Character Bio:
K Eatniss ver-
deen is g row ing up in a imp ov er i s h family after her father died in the depths of the coal mines. Now her family is relying on her bow and arrow to satisfy their hunger. She is now known as a super star with many citizens in the capital as Katniss and her star struck lover became victors when the 74th hunger games curtailed to an end. But when doing so she upset the capital to an extent they will never forget until the day she dies. We are now here with Katniss to find out more on her complex issues. Interview: Question: Rumor has it that President Snow came to victors village to personally talk to you. Tell us more about your surprise visit from President Snow? Answer: Yes, before I went on my victor’s tour President Snow and I had a very serious discussion about my future. He came into my home while I was going to town. He had a retched scent clinging to his breath of blood, probably some fancy capital trick. He was enraged at me for an act I conducted in the arena, the very act that let Peeta and I exit the arena safe and alive. He said to me, “I have a problem, Miss. Everdeen. That started the moment you pulled out those poisonous berries in the arena” in that supernatural capital accident. He said that the act of us trying to kill ourselves started an uprising. if Seneca Crane (head gamekeeper) did not let us out alive then their would not have

been a victor for the 74th games leading to an unhappy crowd. Lucky for us he let us both out of the arena for that reason, unfortunately that got him executed for his decision. Question: When you found out that you yourself were going into the arena for Quarter Quell, what were your first thoughts? Did you think it was fair? Answer: When I found out I would be back in the arena I was only thinking of my self And i was mad. I felt like my battle had ended, like I had finally found out how president Snow was going to kill me. I actually went over to Haymich’s house to have a drink. Peeta on the other hand was already planning. Peeta pulled me back together, and from then on we trained like careers. Peeta is a better person than I am he wont kill anything unless he is sure he needs to, he helps anyone, and he can move the crowd. Question: What was Haymich’s strategies and last word before the games began? Answer: Haymich said A couple things to me to give me motivation like, “here is some good advise, STAY ALIVE. His last words were Before i went into the arena: remember who the enemy is Katniss. Thats what I realized before I shot the force field, the real enemy is the capital. Those words helped me a lot, and mabey is one one the reasons im still here today. Question: What were your hopes and dreams before and after you went into the games? Answer: Before the games my family was living off my bow and arrow, but I had freedom no one chasing me down. It was fun, everyday after school I would go hunting with Gale. I wanted nothing more than what I had, but every year we ran the risk by getting grain in exchange for more names in the reaping balls. But now all I want is to never have to deal with the games again.
No killing, no slaughtering, just peace. Question: Many people see you and your mocking jay as the symbol and reason to fight back and retaliate against the capital. This is the biggest rebellion in history and your leading it on. How do you feel about this? Answer: I am afraid, and I feel guilty because I have misled thousands of people into their death and in fact I have already destroyed a hole district. I can no longer be in district 12, my home, my hole life and it is all my fault. I guess it’s the ending of one district and the birth of another. Question: Now that the games are over who can you trust? Answer: I can only trust those I know closely, it is weird in one sense only a couple of days ago I was deciding when the best time to kill Finick was and know he is maybe even a friend. Question: And Finally, The interviews with Mr. Flickermen were canceled could you tell us a little bit about them? Answer: Well, all just Say Cinna’s costume help prove a point. Through my costume he defied the capital himself while showing me his support. In the middle of the interview my dress lit on fire and through the smoke and remains of my old dress I had turned into a mocking jay! The dress and pin is kind of like my symbol in the game, it represents the hole rebellion idea and the protests against the capital. Like every other time peeta blew me out of the water,with his emotional speech. Personally I think he went to far but the capital crowd believed every piece of it. Caesar Flickerman said it must be so saddening to have your wedding cancelled. Peeta said oh we did get married, but just privately. Mr. Flickerman than said, oh that’s nice. Peeta cut him off saying No, its not good that we got married especially with the baby on the way! I have to say, I was just as surprised as the audience. Thats probable why all of panem didnt get to see the interviews.

