Read the paragraph again. the schoolwide food drive is an important program that the community and instills a sense of responsibility in students. last year, students collected over 600 canned goods and gave them to the neighborhood house food pantry, which serves some of the neediest families in our community. furthermore, many students said that with the drive was the first volunteer program they had ever participated in. finally, without the student council’s support, the food drive will not be officially promoted within school and will likely languish. therefore, it is imperative that the student council continue to encourage students to volunteer for this important program. what part of a good written argument is missing from the paragraph? evidence reason counterclaim argument

C) Counterclaim.

Explanation: In the given paragraph we can see the description of an argument about the importance of the student council encouraging students to volunteer for the schoolwide food drive program. We can also see the reason that is that if the school council doesn't participate, the program will likely languish, and the evidence of the productivity of this program (the recollection of over 600 canned goods, and the students participating in a volunteer program), the element that is missing from the paragraph is a counterclaim.

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.
