EXAMPLE ESSAY H4D 1st paragraph

I have read two books that I really enjoyed, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hunger Games is a dystopian novel, which means it's set in a future world where a harsh government forces children to fight each other in a deadly game. The main character, Katniss Everdeen, volunteers to take her sister’s place in the games. The Hobbit is a fantasy book about Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who goes on an adventure with a group of dwarves to take back treasure from a dragon. While both books have action, they are very different in terms of setting and the world they take place in.

EXAMPLE ESSAY H4D 2nd paragraph

The main themes in The Hunger Games are survival and fighting against an unfair system. Katniss has to survive in a deadly arena, but she also becomes a symbol of hope for people who want to change their world. In The Hobbit, the main themes are adventure and the unknown. Bilbo starts off as an ordinary hobbit, but when he goes on an unexpected journey with the dwarves, he faces many challenges and encounters strange creatures. The theme of adventure highlights how stepping into the unknown can lead to amazing experiences, even if it's scary at first.

EXAMPLE ESSAY H4D 3rd paragraph

In The Hunger Games, Katniss develops from a scared, protective sister into a strong leader who becomes a symbol of resistance. Her main characteristic is her resilience—she does whatever it takes to survive, even when things seem impossible. In The Hobbit, Bilbo starts off as a quiet and unsure hobbit, but by the end of the book, he shows incredible bravery and cleverness. His main trait is his ability to think quickly and use his mind to solve problems, even in dangerous situations.

EXAMPLE ESSAY H4D 4th paragraph

If I had to recommend one of these books, I would choose The Hunger Games. I think it’s more exciting and emotional because it deals with survival and fighting for what is right. While The Hobbit is a great book with lots of adventure, The Hunger Games is more gripping and keeps you wanting to read more.

EXAMPLE ESSAY H4C 1st paragraph

I recently read two interesting books, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Both books explore important themes like identity, personal growth, and friendship. Ready Player One focuses on technology and virtual reality, while The Perks of Being a Wallflower looks at mental health and the challenges of growing up. I chose these themes because they reflect real-life struggles. For example, in Ready Player One, Wade discovers who he is through his adventures in the OASIS, while in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Charlie deals with his past and learns about friendship.

EXAMPLE ESSAY H4C 2nd paragraph

The main characters in both books grow a lot during their stories. In Ready Player One, Wade starts out as a shy gamer, but over time he becomes more confident. His main strength is his intelligence, but he learns that trusting others and working as a team are just as important. In The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Charlie is also shy and keeps his feelings inside. He is sensitive, but as the story goes on, he opens up about his past and learns to accept help from his friends. A key moment for Charlie is when he finally talks about his childhood trauma, which helps him heal.

EXAMPLE ESSAY H4C 3rd paragraph

The settings of the books are important too. Ready Player One is set in a future where most people spend their time in a virtual world called OASIS. This setting is important because it shows how technology affects people’s lives. In contrast, The Perks of Being a Wallflower takes place in a high school in the 1990s. This makes the story feel real and easy to relate to, especially for people who have gone through similar experiences.

EXAMPLE ESSAY H4C 4th paragraph

Both books are great, but The Perks of Being a Wallflower is my favorite. It is a moving tale about growing up and overcoming personal struggles, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys heartfelt, emotional stories.
