Question

rue’s death increases katniss’s determination to win the games. as she watches rue die, katniss thinks, “i am determined to avenge her, to make her loss unforgettable, and i can only do that by winning and thereby making myself unforgettable” (collins 242). because rue had been helping katniss to destroy the careers’ supplies, the older girl feels responsible for her death. as a result, this event motivates katniss to seek revenge on those who took the young girl’s life by making sure that they are defeated in the games.

The text analyzes a character - Katniss's emotional and motivational response in a literary work (The Hunger Games). It presents a claim about how Rue's death affects Katniss, provides a direct quote as evidence, and then reasons about the cause - and - effect relationship between their actions and Katniss's motivation.

Answer:

The claim that Rue's death increases Katniss's determination to win the Games is well - supported by the evidence of Katniss's internal thoughts and the reasoning about her sense of responsibility.
