And I can’t seem to shake you anyway.” Rue seems to trust Katniss so she agrees and they plan to destroy the Career’s supplies. However, when Rue gets caught and killed, Katniss hurries to kill Rue’s killer. When she saw Rue she would think of Prim and became extremely protective of her.

    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…

    Similarities And Differences Between The Hunger Games And Lord Of The Flies

    Towards the middle of Lord of the Flies, the young group of boys split into two different groups. Ralph, Piggy, Simon, and SamnEric were allies throughout the story until Simon passed away and SamnEric were kidnapped. That left Ralph and piggy to fend for themselves while Jack, Roger, the hunters, and a few little ones began taking over the island. Jack Stole SamnEric, torturing them to find information about Ralph and Piggy. This created a very different feeling than The Hunger Games. While Katniss was camping in the trees, waiting for people to pass by she spotted a young girl, Rue, who reminds her very much of her sister. They became partners after Katniss was stung by a Tracker Jacker and fell from the tree. Rue covered her in leaves and created a remedy to help Katniss heal. They were planning to kill Cato and his group but was unable to proceed because Rue was shot by one of the tributes in his group. Katniss killed him using the bow and arrow she collected and sung to Rue as she died. This shows a bond between them that was very strong in a big sister, little sister way. This is the first time people see Katniss cry and show remorse for the killings. She then tries to find Peeta and stumbled across his camouflaged body. He is hurt so she helps him to a nearby cave that was high enough to not be noticed. They…
