Caesar Flickerman's When Katniss

In the novel, The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian young adult book that is based in Panem that is divided into twelve districts. Each year the districts have to send a boy and a girl into an arena to fight to the death. The novel’s protagonist is Katniss, who lives in the poorest district. Katniss makes the audience think of the important ideas of bravery, societal class and love.

Every year a competition is held where one girl and one boy, ages 12-18, from each District is chosen for a game of survival. The last tribute alive, wins riches and lots of food. These games are called The Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen is from the poorest District, 12. She shows survival every single day of her life. Everyday she hunts, illegally, to supply for her family because her father died when she was young. Going into the games was no different. During a conversation with Peeta he says, “You know what my mother said? She said ‘District 12 might finally have a winner,’ but she wasn't talking about me. She was talking about you.” Because everybody knew how good she was at surviving, District 12 got a little bit of faith. He is saying that even his mom believed more in her than in him, because she had experience in survival and he, as a baker’s son, did not. This shows the audience that despite hardships and losses a human has the ability to overcome and do whatever it takes to survive. Katniss shows a strong relationship with her sister. After Prim, her sister, is drawn for the games she volunteers and goes into the games to protect her sister. Throughout the movie any decision that Katniss makes, is made with the thought of Prim. During an interview with Caesar Flickerman, he

The games were biased as they were set to entertain a few individuals in authority while everyone else suffered the death consequences or the loss of a loved one. It also shows how Katniss a lady from a humble background defies the norms and laws of the capitol, specifically the President as she decides not to kill Peeta and become the last survivor. Most people in different Districts did not approve of the The Hunger Games as they were unfair but lacked the courage to voice out their concerns in fear of the consequences (). Katniss displays positive attributes; sacrifice by taking the place of her younger sister in the games and bravery and defiance of the norms by saving Peeta. The theme of inequality in the movie addresses the social classes that define modern society. The dictators enrich themselves and continue growing richer while the poor suffer and continue to drown in

The themes that found in the novel The Hunger Game such as survival, violation, power, inequality, poverty, devotion and so forth are presented to demonstrate a critical time in the history throughout clarifying the cultural significance in an unspecified future time. The novel’s main point is the struggle to adapt to normal daily life and how individuals are finding it difficult to adjust within their environments at this time.The adventure novel follows sixteen years old Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Malirak who lived in the twelve poor districts that ruled by the rich Capitol, which located in the Rocky Mounted. Noticeably, the perspective of Collins anticipated that readers have to draw attention to the domination and bias as significant issues

Katniss knows that the maker of the games, will not just throw her into the middle of the area with no training or guidance. That is why she and fellow contestant, Peeta, are given a mentor named Haymitch. First appearing drunkenly incompetent, and seemingly useless, he says “You don’t interfere with my drinking, and I’ll stay sober enough to help you.” (Collins.???) Haymitch is a winner of the hunger games and knows what takes to survive is. Haymitch knows that it winning the hunger games is not all about brute force or sizable strength. It is also about getting citizens to like the tributes, so they will sponsor them and send items in times of dire need. Katniss is very stubborn, and does not consider herself to be a real people pleaser. Neither does Haymitch, as he tell her “You’ve got about as much charm as dead slug.” (Collins..) Katniss does not really believe that charm is very important and has the mindset that if she can just stay alive on her own, she has a chance of surviving. Luckily, Katniss meets Cinna, the man who styles her for all of her interviews and events. They have an immediate connection and Cinna knows how important that people recognize Katniss, because being recognized could save her life.

The tributes themselves are images of a war battle of seventy-five years ago, and their deaths serve as a power's indication of the Capitol wields. However, the Capitol misjudged Katniss's own will to live, as well as her insubordination. Katniss is more than an image she is a human being. She has grown up under the Capitol's rules, and now they are forced to compete with

Usually when one thinks of a pageant, they think of a beauty pageant where young ladies dress up in their finest formal attire and compete to win a crown. While some of this still happens (in a twisted sense of the way), it does not happen that they win fame and money with nothing more than smiling more than another contestant. Another ironic statement illustrated is the description of the people. In one of the first few scenes the audience sees that the people of District 12 are very similar to the description of the villagers in “The Lottery”. The way the audience sees the people of District 12 themselves is not irony, but when they are contrasted against the Capital people it becomes more evident. Effie Trinket, the middleman type of person between the Capital and the districts, makes it very clear that Katniss and Peeta are new to having certain luxuries. When showing them around on the Capital bound train she points out all of the fancy items on each car. She states “That even though you’re here and even through it’s just for a little while. You get to enjoy all of this” (The Hunger Games). Another example of this ironic situation is when the beauty team comes to preps the tributes. They are their to make them look decent and presentable, but in the end they are all going to be thrust into an arena to fight for their death; it is not going to matter how they look. They are going to be covered in blood, dirt, sweat, and grime. Back

If I were to choose one last place to eat, I would go to Mexico Viejo. Whenever there is a birthday in my family, we go out to eat at the birthday person’s place of choosing. I would always choose Mexico Viejo. Recently, I started working at Mexico Viejo and I really enjoy it. When I’m there, I feel as though I have a second home with the welcoming vibes.

The Hunger Games Essay When people go on TV their lives become more than just a show their lives become about pleasing other people and living the lives others want them to live rather than living their own life. This is shown when Katniss and Peeta the two protagonists in Suzanne Collins the Hunger Games are chosen to be in the Hunger Games.

Katniss Everdeen, the main character is seen in an incessant state of anguish, worrying about her beloved younger sister Prim, without the slightest concern for her own welfare, an idiosyncrasy that robustly contradicts with the typical perfect and flawless main character portrayed in almost all action/adventure films. The controversial scene then ends with the fearless Katniss Everdeen taking her sister’s place and volunteering for her in the Hunger Games after she had been conscripted. There are even ceaseless ties made between District 12 and World War II concentration camps ranging from the rag like clothing to the groups of hopeless children with guns aimed at their face, further deliberating Katniss’s initial mother like and selfish instincts when preferring to worry about her sister in an environment that can be related to a significant historical atrocity. As a set-up for the rest of the film, this sequence plays an important role in constructing the underlying theme of the film as a whole. The fact that Katniss finds her own empathy, sense of caring and compassion and her journey of going from a un-trusting and instinctive girl to a strong moraled, selfless woman that would rather die than take an innocent human life. An

The title of this book, “Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves” is written in order of the ranking of women. In classical antiquity, in some aspects, a whore had more freedom and rights than a married upper-class woman. This alone is evidence of the degree that women in classical antiquity were oppressed. Classical Greek Athenian women and Roman women had similarities in their life styles and expectations to become wives and mothers, but Roman women developed minor freedoms throughout the duration of the empire that Greek Athenian women did not possess. The only known exception to this are the women of Sparta, who had a unique level of freedom in the Greek world.

Hunger games is based on sociological concepts based on the ideologies of Marx. It shows the relationship between the Districts, which are the equivalent of the proletariat, and the Capitol who would be the equivalent of the bourgeoisie.

The first sign of the difference between the two classes is shown when Katniss reveals the first day of the film is the “reaping” day which is the annual ritual of when each of the twelve districts send two tributes who then compete in the hunger games
