B) The book was written to give readers an in depth look and quite an alternative view of how militarism has changed America in both the past and present and the profound effects it will have on future generations to come if we continue on this path.

3. Describe at least one connection between the reading and topics from outside class (other classes, news stories you’ve seen, etc.)?

1. What is the topic? Be as specific as you can as you summarize the issue, but don’t forget about style. Being logical does not mean that you cannot showcase a sophisticated prose style. In this response, tell us what the book is about, major characters, events, and more. Remember, you are establishing your ethos right here.

In the passage “Why Literature Matters,” Dana Gioia uses facts and statistics as well as strong word choice and tone to help persuade the audience.

Throughout human history, the word “how” (i.e. how did JFK get assassinated?) has always been the second best question. First place usually goes to “why” (i.e. why did JFK get assassinated?). Today’s story stems from the former. How did I become the reader/writer that I am today? Some people might have a more comprehensive examination as to how they became Tolstoy the sequel, but I do not. I have an overwhelmingly dull tale to present, and a large timespan to cover. Jump into your mental time machine and get ready for takeoff. We’ll be going back to roughly early 2004.

The first question asks if the final project aided me in understanding the content of the novel and what was Suzanne Collins purpose behind the book. This final project helped me understand the book by showing all the themes behind the book. I had a main theme, which was sacrifice. It helped me recognize all the things people in the districts sacrificed to Panem. Suzanne Collins had lots of passion behind writing this novel. I believe that Suzanne Collins wrote this book because she wanted to portray the negative aspects of our world through a book.

Writing is just about the same for example, I can’t write about something that I know nothing about or interested in. Therefore, I am writing this paper to show you my weaknesses and not my strengths because I
