Thesis and Quotes for Hunger Games Essay

B. Thesis: “Katniss’s feelings for Gale and for Peeta both stem from an impulse to survive. However, when her survival is no longer threatened, Katniss’s feelings for Gale remain strong while her feelings for Peeta begin to dissolve.”

Quote 1 - “Gale wont have any trouble finding a wife. He’s good-looking, he’s strong enough to handle the work in the mines, and he can hunt. You can tell by the way the girls whisper about him when he walks by in the school that they want him. It makes me jealous but not for the reason people would think. Good hunting partners are hard to find” (10).

Quote 2 - “The boy took one look back to the bakery as if checking that the coast was clear, then, his attention back on the pig, he threw a loaf of bread in my direction. The second quickly followed, and he sloshed back to the bakery, closing the kitchen door tightly behind him” (31).

Quote 3 - “Gale. The idea of seeing Gale in a manner of hours makes my stomach churn. But why? I can’t quite frame it in my mind. I only know that I feel like I’ve been lying to someone who trusts me” (371).

Quote 4 - “I want to tell him that he’s not being fair. That we were strangers. That I did what it took to stay alive, to keep us both alive in the arena. That I can’t explain how things are with Gale because I don’t know myself. That’s it’s no good loving me because I’m never going to get married anyway. That if I do have feelings for him, it doesn’t matter….”

    The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins) focuses on the main character Katniss and her journey to revolt against the corrupt power system of her government the capitol. 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.

    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…

    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.…
