By receiving these books, my students will be able to engage in the elements of literature while also being able to connect to and empathize with the protagonist. Students nowadays seem to stay away from reading because the texts they are "forced" to read do not relate to their period of life nor their interests. I will say, the classics do have their benefits, but it's more engaging for the students to balance the classics with young adult literature. Many critics argue that young adult literature does not have any educational benefits, but I disagree. I will use "The Hunger Games" to teach the same literary elements (i.e. similes, metaphors, theme, etc.) while also bridging connections between my students' experiences and Katniss's adventures throughout the novel. With these books, the students will also be able to create a book-to-movie comparison that will help them visualize and analyze the different scenes and themes within the novel. The age-old argument is that "the book is always better than the movie," but comparing the two leads to more enrichment and engagement with the story's themes and overall messages.
