Jonathan & Katniss

Author's Note: This is a comparative essay for Language Arts. I am working on Idea Development. Any feedback would be great. 

Have you ever thought about going to war? Maybe you want to or not. Katniss, the Hunger Games, & Jonathan, The Fighting Ground, are both in war, but will they live? There are many similarities between the two, but the there are differences, Yet they still have the same importance to the war.

Jonathan & Katniss are both very important to the war. Both of them are really fighting in the war but they are helping in a way that really affects the war. Katniss doesn't fight in the war, but she is the face of the rebellion. Jonathan tried to fight in the war but was captured. Once he escaped the Americans wanted him just so he could sneak into the Cabin and say if the Hessians were still sleeping. They were the Pawns.

Both of them couldn't really decide which side they were on. Yes, Katniss was with the rebels and Jonathan was an American, but could either of them really trust anyone. Katniss ended up killing Coin, The leader of the rebels, instead of Snow, Leader of the Capitol. Jonathan went back into the cabin to see if the Hessians were still sleeping, but instead he woke up the Hessians and warned them that the Americans were outside. They both didn’t trust the side they were on.

There is one difference between the two.  Katniss became the face of the rebellion after the stunt with berries. She went to war, she never wanted to but was forced to. All Jonathan wanted to do was fight in the war. His dad didn't want him to but he did any ways. After all that had happened I don't think that either of them ever want to experience that again. 

Both of them are important but are still just pawns. They probably didn't expect anything that this to ever happen in their lives, and it made a huge impact to their lives. An experience they will never forget.
