Compare and Contrast
Weak, miniscule, inexperienced, underdogs. Needs to be strong, gigantic,and well known to survive. The two girls are vital to Katniss’s survival in the Hunger Games. These girls are heartwarming, and tell Katniss she can’t die because she needs to protect them from the Capitol.They give her a reason to smile and survive. They are alike and different in many ways; though the differences between Primrose and Rue are pronounced, the similarities overpower them significantly.
Rue and Prim are different in many ways; though most of them small they make a huge difference. First, lets look at the Districts. Rue is in D11 and Prim in D12. One is for harvesting orchards and the other is for coal mining.Lets also look at work and there conditions. Rue works 12 hours per day in the fields. Prim goes to school. So at D11 12+ work, while at D12 16+ work. D11 has shot people, while D12 hasn’t. Next, physical characteristics. Rue’s a small black girl who has beads in her braids. Primrose is a small caucasian girl who just wears braids.Finally, one is safe , while one is not.Prim is safe from danger because Katniss volunteered as a tribute. Rue didn’t have anyone because she was the older sibling.
“Rue reminds me so much of Prim.”That is similar to what Katniss said about Rue and Prim’s similarities in the book while she met Rue during the Hunger Games.Rue and Prim’s similarities overpower the differences by a landslide.One they both were tributes. Just one went to the Hunger Games because someone didn’t have a older sibling for her to protect her.Two, they both need to be strong to survive.They can’t be crying when there is someone trying to kill them in the Capitol. They need to train to be mentally, emotionally, and physically strong.Three, they are both killed. Both times it was murder. Four, They both have some form of pet. Rue has the mockingjays, while Prim has Buttercup.Five, they are both poor families. Rue and her family both had to work. Katniss had to take food from the Capitol with a higher chance to get in the Hunger Games.Finally Six, they both were immensely beautiful.Katniss describes Prim in the beginning as fragile, and beautiful.
Although Rue and Prim are different in some ways, it is the large amount of small similarities that make their bind special. At first I thought Rue and Prim would be very different, but they were actually very similar. So next time you read The Hunger Games remember not to confuse Rue from Prim.
