CHARACTER POST

in the hunger games one character is thresh. he is a tribute from district eleven. he is very bulk and strong and ruthless. katnis and rue pair up and other tributes end up killing rue. when katnis is being attacked her attacker says something about how they killed rue and when thresh hears that he helps katnis by killing her attacker. he also does not kill her and lets her go. he had turned more caring and sensitive since he was in district eleven with rue and since rue was so young.

reading skills post

I finished my book and i predict that in the next book katnis will fall in love with peetah. I also think that the capital will try to do something bad to peetah or Katnis or both. i predict these because peetah actually was in love with Katnis, and the capitol was mad when they both won the hunger games. i dont understand why the capitol cares so much about them both winning the hunger games. i also want to know why haymich helped Katnis and Peetah after the hunger games because they thought he hated them. A text to world connection is that after they won the hunger games everyone was cheering them on and supporting their district like in the Olympics after they win they cheer them and their country. a text to text connection is that in this book Peetah liked Katnis and their the main characters and in matched the main characters liked eachother. A text to self connection is that in the book Katnis was taking care of peetah when he was injured and sick and when my dad had cancer me and my family all took care of him

I read the science of love article for the Romeo and Juliet debate. It talked about the stages of love and how you feel when you are in love. There are three stages of love, lust, attraction, attachment. i found this interesting and saw bow it related to Romeo and Juliet. They showed some signs of being in love like not concentrating and sleeping. It also talked about how your attracted to people based on your genes which i found weird.

book recomandation

The book I'm reading is The Hunger Games. This book leaves you on cliff hangers and leaves you wanting to know what happens next. I think both boys and girls would like this book because it has action and it also has romance mixed in making it dramatic. I think that this book is an amazing book and would recommend it to everyone, especially those who like suspense and excitement. you never know what will happen in the hunger games. I think Susanne Collins is a very descriptive writer and makes you feel like your in the book. She also made great characters, I love their personalities and how they interact with each other. I'm pretty sure most people would like to read to see who wins the hunger games, and what goes on in them.

tone and mood post

The tone of my book the hunger games is serious and forceful. I know this because they are in the arena and are down to last few people and everyone wants to win and not die so everyone is serious. They give commands to people their alliance so they are forceful. The mood of my book is suspenseful. I know this because anyone could die or something bad could happen at any point in the book and you don't know what's next.  One part in my book where Katnis was persuasive was when she insisted that Rue take her sleeping bag when Rue didn't want to take it from her. Katnis's tone was loving, this helped persuade Rue because she saw Katnis cared about her and wanted her to be safe and warm in the night.

nikkis other post

This post is about an article I read about the shut down of the government called no end in sight to government shutdown after 'unproductive' White House meeting. In this article they talk about how the government wasn't agreeing with each other and could not negotiate with each other. They were fighting about the heath care plan Obamacare, and the democrats agreed and republicans did not agree with them. It also had quotes in the article from some of the people who were fighting in the meeting and from Obama. I think that the government should just meet in the middle about this situation and get the government back up. I also don't like how they shut down all the national parks and memorials. I also heard world war two veterans tore down the gate and went to see the memorials.

nikki's characters post

In the hunger games the main character Katnis is a dynamic character. She starts out in the book very caring for the people she was closer to especially for especially her little sister prim and only killed animals. But when she goes into the hunger games she becomes more independent and only is for herself and doesn't make alliances. But when less people are left she makes an alliance with Rue and then Peetah and starts being less independent and all for herself. Another character that is dynamic is Peetah. He begins the book as a more goody boy and is very nice. But before the hunger games he admits that he loves Katnis. Then when the games start he joins an alliance with the careers which are people who train for the hunger games and they try to take down everyone, which is unlike Peetah. Then he saves Katnis from them killing her and escapes from them to align with Katnis. they both changed their strategies and feelings since the games changed showing that the characters have evolved over the course of the book.
