"The Fox and the Grapes" from Aesop's Fables (adapted)
One hot summer's day, a Fox was strolling through an orchard until he came to a bunch of Grapes that had just been ripening on a vine, which
had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," the Fox had stated to himself after pondering how long it had been
since he had something to drink. The run, which seemed to last an eternity when you are already tired, proved to be unsuccessful, because just
as he jumped, he missed the bunch. The Fox, who always had had great confidence in his abilities, jumped with all his strength, but he had no
success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsels, but at last he had given up and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am
sure they are sour."
Which statement best describes the symbolism in the text?
OA. The lofty branch represents wealth and riches.
OB. The Fox represents one who is goal orientated.
OC. The sour grapes represent a negative attitude.

Explanation:

took the quiz

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.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
