Rationale:
The Hunger Games is a contemporary novel written by
Suzanne Collins. The objective of this written task is to show Prim’s
perspective (sister of the protagonist, Katniss) in the events of the reaping,
what she thinks about the sacrifice that her sister made for saving her and
Prim’s point of view about the hunger games and her relationship with Katniss.
I have chosen a diary entry because is the best way to
show Prim’s feelings and opinions with freedom. Prim is an essential character
in the novel because is Katniss’s motivation for keeping fighting and
surviving, she is the reason why the novel exists.
This diary will have an informal and private style,
because is her diary and no one has to know what she is writing, so the only
audience of this will be Prim herself. In conclusion, the diary is something
that shows the point of view of this character and her thoughts about the sacrifice
of her sister and their relationship.
Written Task:
Dear diary, 4/8/2088
What a day was today, I still can't believe what just happened... My sister gave her life for saving me in the reaping! How this happened? Why me? Did it have to be this way? I still cannot believe that in my first day at the reaping I was chosen with just a single stupid paper with my name on it when there was like a dozen of girls with more than one paper with their names on it.
I wish that Katniss can arrive safe at our home, I don't think that I can stand another death in my family even when Katniss is the one who took the leadership when our father died in the mine explosion. Without her my mom and I could not stand a month alone, I can't imagine my life without her... But I still have hope in her for win the hunger games after all she is the strongest person that I ever met! Her skills with the bow and arrow will definitely save her for more than one trouble. I have to stay positive, I'm not going to let the pessimism control my feelings, Katniss will make it to arrive to our home alive! I hate this dumb system!
The President Snow and the Capitol don't have any morals in their heads, why making the Hunger Games? We already understood our terrible past. I don't think that we are going yo repeat those events, the president Snow should reflect about this... Or probably he continue doing this because he wants to impose fear to the poor Districts and doesn't judge his titan for not making anything silly like a rebellion, but whatever I've never been a fan of politics.
Let's go back to the reaping, the moment when it started I was so nervous that I couldn't control my breath, I was sweating cold and my heart beat was rising however I shouldn't have any reasons to be like that after all my name was written in just one paper, but the destiny can do whatever it wants, so it picked me. When the presenter said my name I was paralysed, the fear toured all over my body I couldn't believed it I thought it was a bad dream, but unfortunately it wasn't. I wouldn't be mad if Katniss don't volunteer for me, I would have understood, but just thinking of going to that death tub it made me chill.
This day I felt all the emotions than a human can possible feel: Anger, fear, confuse, happiness, satisfaction, nostalgia, etc. I hope my sister can arrive safe to our home she knows that my mom and can't survive alone. I miss Katniss... I also want that someday the Hunger Games end for stop this heartless system once for all, it is just a stupid and unethical way of controlling the people, the capitol needs to use more of it unused brain. Well is too late I have to sleep, Katniss will make it alive I know I feel it!