The Sound of
By Simon And Garfunkels
Hello darkness, my old frien d I’ve come to talk with you ag ain Because a vi sion softly creeping Left its seeds wh ile I was sleepi ng And the vision that was planted in my b rain Still remains Within the sound of s ilence In restless dreams I walked alo ne Narrow streets of c obblestone ‘Neath the halo of a st reet lamp I turned my c ollar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of s ilence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, ma ybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no o ne dared Disturb the sound of s ilence “Fools”, said I, “You do no t know Silence like a ca ncer grows Hear my words hat t I might each t you Take my arms hat t I might reach you” But my words , like s ilent raindrops fell And echoed In the wells of ilence s And the people bo wed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was formi ng And the sign said, “The words of he t prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls” And whispered in the sounds of s ilence

Silence Hello Darkness! my old friend Through the different melodies, in the song the sound of s ilence by Simon and Garfunkel, they were able to portray a gloomy, dark, for lorn feeling. In other words Simo n and Garfunkel where able to convey the emotions of depression and helplessness. This is asserted in the first words of he t song, “Hello Darkness my old friend” that speaks to someone falling into dark times or depression. Additionally, “In re stless dreams I walked alo ne “ si also im parting the mood and feeling of this song. In this song they used the phrase, “the sound of silence” this quote is a ve ry good example of poetic device because they used this oxymoronic phrase, as a wa y to communicate the loneliness of someone. This statement adds to this song because it makes you think, what is the sound of silence? “Silence like ca ncer grows” this part enhances this song because it describes the sound of silence and how it overwhelms people. In his t quote it is showing how silence is like when cancer spreads, undetectable and silent. “Hello darkness, my old frien d”, this quote from the song shows the emotions of so meone in great despair, or st arting to feel depressed I selected this song because it’s tone matched my book, Catching Fire. Th is songs tone matched my book, Catching Fire. The Sound Of Silence connects with my book because it speaks about being alone. For Exam ple, in the song it states ”In restless dreams I walked alo ne, narrow streets of c obblestone”. Th is phrase fr om the song is like ho w Katniss felt as she was walking down district 12 after the capital obliterated the whole di strict. As Ka tniss walked down the “narrow streets of c obble stone” she said, ‘I killed you, nd a you, and you. Becau se I did, my arr ow breaking the force field, hat’s t what brought on this fire storm of retribution”. This quote asserts to the sadness of this song. Again, “I walk alo ne through Narrow streets of cobblestone” connects to when Katniss walks down the road toward what was o nce district 12’s town square. Passing rotting dead bodies of those who tried to flee fr om the deadly capital attacks. 7. Beetween the lines

Poem
I am fr om the poor and penniless, From the shaky mi ne carts maki ng its treacherous descent, Declining into the musty damp shaft I am fr om the distant trickling of tears, Internally rolling down faces carved of st one I am fr om my bo w, Hidden in the hollow of a grea t Dutch elm, Protected by my fa ther’s spirit I am fr om his wisdom, gathering berries to roots from the misty meadows I am fr om Prim, From her washed out, frail ski n I am fr om my fa ther’s house, crafted by his hands of preci sion, From the smoldering coals still billowing smoke, Boards bucking, crashing to the ground as if hey t were walking my plank I am fr om endless nights of ormenting t memories, Hoping dawn will soon come I am fr om the glaring vulture eyes, staring me down From the fury of he t night dr owning me into President Snow’s scheme I am fr om the wolves, From rays of light gli nting off their shiny grey c oats as they scamper into the foliage I am fr om their arched snouts reaching for the bright glistening moon, From their iridescent yellow eyes glowing as if hey t were my o wn Dawn comes as night fell, awaki ng the woodlands The wolves leaving only the slightest imprint in the black, moist soil I am fr om hunting all prey, From the dashing streaks of wh ite, Anything to fill my sa tchel I am fr om the aroma of c ooking my g ame From trading at the Hob, Wafting smells of wh ite bread and goat cheese I am fr om the buzz of he t electric fence when I st ay too late, Holding me back from my family’s em pty stomachs I am fr om being the capital’s play doll celeb rity, To their personal assassin I am fr om the Hunger Games, The capitals child, Killer of ch ildren I am fr om the Mocking Jay, The hope of he t rebels I am fr om the determination of Bo nnie and Twill From the chance for a new eginning b I am fr om, now, district 13,

