Most of the characters in The Hunger Games have strong personalities and unique individual traits; therefore I can strongly relate to Rue and Thresh. Reasons why I think Thresh are strongly related to me because he always isolated to other during the hunger game to survive and also have shows forgiveness to one that helped him before. For Rue’s reason why she is related to me is because she is fast and shy to people he don’t know. One reason why I think I am most related to Thresh in The Hunger Games is because of his isolation between all the other contester. Since the beginning of the book, they did not talk much about Thresh and all we know about him is that he is huge and has dark skin. Even long after the game has started, we still did not know much about Thresh. It was not until the end of the game where he showed up to get his backpack, so he can have more supplies because when the game started most of the people is either dead, with someone, or in group. For example, Katniss and Rue are one team, and all other career tributes in one group. At that time, if you are not in a group or have a team mate, you most likely will be dead. Unlike the others, Thresh he manages to stay alive by himself and get a lot of food for himself. This shows that he is very isolated to everyone else while everyone is with someone in some point of the game. His isolation is similar to mine; even through I’m not as big as him and as skillful as him that isolation I can relate to. For example when I moved to Rosemead, I left behind all of my middle school friends and some of them were my very few best friends since I moved to America. After I moved to this new city, I thought I can make a lot of good new friends in this new school, but I was wrong ... ... middle of paper ... ...hen to this new math class where I know no one in it, so I was always sit alone at the corner of the class by myself in class. So during the semester pass by. I started to eardrop the group of people who sit in front of me when we have free time. So when they were talking about funny stuff I will slightly laugh with them too. Then time pass by they started to notice me too. One they it was like those free day again, and we have nothing to do so one of the girl in that group tell me to join them and I started having fun in that class since then. I was very happy that I had met them in that math class, because later on they helped me a lot in class. This shows that I was very shy too when I was in high school, very afraid to talk to anyone unless they approaches me. This shows that I am very similar to Rue from the book The Hunger Game.

There was a game. The Westing Game. To find an heir. To win it all. Sixteen players. Eight teams. One winner. Who became the heir of Sam Westing. Sam Westing died, or supposedly did, and his sixteen heirs were trying to figure out who killed him, or if he was killed at all, which we found out, later in the novel was true. All of the teams had different clues, and they tried to figure out what those clues meant. In the mystery novel, The Westing Game, written by Ellen Raskin, the elements that were mysterious were: the main conflict, setting, characterization, and the technique the author gave clues to the reader.
The Westing Game is a novel about sixteen heirs of Sam Westing battling to solve his murder mystery game by determining his killer. The novel is puzzling and has many twists and surprises. In the novel The Westing Game, the characters Sydelle Pulaski, Grace Wexler, and Turtle wexler are all defined by specific traits.
The movie The Hunger Games, originally based on a book by Suzanne Collins, is about a place called Panem, which is ruled by the Capitol and has 12 districts within it. These 12 districts are separated founded on their economic statuses, meaning the higher the district, the more impoverished the residents are. There are 2 tributes that are chosen to participate, forcibly, in The Hunger Games each year. Each competitor is instructed to eliminate one another in order to survive and come out on top. There is only one tribute allowed to come out of the arena alive. Katniss lives in District 12, which is the most impoverished district of them all, and she volunteers as tribute in “the Reaping” when her sister is chosen to participate. She and the other tribute from her district, Peeta, make it into the arena with the hopes that one of them comes out the winner and above all else, alive (Ross, 2012). I will refrain from going any further just in case you have not read the book or have not seen the movie. In terms of soci...

Similarities between characters can strengthen their relationship and connect their reactions of events, even if the characters do not come together. For instance, Harper and Louis are similar in that they abandon their lovers (Borreca 2). Louis abandons Prior when the toll of Prior’s declining health and impending death becomes too great. Joe knows something too; as he leaves Harper alone going on long walks emotionally deserting her until she ultimately leaves Joe, coughing up blood. After they abandon their partners, Louis and Joe cling to one another therefore connecting them to each other (2). The ones left alone, Prior and Harper, are then connected in their loneliness and their hallucinations. They even share in each other’s hallucination/dream. This is where they confront each other about the other’s partner with information neither of them could have known in reality (Meisner 3). Consequently Harper, Prior, and Roy are all connected in their supernatural hallucinat...
