Outside Reading - 4/16 Post

So, I know I started on "Flags of Our Fathers" recently for my last blog post, but I finally got the Hunger Games. Yes, I know, everyone has the book so I won't restate as many things as others have been. First of all, in the first chapter of the book I have noticed things about a few characters that I never would have found out while watching the movie. I have not read much past the second chapter, but I hope to see the contrast between the book and the movie.

Since our poetry annotations were counted as our outside reading, I will be also talking about those poems. Many of the poems we have been reading seem to relate to our lives everyday. "Homage to my Hips" was quite an interesting poem, just the word meaning tripped me up a little but analyzing the poem was not much of a challenge. I have been enjoying poetry so far and hope to continue it longer!

  1. Nick, good post I have both read flags of our fathers and the whole hunger games trilogy. You are right about The differences between the book and movie. Hope you enjoy reading them!
