Hunger Games Summery
Susan Collins is one of the best novelist I have ever read. The Hunger Games is a action packed packed science fiction novel full of love, betrayal and the willing to service. The Hunger Games displays three core values witch consist of independence, tolerance, and diversity.

Katness is the main character and displays qualities of independence all through out the book. At the beginning of the book Katness is a member of a poor family that lives in the seam. She can not relay on the money that they have to put food on the table so she has to be independent and go hunt for food herself. Also for most of her time in the arena she is working independently and not with any allies or working together with other people until she finds Rue.

Katness finds out at the interviews for the games that Pieta likes her. She dose not like it at first but learns to tolerate it anad it becomes one of her biggest assets in the game. She finds Pieta in the areana and together they win the games all because Katness learned to tolerate and love Pieta otherwise nether of them would have come out alive.

All through out the book there is diversity. In District Twelve Katness’ and Pieta’s home there is the seam the victors village witch every district has and the the merchant houses. All twelve districts make something for The Capital as well. And all twelve districts have people with different levels of strengths people from district twelve are weaker then the people from district two and one because two and one get the best benefits with The Capital.

The Hunger Games is a great read for almost anyone. It also displays core values of independence, tolerance and

    In Teen Dystopia: Should we be worried about what Generation Z is reading?, the author, Sophie Boyer debates whether The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is a suitable book for our generation to read.

    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.…

    Katniss faced much adversity in her life from her father dying in a mine accident, her having to find food so her and her sister did not starve, and her taking the place of her sister when she is picked to take place in the hunger games. This relates to a lot of people because we face challenges in everyday life, but like Katniss we must be able to overcome these challenges and make the best of it. Katniss also showed a lot of bravery by taking the places of her sister in The Hunger Games this act of bravery is something that many people would not do. If you want to be brave in your life you must be able to sacrifice yourself for another person this is another reason why I believe this book related to so many people.…

    Throughout The Hunger Games, there are vast similarities when you compare Panem and the real world current events. Suzanne Collins shows us what is wrong with the world through her literary work. She thinks that when people read her book that they would make that connection and take notice on the world and would want to make a difference. This book is an easier way of seeing the world for the people who are having trouble seeing it for what it really is. The Hunger Games may be fictional, but these are very real problems we are having everywhere present-day that including the United States and those problems are food, politics, competition and entertainment, sacrifice, and war.…

    The first two books are extremely well-written, dramatic novels that grab your attention and don’t let go. The characters are described with such vividity that you see a real person, with real emotions and feelings. Not only the characters, but the whole Hunger Games universe is described with such a realism you can picture yourself in the storyline. The plot, until the third book, has beautiful twists and turns, smaller stories within the story itself, and a great deal of excitement. The Hunger Games trilogy will make you feel the emotions the characters feel. While reading you hurt with Katniss when Rue dies, you feel elated when Peeta and Katniss both survive their first Hunger Games, and you are angry at the injustice of The Capitol. All these wonderful things make up what is called The Hunger Games, and if you overlook the unrestrained, graphic violence and the ending of the last book, then I have nothing but praise for Suzanne Collins’s trilogy. But I cannot. I cannot simply dismiss the excessive violence, the depressing mood of Mockingjay, and I cannot just forget about the worst ending ever…
