    The coming of age story template has been around for thousands of years, and has stayed the same throughout those years. The template has not died despite it’s seemingly eternal existence.

    When an author picks up a pen and paper and begins to articulate his/her thoughts, there is only one objective in mind, which is to deliver a consequential message. An author will not write a piece of text without a meaning to go along with the purpose. If there is no meaning being generated, then the text will have no value. The type of form that one may use depends on how one would like to execute the purpose of the text. The reader will not understand what the text means without knowing what the purpose of the text is.…

    Dystopian literature can be very similar between different pieces of writing even though they may not seem alike each other at first. Many dystopian books are different and seem like that once you have finished reading them, but once you analyse them and look deeper you can realise how they are very much alike in many areas. William Golding and Suzanne Collins both use internal and external conflicts to present a bleak warning of the future; this is shown similarly in their novels “Lord of the Flies” and “The Hunger Games” Many characters in both of these novels often struggle with making difficult decisions; this is an internal conflict. In “The Hunger Games” Katniss has to decide whether to run to the cornucopia or run for the forest like her mentor has told her to do, she is having a hard time deciding because it could mean the difference between her winning or losing the hunger games. In “The Lord Of The Flies”…

    In the novel, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and the movie Divergent both interpret many similarities, in conjunction with many differences. The novel is about a nation of Panem which is divided into 12 districts along with the Capitol. The protagonist is a girl named Katniss Everdeen who is forced to engage in a fight-to-the-death tournament after volunteering as tribute, in replacement of her sister. Divergent well demonstrates very similar concepts as it took place in a dystopian society leading to dehumanized and often fearful lives. Both signify that sacrifice is chosen from oneself whereas courage comes from the…

    The Divergent and The Hunger Games, both books are of the Young Adult Genre, set in future dystopian societies which on the brink of new civil unrest. Interesting highlight is that both have a female character as the narrator of their own stories and they have some beautiful personality being generous, loyal to moral, facing to challenge, having hope (always and maybe the most significant thing about these two stories), catching, fascinating , being loved (Peeta Mellark in Hunger games and Tobias Eaton in Divergent), naturally talented (being 100% divergent for Tris and hunting skills and sharp instincts for Katniss), making certain alliances, doing things that go against her personal beliefs and discover her hidden strengths in order to survive.…