Should It Stay? C
ompelling, surreal, deranged; you may call the controversial society in the Hunger Games trilogy inhumane. You may also call it a dystopian civilization. Nonetheless, it is still the New York Times best selling series, The Hunger Games. I strongly advocate Suzann Collins book Catching Fire to be included in the grade eight curriculums because of its dramatic and riveting plotline. As well, this enthralling novel utilizes every word by using sophisticated language, drawing readers into the realm of the Hunger Games. This captivating novel engulfs readers in their thoughts about the hunger games society, making it the ideal book to be integrated in the grade eight curriculum. I believe Catching Fire should be incorporated into the grade 8 curriculums because of its unforeseeable plotline that engages the reader. Additionally, Hunger game proponent, Calvin stated in his book review, “What I liked best was that even though the way she writes is unpredictable, the plot conveys the message in a clear way.” By “she,” Calvin was speaking to the Hunger Games series author, Suzann Collins. Most importantly, I believe that catching fire is an ideal book to be added to the curriculums because through its unpredictable plot line it exhorts the readers to delve deeper into the book and decipher the underlying themes. To enforce my point, this is like the moment when Katniss had to decide whether she was going to defend herself from a deadly threat or defy the capital, her true enemy. Personally, this part made me think of many dystopian parts in our civilization such as modern wars, bizarrely between the same human race. In line with the Albertan curriculum, this novel allows readers to construe their own ideas and concepts as they interpret the many intricate problems the characters face. The curriculum it says, “Student should develop their own opinions,” As I read Catching Fire, it consistently made me think about what my opinion was or what I would have done in that situation. I believe that the Hunger Games trilogy was effective in connecting the concepts of the book with a large variety of age groups allowing many of them to relate to the book. All together I believe this book, Catching Fire was very successful at drawing the reader in through its intriguing plotline and allowing readers to conjure up their own concepts and opinions on this controversial society. I believe that Catching Fire should be incorporated into the Albertan curriculum because through multiple literary devices Suzann Collins was able to portray a whole new world. Undoubtedly the most unique part of catching fire was the unpredictable solutions for every impediment the characters faced. An example from the book is, “My bow drops as his meaning registers. Yes, I know who the enemy is. And it’s not Enobaria. I finally see Beetee’s knife with clear eyes. I rise, turning to the force field, fully revealing myself but no longer caring. My bow tilts up at the wavering square, the flaw, the ... what did he call it that day? The chink in the armor…” This is referring to when Katniss broke the force field to flee from the arena. In this example, Katniss rather than killing a rival tribute was able to identify
her real enemy, the Capital. This quote from the book is a very good example of how Suzann Collins reels her readers into the Hunger Games realm. For me this specific part of her literature drew me into the book because of its creative and unpredictable resolution. Not only did Suzann Collins hook me through her solutions but also with frequent pieces of information insinuating different characters traits, yet they were still well integrated into the story. For example, “If it were up to me, I would try to forget the Hunger Games entirely. Never speak of them. Pretend they were nothing but a bad dream.” This is speaking to how Katniss felt before she departed for the victory tour. Not only does this quote tell you how she felt but it also implies her standpoint on the society she’s living in. There were many quotes like this one that significantly helped me comprehend all the characters. In all I believe that through the character development and the unpredictable solution Suzann Collins was able to connect the reader to the dominion of Panem. I believe Catching Fire should be incorporated into the grade 8 curriculum because of its rich descriptive figurative language that creates vivid imagery connecting with the reader. For example, during the interviews before the Games, which require a battle to the death, Peeta advised all of Panem that Katniss is pregnant. During this point in the book Suzann Collins was able to fully capture the mood in the following quote, “As the bomb explodes, it sends accusations of injustice and barbarism and cruelty flying out in every direction. Even the most Capitol-loving, Games-hungry, bloodthirsty person out there can’t ignore, at least for a moment, how horrific the whole thing is.” This part is a very good example of rich descriptive language. More than that, I think that the sophisticated language was able to accurately show the reactions of all the characters. Another example of descriptive language from the book Catching Fire is, “A shadow of recognition flickers across Caesar’s face, and I can tell he knows that the mockingjay isn’t just my token. That it’s come to symbolize so much more. That what will be seen as a flashy costume change in the Capitol is resonating in an entirely different way throughout the districts.” These examples are just some of the many rich descriptive passages that draw Hunger Games readers into Suzann Collins literature. In all, I strongly promote Suzann Collins book Catching Fire to be included in the grade eight curriculum because of its Powerful descriptive language, unpredictable plot, and the universe it creates. The use of powerful language, phrases like “As the bomb explodes…”, drew me in to the empire of Panem. Throughout the whole book, Catching Fire Suzann Collins was able to resolve situations in an unforeseeable yet plausible way. Through a combination of many different literary devices Suzann Collins was able to draw reader into the dominion of Panem. Catching Fire is a wellwritten book worthy of being included in the grade eight language art curriculum.
