  7. BEFORE WRITING A REFLECTION: • Determine two or three main themes or issues from the book that you felt strongly about or that you believed were especially striking. • Hunger Games Example: • Dystopia (A place in which everything is unpleasant or bad, ruled by a totalitarian/dictatorship type government) • Obedience

  8. Paragraph 1: Paragraph 1 introduces the text and highlights the main topics you will be discussing later in the paper. Sentence 1: Just like in a summary, you will introduce author and title, BUT you can also add in your opinion • Summary: “In The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, characters must fight to the death for the pleasure of the upper class Capitol citizens.” • Reflection: “In The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, a horrific scene occurs every year in which characters must fight to the death for the pleasure of the upper class Capitol citizens.

  9. Paragraph 1 (cont’d) Sentences 2-6(ish) should highlight what you will be discussing the remainder of the paper. • Sentence 2: Dystopia. The dystopian society was shocking and unnatural, though perhaps a scary reflection of what any society could become. • Sentence 3: Obedience. What was even more shocking, however, was that people obeyed this rule and followed through with murdering one another to win the “Hunger Games.” • Sentence 4: Conclusion/Overall. While Collins writes on a gruesome subject, it is good to open our eyes and consider where the citizens in this dystopia made their mistakes.

  10. Paragraph 2: • Paragraph 2 will be all about the first topic you chose (in this case, dystopia). • Expand on your thoughts, beliefs about this topic. • Though dystopia is made very apparent and obvious in this book, sometimes dystopia is not so obvious. • Use examples from the book to show how this topic is portrayed in the book. • It is clearly portrayed in the book, as Collins writes of one of the places in the book, “District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety.” • If you can, connect it to something in our world today (or your life) • The dystopia is evident in the book, but what is less evident is the dystopia that happens in our world today.

  11. Paragraph 3: • Paragraph 3 will be the same as paragraph 2, only about your other topic. (In this case, obedience) • For now, you will not need a conclusion paragraph for your reflections.
