                                          Blog:4        The Hunger Games

        In this blog I will be discussing my final assignment for my English 102 class. This assignment is to write from the perspective, or point of view, from a character in the novel, “The Hunger Games”. We can choose any character in the novel except for the main character Katniss. I will have to adopt the motivation, goals and “voice” of that character. I will have to use the character’s perspective, which can be written in first person and to overlap with at least one major scene from the novel. I will write about that scene from the perspective of the character I will choose. I will also have to write about a scene that is not in the novel. This imagine scene must reveal to readers something new and important about the text. For both scenes, there should be some “idea” that’s at stake. The friction should be able to show this idea through the interaction of characters, action, or description. We have to show that this “idea” matters through story rather than solely through argument. This “idea” will be the title of the paper.

          My plans for this assignment are to choose a character that was important in the novel and that I know that I will have a lot to talk about. I will also choose a character that I connected to the most. I have chosen Peeta’s character to write about. Why I chose Peeta’s character is because I feel that he was one of the main character in the novel since the story starts and ended with him and there’s a lot I could write about him. I think I will create a scene in which Peeta asks Katniss out on a date when they get back in the district but Katniss didn’t give him an answer because she’s thinking about Gale, I don’t know how well this scene will work but I’m thinking about it. What I want to accomplish in this assignment is to have all the requirements to meet its standard and I must have a good and interesting story. I think the biggest challenge for this assignment is to plan a scene that will fit the story. A scene that will be interesting  and yet appropriate.
