Perspective Journal: the Hunger Games Catching Fire
Perspective Journal
Gale
Entry 1: Today Katniss and Peeta were at the Capitol for the Victory Tour. When they were being interviewed Peeta proposed to Katniss! Even worse Katniss said yes! I thought all of it was an act for the Games. Katniss said it was so why in the world would they be getting married now? The Games are over. Their strategy shouldn’t be needed anymore. Katniss can’t really be in love with Peeta can she? She couldn’t have lied to me that it was all an act during the Games. If they are actually going to get married it has to be an act. Katniss said it was an act and I believe her so it has to be fake. Peeta and Katniss must have to get married for a very important cause. They can’t go through with it though right? If they do get married I’ll never even get a chance to be with Katniss. Her and Peeta will always have to be together and then we will lose whatever we have together right now!
Entry 2: This morning Katniss told me that President Snow threatened to kill me and our families! She wants us to run away with our families. I liked the thought of this because I wanted to run away before the Games ever happened. Then, she said she wanted to bring Haymitch, Peeta, and his family too. This set me off because this could have been my chance for it to be just Katniss and me with no other distractions. I could do with Haymitch coming but not Peeta. I don’t like Peeta being around Katniss at all. I feel like he is pulling her away from me and towards him. She put the great thought in my head. Her family and mine getting out of District 12 and living in the woods. Then, she just blasted it away by wanting to bring Peeta and his family with. Sometimes I just wish Peeta would have been killed in the arena. Demolished
Entry 3: On my way back from my talk with Katniss in the woods I killed a wild turkey. I thought I would take it to Cray since he likes them and pays well. I went to his door and knocked but it wasn’t him that answered. A different

    Jasper Jones Chapter 7 Summary

    Chapter 7: Katniss sleeps with nightmares, and when she drags herself into the shower in the morning, she fumbles with the automatic buttons, spraying herself in hot and cold streams of water. She dresses herself in a practical outfit that’s been laid out for her and ties her hair in a single braid, before heading down to see if there’s food in the dining room. Katniss’s thoughts of Prim and her mother make her homesick, but they also motivate her. She wants to give them comfort by performing well.

    Gale Hawthorne versus Peeta Mellark

    “May the odds be forever in your favor,” were the last words she heard before being sent away to the Capitols entertainment battlefield. “…Quote from Caesar Flickerman about them winning at the end…..” said Caesar Flickerman, the host of the Hunger Games television show in a cheerful voice though peopled had just been slaughtered all in the name of entertainment. Little do the people of the Capitol know, Katniss’ love for Peeta could have been all for show, because her heart has secretly been left at home with her boyfriend, Gale Hawthorne. In the beginning it appears as though Gale Hawthorne is Katniss’ only love; however, upon volunteering herself as tribute in place of her sister, she grows closer to a bakery boy from her same district, who had been in love with her ever since the moment he laid eyes on her, and realizes the significance of each and how each helps her succeed in the Games.

    'Julius Caesar And Katniss In Suzanne Collins Catching Fire'

    Through the use of language techniques and character manipulation she portrays this contriving conviction to the reader. Katniss uses an imperative "Okay, I figured out what I'm asking," I say. "If it is Peeta and me in the Games, this time we try to keep him alive." To convey her wishes to save Peeta and the addition of the italics of the word “him” enhances the depth of her feelings. “And one of us is going to be victor again whether you two like it or not!” through the use of his indifferent tone Peeta conveys his courage to Katniss which also acts to empower her. He shows his courage, as he knows that he may not survive, as it is his plan to do anything possible to save Katniss just as she plans to do for him. This is where the major conflicting perspective lies between the two as they are both attempting to save the others life because of their resonating love. This is similar to the conflict between Brutus and Cassius where Brutus kills Caesar for the good of Rome “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more” the use of juxtaposition accentuates the love that Brutus has for Rome just like the love Peeta and Katniss have for each other and how powerful a motivator this can be in any situation. Cassius on the other hand is motivated by his greed and jealousy “this man is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature, and must bend his body if Caesar carelessly but nod on him” The use of hyperbole and metaphor emphasizes this and resonates the conflicting motives between Cassius and Brutus. The Quarter Quell of the Hunger games sets the perfect background for Collins to shape the characters in a way that reflects her perceived viewpoint of conflicting perspectives which is also presented to the audience by Shakespeare in the events…

