5. Questions on my Character

Catching Fire, By Suzanne Collins

1. The main character of my novel is Katniss Everdeen.

2. We know that she is a tough, courageous girl who volunteered to fight to the death in a annual "Hunger Games", and is courageous enough to start an uprising in District 12 against the Capitol.

3. We need to know that she has stood up to the Capitol in the games by almost killing herself instead of killing her friend Peeta. That has caused many problems because the other districts saw it as a act of rebellion which the Capitol does not want.

4. One of Katniss's strengths is her influence. After she won the hunger games people of all districts respect her including some peacekeepers. This stopped Gale getting whipped to death. She also is very loving. She will do almost anything to save her family and friends from the capitol.

5. Her weakness is she is not comfortable with cameras like Peeta is. This is a problem because she relies on the cameras to prove her and Peeta really are in love and stop uprisings.

6. I would trust not trust Katniss because she changes her mind too much on too many key situations.

4. Poetic Devices in Narrative Texts

                                Poetic Devices in Narrative Texts

               

               In my book The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part Time Indian the poetic device that was used was a simile. When Arnold was playing basketball against Roger the book says Arnold "Didn't even dribble, just ran like a fullback" (Alexie Sherman, The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian 141). The simile in that sentence is "ran like a fullback", this is a simile because it compares Arnold running to a fullback and uses like to do so. The purpose of using a simile is it helps you picture how hard and fast Arnold was running. It helps the scene because it makes you feel the game between Arnold and Roger was very emotional and intense for Arnold to be running that hard. If the author chose to just say Arnold ran it wouldn't of been as meaningful.
