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.

In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, Sanger Rainsford is shown as intelligent, determined, and competitive. Rainsford is shown to be intelligent in the story when he beats General Zaroff back to his house with only two options for beating him to his house. Nevertheless, he thought of a faster route to General Zaroff’s house so he could surprise him and catch him off guard, which is alarmingly smart. “ ‘Rainsford!’ screamed the general. ‘How in God’s name did you get here?’ ‘Swam,’ said Rainsford. ‘I found it quicker than walking through the jungle’ (Connell).

Family relationships assist me because they help me focus on my family rather than the tragic event that happened. The effect a family has on one another during a time of difficulty is very strong. One might have a mother, a father, and also brothers, sisters, grandparents, etc. These are the people that one will draw closer to in times of need. Besides their spouse, one’s relationship with their mother is the closest relationship one will have with another human being.. For six weeks, Lorri is alone on an island with the two deceased passengers, Josie Archer and Clarence Fuller, and all that she longs for is the accompaniment of her mother. Her only will to live is so that she could be with her mother again since she has not been able to see her for years before because of World War II. In Wick 's book, Every Storm, she says, “ 'Mother, Mother,’ Lorri sobbed, not able to get close enough,” (Wick 93). When one does not have a mother figure, they lose that maternal bond. The relationship between a mother and child is strong because no one will be able to replace ones real mother. This certain situation made me think of how lucky I am to have a mother that cares about me. It also made me think that if I were in the same

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin is a complex novel filled with an equally complex and diverse set of characters. Martin explores and questions many aspects of humanity, society, and morality by creating three-dimensional, imperfect characters. For many of these characters, it is difficult to determine whether they should be considered good or evil due to the fact that they are so human and realistic. Some characters are easy to love, and others, like Joffrey Baratheon, are incredibly easy to hate. It can be difficult to talk about Joffrey without immediately wanting to write him off as one of the cruelest and worst characters ever created. Not many people stop to ask why he is the way he is. What caused him to become so mean and sadistic?
To begin with, I relate to the Duncan family in Good Luck Charlie because of their similarities with our family,
I was strolling down the hallway, trying to figure out where my class would be, when I bumped into a girl. “Oh goodness! I am so sorry. I wasn 't looking," she said and bent down to grab my file and books even before I could. I sighed and replied, “No, it 's fine." I wiped the sweat, which I had accumulated from walking all over the school, off my forehead. She stood up and handed me my books. I realized she was also a freshman by her orange colored uniform. She flipped her hair and said while grinning," Let me introduce myself. I 'm Natasha. I 'm from Canada so I don 't really know much about this town. How about you?" Even though I had never met her before, I could tell she seemed nice so I introduced myself. I had to make a judgment to decide whether to befriend the girl or not. Little did I know this stranger was
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.
Although it is evident that the Hunger Games series differs from the movie and novel, they both share similar characteristics. The movie captures the basic storyline of the book. The main protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, becomes a tribute to the games when she volunteers to take her younger sister’s spot on the chopping block. Katniss competes against opposing districts for her life. Because of Katniss’ strong talents with a bow and arrow, she finds herself victorious with one last person left before she can return home safely, Peeta, who happens to be a friend. They defy the capital by choosing to commit suicide, leaving the game makers defeated with no winner. This small act starts a rebellion that spreads to
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.
One reason that people should read The Hunger Games is because of the well-developed characters. The main to characters in this book are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. There are a lot more characters but these are just the main two and they are very well explained and you get a lot of their background. “Straight black hair, olive...
I was not always a social and outgoing individual and I considered myself unlucky in life. I never stood out and did not have enough confidence to attempt to do so, not until one day in middle school. My Mathematics professor gave us an unexpected test. A lot of my classmates did not do well and I was sure I would be one of them. To my greatest surprise I scored the highest in the class with an A on the test. She called me aside after that class to talk about how I could develop my Math skills. She also ...
I took my bag and walked out the class without looking at other students who were present in the class and laughing at me. I was walking along the sidewalk and thinking WHY THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME? …. WHY THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME?
