Catching Fire
Catching Fire is the second book of the Hunger games, The main characters are Katniss, a beautiful strong young 17 year old who is very outspoken and courageous. Peeta, A generous young man that is in love with Katniss, and Gale, Haymich, President snow and Prim katniss’s younger sister, ect. The book takes place in Districts, and the capitol for the games which is a big open field in the wild forests where they fight for their own survival. Suzanne Marie Collins is an American television writer and novelist, best known as the author of The New York Times best selling series The Under land Chronicles and The Hunger Games
She has two kids, Went to Alabama school of fine arts, and she is happily married.
The Hunger Games series is considered dystopia fiction because it features a world in which people live in miserable conditions and that often involves, war, oppression, violence, suffering, lack of freedom, and poverty. It takes place in the future also. I think the author is trying to tell us about the government and what can take place in the future in today’s society. I think that the author's purpose in writing the book is to show how the government is corrupt and how that could possibly be us one day. The government in the book is the main villain, and the book shows you a lot about how the government works in ways such as taking control of their people without letting them even have their own thoughts or freedom of speech. I believe this because the entire book is based on how Katniss despises the Capitol, which is their form of government. She hates the government because of what they do yearly, The Hunger Games.

    In today’s society, a lot of people tend to take for granted what they have. Every once and a while, something drastic will ensue them, and that’s when they finally grasp what’s been right in front of them the whole time. In many different societies, for example the societies in The Hunger Games, and Anthem, the individuals that are living there are forced to listen to the ruler, or rulers, do not have an opinion in some of the choices that are made for them, and are also forced to accept the rule of selflessness.

    Teen Dystopia by Sophie Boyer is an opinionated piece that explains the reason we are so attracted to novels such as The Hunger Games. A reason such a novel is so appealing is because of the action packed plot and powerful symbolism weaved throughout. A story set in future North America, where climate change has destroyed society is where teenagers participate in a gruesome fight to the death called the Hunger Games. That heady combination results to complex yet relatable characters and most of all, a meaningful story. Hence, that is the reason why Boyer regards The Hunger Games as a “well-constructed allegory that also reflects a more realistic portrayal of our world .” Personally, I also admire authors who can create an abstract world so flawlessly that they still remain relatable. Even though The Hunger Games takes place in a different time period; where the world is overly violent, it leads to a new social awareness. As Boyer pointed out, “this awareness leads to a more tragic understanding of the world, but never without the hope of a better future.” When I read The Hunger Games it felt like it was situated in a world so seemingly different from ours, that I didn’t realise until the end, that it is based on a bit of reality. The Hunger Games highlights social issues of poverty, devaluing human life, and classism to make us aware that it still exists in the world, our world. Overall, The Hunger Games is a book that reveals the depressing reality of some places in the world, yet Boyer and I believe that The Hunger Games sends a good message to us readers: to live life to the fullest and never take life for granted.…

    The most important aspects in the hole story are that Katniss volunteers herself instead of her sister, and in there is when the story began. How she represents by herself the rebellion of The Districts. The story of Katniss is reading in the first person; Suzanne represent herself in the story. She wanted that people who read this story felt that they were Katniss. Also Suzanne makes roses to be the principal symbol of evil and repression of President Snow; he left whites roses when he kills. The ending of the story was kind of satisfactory, because she really fights against the oppression of The Capitol and President Snow, but in the other hand I would like that the ending was different. The main idea of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy is to never give up even when we face a lot of problems in our life; we always have to fight against those problems. I recommend this book to be read, because is interesting and if you like science fiction and action stories, you are going to be catch by Katniss’…

    This episode of the best-selling trilogy is written in first-person point of view. We are only allowed to know the thoughts and feelings of the main character, Katniss, causing us to wonder what other characters are thinking and feeling as well. This also causes us to create a deeper connection with Katniss. For instance, in the first book of the trilogy Katniss has a flashback in the arena about the explosion in the mines that killed her father. She relives this memory often and often reminisces of the times before her father died. Overall, the point of view of the story ultimately helps the reader identify with the main character. The point of view in this story causes it to be more relatable.…
