The Lunar New Year is celebrated by Chinese all around the world, and is (03) as the most

important traditional Chinese holiday. It holds special (04) in the hearts of many, as it is a time of

reunion and celebration for the families and friends, especially those who live geographically apart.

According to tales and legends, the origins of the Chinese New Year began with a battle (05) the

mythical creature, Nian, which is loosely translated into ‘Year’ in English. Every year, Nian would go around a village in

China devouring villagers, livestock, and anything it could set it claws on. As a form of protection for themselves, the

villagers would put food (06) their doors at the beginning of every year in the hope that Nian would

spare their lives.

Apart from the mythology behind the festival, customs and traditions are also an (07) aspect of the

Lunar New Year. On New Year’s Eve, family members gather at the home of the family patriarch for a sumptuous

up (09) , to catch up with each other. The (10) generation of children in the

family are particularly excited about this reunion as they will receive traditional red packets, also known as Ang Pows,

filled with cash from their elders. The Chinese see Ang Pows as a form of monetary blessing for the young ones for the year to come.

in   ¨and yet the books¨   by czelaw miloz the tone is positive since it tells us that when we touch a book, it starts to live and the perspective is in the third person and turns once into the first person. in "the rhinoceros" by eugene ionesco the tone is illogical and absurd   and the perspective is in the third person since it is a play.

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.
