Point of View. Rue’s Journal--

Rue is the only tribute other than Peeta that Katniss grows close to. We get a sense of who Rue is through Katniss’ first-person perspective. We do not, however, get any glimpse of Rue’s internal monologue—that is, we do not know what Rue really thinks or how Rue really feels. Pretend that you are Rue and talking from her first person-point of view, describe the friendship and/or the events that build up around her and Katniss.

OR  Tone. A Eulogy for Rue--

A eulogy is a piece of writing that celebrates and commemorates the life of a person. It is usually spoken at a person’s funeral. Rue did not receive a proper funeral nor a proper eulogy. Pretend that Katniss has written a eulogy for Rue. Below, in Katniss’ voice write Rue’s eulogy. Be sure to capture Katniss’ emotions by writing in a sad and somber tone.

While writing, settled grade disputes.

 Start work on Katniss characterizatIon handout. Make sure to finish the book. Will continue Katniss characterization on Monday in class. (5th/6th to get then.)
