The Hunger Games assessment

I did a Hunger Games flyer for the assessment. I picked this assignment because I enjoy making posters or flyers, and I thought it would be really cool to make one to announce the Hunger Games. I had to have a Capitol frame of mind, because the Capitol views the Hunger Games as entertainment, not the way we know it, from Katniss' point of view.

Gale's Diary

We chose to do Gale's diary because we thought it would be interesting to write about how we thought it would be like for Gale. It was fun to see the Hunger Games from a viewers point of view, because this whole time, its been from Katniss's point of view. We chose to do it from a lovesick point of view, because we know from reading the following books that he does like her.

HG Assessment Menu Greasy Sae

I chose to do a second menu, but this time I chose to do one for Greasy Sae's kitchen. She has been mentioned before in the books, mostly for her strange concoctions, so I thought it would be fun to do her menu. I didn't really put alot of items, because living in a poor district, your choices are sort of limited. I added a surprise soup, because to me that shows that what is actually in the soup is a bit dodgy. I did include the "winter special" mentioned in the Hunger Games, because I thought that was a very unique dish. I had fun doing it!

HG Assessment Menu of Capitol

I chose to do a menu for the Capitol. The reason that I chose this was because I thought it was interesting to see what type of food they eat in the Capitol, because we know what kind of food Katniss and all the people in District 12 eat, and I wanted to see how different it was. The Capitol food is somewhat similar to the food that we eat for lunch, dinner or even breakfast, so it was fun to try and think of the types of food they would have, and I also added the food I would like to have on my ideal menu.

Diary of Haymitch

Sara and I chose to do this diary because we both found the character of Haymitch very interesting. I always wanted to know what went on inside his head, how he felt about having to mentor all these kids, and what better way than to create it yourself? The book is such an intense book, that it was really exciting to write from Haymitch's point of view, especially when he is such an important character. I read all I could about Haymitch, to get a better grasp of his character traits. I tried to imagine why he would let himself go to such waste. I really think this diary entry shows how the Hunger Games has been such an emotional blow for Haymitch, and we think it is like this for all of the past victors. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger.
