You want to adopt a dog and you’ve decided to go to a shelter for a puppy. A shelter dog is a great idea! But before you lose your heart to a cute pup, take a look at the adults, too. Older dogs may be less fluffy and adorable, but they have many advantages over a puppy. There are fewer surprises and less work when introducing an adult dog into your home. And sadly, they need you more. A senior dog can blend into your life more smoothly. Many were pets before and are already housebroken and socialized. They are long past the age of chewing everything they see, and often know basic commands. Adult dogs need less attention and exercise, and are happy to simply spend time with you without demanding constant attention. They won’t surprise you by growing bigger or developing an unexpected personality, either. Convenience is a good reason to adopt a senior dog, but an even better one is compassion. Shelters and rescue groups report that senior animals are the least likely to be adopted. As a result, they are often the first to be euthanized when crowding occurs. Even in no-kill settings, many languish, caged and unwanted, for years. These older but wiser dogs will love you wholeheartedly for rescuing them. Write an effective conclusion paragraph for this essay.

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.
