The Hunger Games universe is set in the country named Panem, and is built on a dictatorship. The country consists of a wealthy capitol and 12 districts which are in varying states of poverty. Every year, two children from each district are selected to participate in a televised death match called The Hunger Games. There are 24 tributes in the beginning, but in the end only one will be victorious.
The story starts with the introduction of the main character – Katniss Everdeen, and her loyal best friend – Gale. Katniss and Gale are both the breadwinners of their families, they complete their daily routine of hunting together and are selling their catch on a market – illegally of course. However, the peace in Panem can’t last too long – her sister, Primrose/Prim, is selected to participate in the 74th Hunger Games and Katniss volunteers to take her place. The District 12 gets its first volunteer in the history.
Before the games start, we find out that Peeta – the male tribute from District 12, has long ago developed romantic feelings for Katniss. They’re advised by their mentor to play along with that outburst, in order to gain more wealthy sponsors. Their story gains a big amount of attention and the Capitol portrays them

The whole story itself would be much better without romantic feelings between the two main tributes. We’ve known about Peetas’crush on Katniss even before the games started, and towards the end, we also understand that Katnisss herself began to develop feelings. In my perspective, it would be interesting to see something different from the other stories, I would rather see her rejecting Peetas’feelings and just playing along to the act for the sake of attention. Later, through the series their feelings will grow even more and become something more, and that made me really disappointed. Therefore, the first Hunger Games movie will get four stars from
The movie The Hunger Games follows the Hero’s journey. The first part of the Hero’s journey is Departure. Katniss receives a call to adventure when her younger sister Prim is called as a tribute for the Hunger Games. Next Katniss accepts the call right away. She volunteers in place of her sister in order to save her life.
Katniss has an edge over many of the other tributes because she often lives not knowing if she is going to make it through the night. For years she has been responsible for the life or death of her family. She was devastated by the death of her father, though she recalls many of his fine talents and qualities. Throughout the training and the Games, she fights against feeling friendship for Peeta Mellark because she knows
The book is in the voice of a young 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen who lives in District 12 which is the poorest district in all of Panem, and all of the districts are controlled by the Capitol. The character who is in charge of the Capitol is President Snow and he and the people of Panem have created this entertainment for themselves called the hunger games. The games consists of randomly drawing one male and one female from each district to compete in the games until one alive remains. The winner gets to receive an income from the Capitol, to live in a better environment in their district with their families, and is adored by the Capitol. The day of the reaping, which is the day the names are randomly drawn was mandatory for
During the game Katniss have to pretend that she loves Peeta, but inside she knows that her real love was Gale and that he was waiting for her. It was hard for all of them because Gale was outside seeing how Peeta kiss his girlfriend, and for Peeta because he knows that Katniss was in love with another boy and not of him, and to Katniss because maybe she was with Gale, but passing time with Peeta and look how he tries to saved her life make her get confused about her feelings so she focused in what is good for her, and not of what she real want.
While competing in the Hunger Games, Katniss is unsure if Peeta is on her side or not because he betrays her and joins the Careers; plotting to team up and kill the weak. This make Katniss extremely confused, causing her to be uncertain of whether or not she will be able to kill Peeta since he is her supposed star-crossed lover. She also debates with herself because she cannot decide if she is in love with Gale or Peeta. During the Hunger Games, Katniss becomes friends with Rue through the mocking jay pin. Rue is killed, but Katniss remembers her by using the wisdom that she learned from Rue.
Whether Peeta has a crush on Katniss or not is still in the air. It could be that Peeta said that to possibly get sponsors or get people to view the both of them as desirable. Maybe what he said is true and he has had a crush a Katniss his entire life. Whichever one it is, I believe it has given the Capitol some possible
Thematic Essay Suzanne Collins’s science fiction novel The Hunger Games, takes place in Panem- a futuristic society where there is 12 districts and one capitol. Every year 24 “tributes” are publicly reaped to fight to the death in The Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen is put in the games after volunteering for her sister. During the Games Katniss falls in love with her fellow tribute from district 12, Peeta Mellark.
So you are reading the hunger games and you see the romance happening between Katniss and Peeta and most people think it is real but you really have to wonder too yourself and wonder if they are just doing this for the show or do they really have feelings for each other. Well whether or not you think it is real I say that the love is fake. The reasoning is because how after they kiss they get a pot of broth from their mentor Haymitch. Also they she had never felt feelings for Peeta till it was just her Peeta Thresh cato and Foxface left. Also when they had the interviews before the games after that Peeta said it was all a plan and they were considered the star-crossed lovers. Lastly they had just acted to like each other for the audience.
At the beginning Katniss liked a person back home in district 12, but at the ceremony when Seizure was interviewing Peeta, Peeta said that he had a crush on Katniss so after that Katniss had different feelings for Peeta so during the games they had to act like they were madly in love. When Peeta was sick he made Katniss kiss him so it looked like they were in love, but I don't think she likes him like that because she has a thing with Gale.
The settings of these two books are different, because The Hunger Games mainly takes place in the arena, and “The Lottery” takes place in a public town spot. In “The Lottery”, there's really no romance, but in The Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta are shown to the world as a couple. I think is actually a good tactic when trying to get sponsors and surviving because Peeta does protect Katniss and I believe he really does have feelings for her, as she does for him. Katniss is confused about her feelings for Gale, I think that she probably does care for Gale, but personally I think she cares for Peeta more. Otherwise why would she have risked her life for for him? Like when each district got a pack, and she ended up giving Peeta the sleeping syrup so she could go get the pack so Peeta could survive.
In The Hunger Games, there are many significant plots show Katniss and Peeta try hard to overcome many difficulties. To begin, Katniss has a big conflict with Career Tributes who
Katniss Everdeen was the girl tribute from district 12, and they boy tribute was Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). Katniss sort of knew Peeta before the games, but she wasn’t exactly sure because she could never really pen point where she meet him. Come to find out Peeta basically saved her from starvation because he gave her bread from his bakery, after he burnt it on purpose. Once Peeta and Katniss reached the Capitol and came out to show all the people of the Capitol who they were, they were the ones to watch out for. Katniss was known as the girl on fire, and then Peeta surprised everyone when he told the people of the Capitol that he was in love with Katniss; which then labeled both of them as the star crossed lovers of district 12.
In the beginning, Katniss is living the hard life of her district. She goes to school and hunts so that her family has food. She has a younger sister named Prim and a mother, however it is time for the reaping which is when the Capitol picks names out of a bucket for one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts to participate in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death tournament where the winner gets fame and fortune. Prim gets chosen to participate in the games, but Katniss volunteers to take her place(22). A boy from their district named Peeta also gets chosen and Katniss realizes that he had given her bread when she didn’t have food for her family. They go to the Capitol and meet their mentor, Haymitch(56), who helps them train, then they go into the arena and battle. Peeta joins up with some Careers, children that trained for the Hunger Games all their lives, and tries to win but then he betrays them. The Gamemakers make a rule change and say that two tributes from the same district can win together so Katniss finds Peeta and helps him because he has been injured. After they are the only two people left the Gamemakers change the rule back to force Katniss and Peeta to fight each other, rather than fight, Katniss takes some poisonous berries, called Nightlock, she found in the arena and gives half of
