The Hunger Games
Chapter 3
In this chapter, there were a lot of awkward and stressing
situations displayed throughout the plot. As Katniss had to leave Panem, it was
a very worrying scene for her, and I realized how much she truly did not trust
her mom. It was hard for her to leave Prim behind, because she could starve, but
she had a couple special people relieve that worry a little, as they promised to
take care of her family. Also, she was given a great amount of luxuries on her
way to the Capitol. I think that although she is enjoying these luxuries
because she never before had them, but at the same time she wishes to be back
home giving those blessings she’s getting to Prim, Gale, and her mother. The
story gets more intense with every word read, especially because here and there
she comments that she’s not going to win and it makes you think: Is she?
I think the author’s intent was to make the reader excited
for the next chapter. She gave us just enough information, especially when it
came to describing the tributes from other districts, a hint as if to say:
These games will be interesting. It also gets you worried for Peeta, who’s a
tribute as well, and from the hints we get, he might just die in the
competition. An organizational pattern I observed was cause and effect, because
that is how this book seem to be. Whatever action you make will affect your
next one.
I believe you wrote a little too much on your explanation about the chapter. Other than that, its great and very well thought out. It is totally understandable how Katniss feels; she is not used to being pampered so she becomes overwhelmed. Also, when I was reading the book, I thought the same about Peeta but keep reading because the outcome is going to shock you. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your thoughts on my blog :) I completely agree with you on how Katniss feels, I would feel the same! I'm excited to finish the book, thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI love the Hunger games series!
ReplyDeleteI just have a few questions. Did you particularly notice any sort of bias in this chapter? Also, were there any allusions you noticed?
I love the Hunger Games series, too! In this chapter, I felt like the author was leaning towards the luxuries and wealth that came along with the trip away from Panem. I didn't notice any particular allusion in this chapter, however.
ReplyDeleteI see..(:
DeleteWas the organizational form more cause/effect, compare/contrast or chronological in your opinion?
Actually..it was a bit of all of the ones you listed! The author listed the causes and effects of the games on Katniss' life so far. The changes are big so i think her future is being foreshadowed as a drastic change to come. It compares the luxuries of her now and her small run down home in Panem. And chronological since the story is going from beginning to end in sequence.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