Ender Wiggin, the main character from The Ender’s Game, fights like a man, cries like a baby, and leads a fleet into war when he is only 10 years old. This is incredible considering most ten year olds are struggling to tie their own shoe in the fourth grade. In the story, Ender leaves his family on Earth to graduate battle school and then command school and ultimately defeats the buggers and saves the last of their species. The book was much better than the movie because of the involvement of Ender's siblings and the details expressed.
The house at the Vivian Beaumont Theater had just been cleared from the matinee audience. Among couple of Playbills scattered around the floor, sat Ashley Park in her University of Michigan sweater.
In Alas, Babylon, the main protagonist, Randy Bragg, lived an easy-going life. “With his share, plus dividends from a trust fund established by his father, and his occasional fees as an attorney, Randy lived comfortably” (Frank 12). His life isn’t very believable though since it was simply luck that he not only got money from his father’s trust fund, but inherited a sizeable amount of land that produced thousands of dollars’ worth of citrus. Plus, it’s not common for people to have to rarely work like Randy does. However, his way of life is completely changed after The Day, and he is forced to go to extreme lengths to keep himself and those close to him alive and well.
Since she is the female victor from district 12, she is in the 74th Hunger Games. She sees how painful and scary it is and so she tries to stop the capital which is who is controlling everything. She doesn’t want that to happen to anyone else. She rebels against President Snow in plan of eventually killing him to take over the capital and change the world. Teens can relate to this because a lot of the time we feel controlled. It might be by a parent, teacher, grandparent or someone else but all of us are controlled by someone. A lot of teenagers end up rebelling because they feel as if they have no choices. They go against the rules of who they are rebelling against. That persons rules and values are not necessarily right. Who decides what is right? It seems as if we have entered into a state time where there is no right and wrong. Katniss breaks free of that control and does her own thing. Another way teens can relate to the hunger games is through the love triangle. Some of us might have a similar situation of where we might like two people. In the movie it says, “What I need is not Gales fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can
To begin with, I relate to the Duncan family in Good Luck Charlie because of their similarities with our family,
All my life I have been shy. Also, all my life I’ve been hearing people
As I found my spot to sit down I noticed a boy and girl sitting alone. I decided to sit by them. In seconds we were blabbing about each other as the boy and girl and me became friends. Soon I was gorging food in my mouth from my lunch. Early at recess I was starving and I couldn't wait for lunch. As we were talking, I almost forgot to ask them what their names were. They replied with, Marissa and Sean.
My first year of junior high, (in our school that was seventh grade) I was not spending all my time trying to be popular like all the other people in my grade. I was just being me how I always had been. One day at I was sitting at the lunch table with a bunch of people I would hang around with sometimes. Some of them were talking about there weekends.
In the morning I came to school and I realized that we had a math test today. It would be a disgrace if I failed this test in front of my parents. When I was walking on the field to school I saw my friend and he roguishly punched my shoulder saying “Are you ready for the test?” and as he mentioned that I was quivering as I got to my first class.
When I was in elementary school kids would bully me for my looks and that did affect my life a lot. So I decided to hang out with the “cool” kids the first day of third grade and they all seemed glad that I joined them, after that we would do crazy things that would get us in trouble but in the end I knew that they had my back. One day this random girl came up to me and decided to talk with me, she told me about how she felt and all of her insecurities were taking an advantage of her to become a target for people to bully her. I decided to become friends with her a week after our talk, she had always been by my side since we met. She ended up coming to my house almost everyday and we would have sleepovers when we could, and then one day I decided to tell her one of my biggest insecurities. The next day school started and I was very happy hoping nothing would get in my way, I didn’t see my friend until lunch and as I walked up to her she started to laugh and around the corner all of my friends came and at that moment I didn’t know what was happening until one of my other friends came to me and told me that my “friend” told everyone about my
