Catching Fire takes place in a futuristic community that is divided into Districts. District 12 is the one the main character Katniss Everdeen lives in. Katniss is a brave girl who is in her late teens. An example of Katniss being brave is when she crawls under an electric fence to get food for her friend Gale’s family. Kaniss is also very caring. Katniss shows an example of caring when Gale gets whipped and she carries him back to her house so his mom can treat his wounds. The conflict is external and it is person versus society. The conflict is when they are in the arena for the battle and Katniss and Peeta have to fight

The ‘Hunger Games’ is a way of controlling those in the capitols power. Comparison “All I can think is how unjust the whole thing is, the Hunger Games. Why am I hopping around like some trained dog trying to please people I hate?” communicates how Katniss feels the Capitol is corrupt and there ‘hunger games’ is a way to exert there power over those they control.

    Personal Response 3 Teen Dystopia

    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 Hunger Games Isu Journal

    For my independent novel study, I have decided to use Suzanne Collin’s Novel the Hunger Games; a story set around a teenaged girl’s firsthand account of gladiator-like sports in a post-apocalyptic era where North America once stood. The book creates a mood or sense of suspense and hope for Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist who has to fight for survival in the Hunger Games. This reminds me of and relates to the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Where in his novel, a group of boys are found stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere and must fight for their survival as well as hope to be rescued. Katniss, just like the boys, finds herself trapped in an arena with other tributes, but instead of joining up with them she must fight them to the death in order to survive. She also has hope for her family. That her mother and younger sister Prim are surviving without her being able to care for them by hunting and providing them with a proper meal.…

    In the story “The Hunger Games” Dystopian literature is portrayed as dictatorship within the government and it is seen as the antagonist in the story. Suzanne Collins exaggerated the government and how it was ran. Suzanne made the story written by a teenager who was independent and did not believe in what President Snow was doing to the country. She says “So I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.” This is said by Katniss Everdeen in the story.…
