The Alliance

Authors Note: I wrote this cause and effect piece on the hunger games and the few chapters where Rue was alive. I chose the book the Hunger Games because it was my favorite books. The Rue scenes were my favorite because I felt like Rue and Katniss’s relationship was very touching. It made me so sad when Rue got killed   

In the book the hunger games 24 kids go to a game called to go the hunger games if they get picked at the hunger games. There are several climaxes in the book the hunger games.  One of the turning points is when Katniss takes Rue in as an ally. This is a turning point because it made them take a liking to each other so this made a dramatic scene when Rue died which caused and outbreak in district 8 which also caused some of the trouble Katniss got into after the games. The main event that led up to this climax would be the tracker jacker incident. When the tracker jackers bit Katniss she passed out for 2 days so Rue looked out and took care or her, so when she woke up she decided to form an alliance with her.

Some things that happened because of this event was the riot in district 8. The reason they broke out in a riot was because of what Katniss did to Rues body, she decorated her body with flowers and gave the symbol for respect to the screen to show that she had respect for district 8.
