Comparing Katniss And Fahrenheit 451, By Suzanne Collins

Decision: a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration. Every time you make a choice, there is the potential to change your life. A single decision in time, big or small, can easily define the rest of a person's life.

In The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the world as the main character, Katniss, knows it revolves around an annual game of murder. The participants are children and have no choice, so when Katniss makes a choice - a life threatening choice - to take her sister's place, it is monumental in determining her fate. By making a decision at one time or another, she changed her life and her world for the better.

As well as Katniss, Guy Montag, in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, also takes chances that define him. The world

as Montag knows it is bland and simple: there is no creativity, all risks are monitored until there are none, and all forms of leisure are brainless, easy, mundane, time-wasting objects. Montag, a simple man, works as a firefighter and burns books, but only until he reads one. Soon he makes the decision to take a book, then another, and another, until he has exposed his illegal activities and put himself in danger. Eventually, to do what he wants he has to change his life entirely. By making one decision - which caused more decisions - he forged a new life, a better life.
Change: the act or instance of making or becoming. One decision, no matter how small, can have an enormous impact on you. A single action could cause a ripple that could twist, overlap, and even flow back to you to change your life forever.
