1.Read the passage given below. I have found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. Nothing.
Nelson Mandela said: “There is no passion to be found playing small, in settling
for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
I am sure your experiences in school… in applying to college… in picking your
major…in doing what you want to do with life, people have told you to make
sure you’ve something to “fall back on”.
But if I am going to fall, I don’t want to fall back on anything, except my faith.
I want to fall forward. At least I figure that way I will see what I am about to hit.
Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I
didn’t either, because 1,001 was the light bulb.
Fall forward.
Every failed experiment is one step closer to success. You have got to take risks.
And I am sure you’ve probably heard that before. But I want to talk about why
it is so important.
You will fail at some point in life. Accept it. You will lose. You will embarrass
yourself. There is no doubt about it. That’s not a traditional message for a
graduation ceremony.
But, hey, I am telling you- embrace it. Because it is inevitable.
And I should know; in the acting business you fail all the time.
Early in my career, I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical. A perfect role
for me, I thought- except for the fact that I can’t sing. So, I start to sing and
they are not saying anything. I think I must be getting better, so I start getting
into it. The director cuts me off saying I will be hearing from him.
I assumed I didn’t get the job.
But the next part of the audition, the acting part, he called me back, though I
didn’t get that too.
But here’s the thing. I didn’t quit. I didn’t fall back.
I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition, and the next audition,
and the next one. I prayed and I prayed, but I continued to fail, and failed and
failed.
But it didn’t matter because if you try long enough you’ll catch your break.
And I did catch a break.

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.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
