The novel trilogy, The Hunger Games, focuses on Katniss Everdeen, a brave sixteen year old girl, who must fight for her nation's rights, against the unfair and powerful Capitol. The Capitol is the government in charge of her country, Panem, and although their laws are cruel and horrific, no one will stand up for themselves, afraid of the consequences The Capitol will bring upon them.
Katniss volunteered to take her sister's place in The Hunger Games, a terrible bloodbath, where twenty-four children must fight to the death on live television; which is to be broadcast across the country. Katniss and her alliances refused to play by the rules; her disobedient actions, have sparked a rebellion across the nation, causing the twelve districts to go at war with their Capitol. Now, Katniss is put in charge of the revolution, and must fight for her beliefs. This is an example of cause and effect; she defied the Capitol and as a result, Katniss has to lead the rebels to battle. Now, she must defeat the brutal government who have unfairly treated their nation for decades, or lose the battle and face the ungodly punishment that awaits her.
I believe I have earned an 8 for this assignment, because I used great word choice, summarized the story, and wrote about the results of the cause and effect of the story. I don't deserve a 9 or over because I did not use dialogue from the book, or create inferences.
