received a gift I wasn’t expecting.…

    I spend half of my life reading books. The book I read last was The Hunger Games. (Gary Ross, Suzanne Collinns)…It’s a sci-fi story. It really helps to learn to use your imagination. The whole book is action-packed and gripping which keeps you interested till the end and even after. I love the caraters, they are true to life. It is easy to identify with their joys and sorrows. Katniss, Peeta and the little Rue are my favourite. I think we can learn from them, how they live their lives. Its a good book for today teenagers. For example, Katniss is a really helpful caracter, It was illegal to hunt anything is the forest, despite she went to hunt, because her family was suffering. She could be died. It was a very brave action. I dont’t know how many young people would do the same to protect their familys. This is just one, but their are a lots of social and moral messages in the book. Reading this one can open up your mind and even help you to think in a different way. What would you do if you were be in those situations. So this book is really for me, because I like thinking, and find the answers. I really like this book, it s very individual .…
