Authors Note: This
writing piece is about the book “The Hunger Games”, and how Katniss
Everdeen has to fight twenty-two enemies, all trying to kill, or stay away from
her and survive. Also for the Cause and Effect, I used the thesaurus to get
different word choices.
Katniss Everdeen was thrown into the Hunger Games, and every action has a consequence, or the
ability to change everything. After having a hard life to begin with, Katniss
had to care for her mother and sister by hunting out in the woods. Because she
has to hunt, she is an expert marksman. After her sister, Prim gets picked to
go to the Hunger Games, Katniss must volunteer. Because the Capitol did this,
Katniss has to train, and many other things.
This is like in the movie Resident Evil: Retribution. In the movie the corporation,
Umbrella, makes a new virus called G-Virus, that infects people to make them enhanced
zombies that are almost impossible to kill. Only a group of people can help
save America from all the zombies. Just like Katniss and Peeta have to survive.
The Umbrella Corporation is like the Capitol, and trying to do evil things,
like the Hunger Games, or Zombies.
After a lot of dramatic turns in The Hunger Games, the biggest
comes. During the Games, an announcement was made that two children could win
this year; if they were in the same district. After finding Peeta Mellark, Katniss
has to save him from dying, Katniss has to act in love with him. When they have
to leave their cave to kill the last contestant, something strange happens.
After getting to the cornucopia and waiting for about half
an hour, their opponent, Cato bursts through the trees and brush straight
towards them. Katniss draws back with her bow and fires and hits Cato in the
chest, which he just pulls out and keeps running at them. Then behind him comes
the mutts, Mutated Dogs, enhanced by the evil capitol to almost never die.
Katniss and Peeta get up onto the Cornucopia-barely. After
worrying about the mutts, Katniss doesn’t notice that Cato was on the
Cornucopia too. Cato and Peeta started wrestling, and Katniss can’t get a good
shot. Once she shoots him in the hand, Peeta throws him off and into the crowd
of awaiting dogs.
After about four hours, Katniss has mercy and kill Cato,
after he had been being mauled by those dogs the whole time. The dogs left and
they climbed off. After waiting and thinking about celebrating- when a voice
booms over the speakers, “After reviewing our decision, we looked in the rule
book, and only one player can win. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your
favor!”.
After hearing this, Peeta asks Katniss to kill him, which he
will not do. But because Peeta found a berry called Nightlock, that will kill
you within one minute of eating. Katniss pulled them out and almost killed themselves.
Until the Game Maker yells for them to stop, and they won the game, but now all
the Capitol wants to get rid of them, at least Snow does; and he’s the heart of
the evil in the Capitol.
In Resident Evil: Retribution,
the enhanced zombies that cannot die, are like Katniss’ troubles. The regular zombies
are like the contestants in the Games. Where in this case, Katniss and Peeta
have to face the other contestants and save themselves.
