Description Discussion--"Ground Zero" 1919 unread replies.1919 replies. A good description isn't just about including a bunch of details that mean nothing in particular. It's about choosing the right details and presenting them the right way. It's also about what's not described, what the author leaves out. These two ideas are what I want you to discuss this week. First I want you to consider what details did the author use that really made the scene come to life. What stood out and why did it? Try to explain in your own descriptive way why the author's choice of detail helps you really see and feel the actions or emotions. I also want you to think about what the author may have missed or had purposefully omitted. There are a million different little things that can be used to describe a scene or person or event. Try to think of things the author may have left out and explain why you think they did that. Would these details have been unnecessary or distracting? Would they have given a false impression? You'll need to craft a two-paragraph response that answers these questions and respond thoughtfully to at least two other classmates. This needs to be completed before Friday. Points off for any posts after Thursday.

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.
