Connector Ch.14-17 meeting #4
Rue reminds me of Pocahontas because she puts of the appearance of being small and gentle, but she can put up a good fight and evade danger well. This reminds me of real life when you always have a plan that you think is going to go pefectly, but then it gets destroyed so easily. I think Katniss was confident that her plan was going to work, and after setting off the fireworks she thought it did work, but the plan backfired and her companion suffered the consequences. Also in some parts of the book the action resides and you feel like she's just taking a hiking trip with her orange backpack, but then the tension rises again. This reminds me of the times in movies when a person's hiking, the birds are singing, and then all the sudden they stop. The calmness of silence swirls over the hiker, but then a bear appears and attacks. Did you guys feel any connections like this when she was walking over to destroy the careers' food supply?

Omg, so long ago D:
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the Pocahontas statement xD And honestly, I was too caught up in the moment of the book to notice any connections D: Action scenes i read at double speed..
Great connection! It would make sense because I always thought Rue was like one of those people who were "one with the nature", haha, but seriously that's a great way of putting it.
