The Appeal Of Adrienne Rich’s Poetry The poems of Adrienne Rich spoke to me in a powerful way. She was definitely one of the most original and thought provoking poets on my course.

Suzanne Collins‚ the author of The Hunger Games‚ wants us to believe that sometimes in life‚ we are required to do tasks that we are uncomfortable doing. Collins uses symbolism in her book to help further her writing. One form of symbolism I chose was the bow and arrow. In my opinion the bow and arrow symbolized strength and confidence in Katniss.
