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

    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.…

    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…

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.

    Hunger Games

    During this book I had many questions and scenarios for my question but didn’t fully understand my own questions until I was done the book. I have been reading this book for a couple of weeks now and am finally finished. I have been reading the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the type of genre is Sci-fi and I have read the entire book. One of my questions was if I could be anyone in the book who would I be. My answer would be Peeta Mellark because he is a kind, caring, and good hearted young man. He has loved the main character in the book since he was 5 and saves her life multiple times, and when it comes down to the final scene no matter what pain he is in he is always by her side to the end. Another one of my questions was what character did I dislike the most. I would say…

    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 .…
