The Hunger Games

                                                         


A post-apocalyptic world, ruled by the tyranny and cruelty is the stage where he spent the fascinating story written by author Suzanne Collins, who not imagine it, gave life to a captivating book series full of action and most importantly very human.

THE HUNGER GAMES fulfills everything a literary saga takes to become a global success, a suspenseful story with well-drawn characters, romance and scenes that really get to leave you without words.

The scenario of the Hunger Games goes from what could be perceived as the rural southern U.S. up to the most advanced metropolis imaginable, and it all takes place in a vividly imagined future.The Hunger Games is a very imaginative and exciting story that combines excitement, raw emotion and issues of freedom.

For me the scenario used I did not like because is science fiction in a read and I like things that come closest to reality or based on real events, but if I really like mark what they want to express, and we look and learn from the great personalities of several characters, especially learning from them, although it is a situation where we will not be involved, I think if we can adapt their way of seeing things, of acting, thinking daily what happens to us, to adapt to each individual problem.

The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

      Not everything in this is as it appears on a principle, as well as this story. After reading the story, I had a very different impression I had when I started to read. The author presents a town where everything is happy and makes you look like a village is completely fine, conn incredibly happy and everything is perfect. But when you think everything is fine, when we presented here is the irony of the story is that this happiness of this people is based on the misery of a child. The narrator makes you imagine how that child fence has nothing to civilization, they do not give a life to a human being. The people would rather be happy to change your happiness for a child. Although this is a story with a tragic tone, it is so sad to think that the real world in which we live. Sometimes prefer to be a happy or try to do over the happiness of another, no matter how bad it caused. A perfect example of this story which we live is when many people have the resources financially able to help many needy children as well as the living history of this inhuman life, ignore the need for these and all of them continue to be met and think themselves alone in their welfare regardless of the needs of others.

Myth & Legends

A myth (hidden meaning fake story, speech, emotive word) refers to a story that has a very profound explanation or symbols for a culture in which God is an explanation of the origin, existence and development of a civilization. A legend is a narrative oral or written, in prose or verse, more or less historical appearance, with greater or lesser proportion of imaginative elements. Are they more differences. In the similarities between myths and legends is that many of the myths and legends of creation in the world, even in different countries and contexts, agree in their desire to explain the relationship of humans with the universe, the phenomena of nature and also about our intricate social life. In many of these stories, the gods are represented as vital elements that have a direct relationship with the many situations and events that affect our lives on earth. Establishing linkages and relationships between the real and the imaginary, sometimes simple and sometimes chaotic and difficult to understand.

In the differences between myths and legends can be enumerated as follows:
1. The myth is a story that tries to explain a mystery of reality and is usually associated with the beliefs and rites of a people. The legend does not attempt to explain the supernatural because it is a story that highlights some characteristic or attribute of a town, city or region from real people and events.

2.Myth and legend differ as to the characters and the setting where events unfold.
The characters of the myth are usually gods or supernatural beings while the legend are almost always humans or anthropomorphic animals.

3.The myth and legend have different functions.

4.In the myth the extraordinary or supernatural is essential, in the legend is an accessory.

5.In the myth there is a "divine inspiration" that lets you know the man's explanation of a phenomenon because it occurs at the beginning of the world (God is the only one who can tell men what they otherwise would not know ). By contrast, in the legend is known about this because we know that has been passed from generation to generation, possibly from the moment someone witnessed the event occurred.

The type of the story like more is a legend because recounts events and has a moraLizing ends and is didactic. The legend that I like is the St.Nicolas or "Santa Clous", is one of the most interesting legends out there, not only for me but for the world. This legend is one of the biggest illusions that can have children, the highly anticipated December 25 to receive the gifts that they will leave. It has become one of the most famous legends and popular year after year. I find it so inetresante it is one of the things that gives more joy in every home and every child that is celebrated and many elderly looks.

Rhetorical Analysis of Aesop’s “The Ant & the Grasshopper”

• Information about AESOP

Little is known about the famous Greek fable writer Aesop. He probably lived around 600 BC and is said to have come from Phrygia. He is regarded as the father of fable-telling. Aesop was a Greek slave. Any records on this fabulist are based on legends and myths. It is said that he was very close to the people and shared his wisdom with the people in humorous and funny tales. Having served under several different masters as a slave, Aesop is said to have been set free by the Samian Iadmon and subsequently he is said to have lived at the court of king Croesus. King Croesus, who was amazed by Aesop's smart wit, sent him on various missions. During one of these missions to Delphi, Aesop is said to have been killed by the local priestess for blasphemy. The European tradition of fable writing was founded on the basis of Aesop's legacy.

Aesop's Fables have been told and re-told, then written and re-written countless times as a form of entertainment and education. Anecdotal and comic sketches were everyday forms of amusement in ancient Athens and Delphi. Today these works envelop many realms of life including psychology, politics, spirituality, education, health and well-being. Whether the man himself or Aesop the modern construct of scholars, his influence and commentary on human behaviour has been firmly established.

• What has changed and how has rhis changed your understanding of the story?

• Explain how this critical reading has changed your understanding of the story compared to when we first read it in class.

In my understanding the first reading was read in class for me was a simple and child to interpret it, but reading the second I realized that brings us the same message, that even a child could be seen more for us than the other carries the same moral is that everything in life involves a sacrifice and for everything there is to struggle and strive.

• Discuss how a critical understanding of Aesop's story shapes how your respond to Grosshan's modern version of Ant & Grasshopper. Wich version is better? Wich better reflects today's values? Why?

Aesop's version we see a story short, the author describes the story and more physically in this well there is more conversation between the characters and less narrative of the author. Anyway it's more simple and written for a child audience. In the modern version of Grosshan's  version a little more complex where they put the most adult and see what happens during life, in the first one was not so but we have the reaction that huvo between the ant and the grasshopper .But both end with the same education.

For me the best version is the first child because although it is more a story that happens a lot in the daily life of many people and more in the times in which we live. In the first story teaches us that in life there are priorities, and are the same who are often left to one side and leads to failure for not giving our maximum dedication to the things that are important in life. I think for everything there is time, is a matter of organizing. That is why for me the values ​​that better reflects the first but the second one shows also can.

The moral of the story has not changed, but if the understanding and in the first, written by Aesop fable is a child and the other characters are given more adult life but brings the same message. In the second story takes us to analyze more in the history of Aesop is a clearer and simpler.
