  • Bella Vs. Katniss


When comparing the two articles, the author, Noah Berlatsky, proposes his questions to the audience by asking this: In a fight between Bella and Katniss, who would win? He starts his comparison by showing how Bella needs some people to save her and that she lacks the self-confidence. However, when he starts talking about Katniss, he starts talking about her body counts in the Dirty Harry. He also provides more support for Kattiness than Bella which makes the article extremely biased. In the two articles, the author doesn’t compare them equally by saying that Bella is girly and clumsy while Katniss is a deadly hunter. However, this essay is questioning who is going to win the fight? Bella from Twilight and Katniss from The Hunger Games. The author,Berlatsky, compares the two girls by saying that Katniss would easily beat Bella. I agree when the author said that one had the characteristics of the other person's desire. How they are better  together as a team to balance each other out. Bella wanted power and had desire vs. Katniss who had power and wanted desire. Berlatsky seemed to build up the roles of the two women. He also worked on switching them,which I found was very true. Bella finally had the power she wished to have and became a vampire. I think that his analysis of Bella was biased saying that she was "hapless and an utter mess.” He also said that she has no talents other than her “desperation for romance.