    Mockingjay Book Report

    Mockingjay continues right where Catching Fire left off. Katniss is extracted from the Quartell Quell along with others who were also in the Quarter Quell. One person who was not there was Peeta. Peeta is still missing, and Katniss is going to save him. Peeta sends the rebels a coded message warning them that the Capitol will attack them. The Capitol finds out, and responds to this by torturing Peeta. The Capitol continues the bombing of District 13 just as Peeta predicted. The Capitol begins to brainwash Peeta, and makes Peeta believe that Katniss is the enemy. Peeta tries to kill Katniss, but she escapes and heads back to District 2. Katniss tries to get back to the fight, and gets shot once again, and bonds with Victor while she is recovering from the wound. After Katniss is done recovering she tries to do whatever she can to get back into the fight. During the fight, Katniss is put into the same unit as Peeta. This worries Katniss, and Commander Boggs. Commander Boggs dies, but before he dies he gives Katniss the command of the unit. Katniss decides that she is going to go on a secret mission to assassinate President Snow. The unit decides to help Katniss, and only 3 survive on their way. Those 3 include Katniss, Gale, and Peeta. They end up getting separated and Prim dies.

    Hunger Games Narrative

    Since this is a unit that is focused around The Hunger Games, the reading portion of the lessons is rather obvious, as students need to read and comprehend the book to be successful. They are also asked to read various articles and interpret texts in order to respond thoughtfully and appropriately to discussion and writing topics. Since the reading aspect of language was covered, I tried to focus on the importance of incorporating the remaining three language skills – writing, speaking and listening – while creating this unit. I did this by paying special attention to ensuring that discussion and dialogue were abundant to allow students the opportunity to not only share their own ideas but also…

    Mockingjay Essay

    The book I chose to read for my second quarter government book was The Mocking Jay from the Hunger games series. The author of this book is Suzanne Collins. There is a lot that goes on in the story, involving many things in the war of her districts. It is causing a rebellion in the districts. Katniss takes stock of her new position as a rebel in District 13. Only three victors were saved from the arena from the last book from the Hunger games series; Beetee who is an old man from District 3, also known as Volts, Finnick who is the the victor from District 4 and Katniss's first ally and Katniss herself, but Peeta wasn't one of them – he's still missing, along with other victors, Enobaria who is the female tribute from District 2, Johanna who is the tribute from District 7, and Annie who wasn't in the Quarter Quell but was arrested when the arena blew up. Katniss is still haunted by Snow and fears for Peeta's life. The book starts in District 12, which has been reduced to ashes. Katniss alone wanted to see the district herself. This is about a month after the arena was blown up. While she is there, she takes back Buttercup who is Prim's cat, her father's old hunting jacket, a photo of her mother's wedding, and a book of plants. Before she leaves, she notices one of Snow's white roses on her dresser.…

    Dystopian Essay On The Hunger Games

    The last reason The Hunger Games is a dystopian novel is free speech isn’t given. Katniss said, “ When I was younger, I scared my mother to death, the things I would blurt out about District 12 about the people who ruled our country Panem...I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.” Katniss’s mother must have known of something that happened previously to someone that spoke badly about the Capitol. This is the reason she would get scared when Katniss would use her free speech and say what was on her mind.…

Walking around the district today just has me realize how horrible everything has truly become. After being with Katniss this afternoon I started really begin freaking out. I told her that she would be fine and that she had nothing to worry about but on a day like this that isn’t possible, nobody is in the clear on the day of the reaping.…
