Hungergames Essay

The boy tribute that is from her district is Peeta Mellark who she knew from long ago. Peeta confessed to the public that he loves her and that begins their friendship. Throughout the games, she watches as tributes are killed and a young girl named Rue is murdered. When this happens, Katniss kills Rue’s attacker. This is the first time that she has ever killed a person, so she takes it very hard. Rue was not only Katniss’s ally but her friend, she was Prim’s age and reminded her of her sister. So, when Rue was killed it struck Katniss deeply. By the end of the games she has come to love Peeta back and it comes down to the two of them. They refuse to kill each other, so they decided to eat berries that are poisonous but the capitol has to have a victor, so the capitol announces that they are both victors. When she did this, it was a direct punch to the capitol and it ignited a spark in the people, that began the process of a revolution. After she returns home, she realizes what her actions caused and that is the real reason that she went there. She was destined to be the Mockingjay, or the leader of the revolution against the capitol. She realizes that she is the only way that the people will unite and fight to

Bestselling author, Suzanne Collins, on her novel, Mockingjay, delves yet again into the world of Panem; now plunged into chaos thanks to one, Katniss Everdeen. Collin’s theme is displaying upon readers that sacrifices have to be made for the “betterment” of society, but be weary of who you sacrifice for. She adopts a troubled tone to drive the point that amidst all the chaos and anarchy, not even those you root for know all the answers.

She volunteered as a tribute to the Hunger Games, a national “game” in which contestants from all twelve districts fight to the death, in place of Prim, who had been selected at random for the games. Katniss volunteered knowing that death was nearly inevitable, and she did not hesitate to put her life on the line if it meant Prim’s safety. Along with the similarity of sacrifice, she had disciples in both Gale and Peeta, like Jesus had disciples of the twelve. She brought hope and gave up all she had for the love of others, exactly as Jesus had laid himself down for all those he loved

The day of reaping was a day all districts feared. It is a reminder to all twelve districts that the capitol hold the power over us, that they own us, that they control us. When I heard my name called I didn’t know what to think. The fact that my life was practically over and that out of every boy in the district I was chosen to compete in the games made me so mad. The odds were not in my favour. But I knew I had to be brave, for my family and for my district. Standing next to Katniss on stage at the day of the reaping was the worst feeling in the world. Knowing we had chance at survival. But thanks to our generous sponsers and our mentor Haymitch, Katniss and I remain standing here

Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, imagines a world where people are divided by district just like the real world does with the high, middle, low classes. This book is full of themes, literary devices and also talks about how the government — in this case the Capitol — oppresses their citizens.

The novel The Hunger Games is written by author Suzannne Collins. Collins created a dystopian novel that has similarities to the current society we live in and could be interpreted to be what the future holds. Throughout the book characteristics of a dystopia society are revealed. From districts starving, living in poverty, being killed for trying to escape to somewhere better and being forced to do things they do not want to do. The beginning of the book on page three, starts with the main character Katniss Everdeen assuming her sister left their bed for their mothers’ because of nightmares caused by the reaping. The reaping is when each district chooses a boy and girl to take place in the Hunger Games. The Hunger games is a sadistic way the capital reminds their citizens they are in control.

“ I volunteer, I volunteer as tribute.” Says Katniss Everdeen, the main character in my book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins . Has someone that you love ever been in danger?

Katniss Everdeen is Prim’s sister and also the main character in the book “The Hunger Games.”, by Suszanne Collins.

It’s not even dark yet but I’m exhausted. As I lay in silence, a series of cannon fire rings through the arena. I count as they are shot one at time, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. Sixteen tributes are dead in the first day, I can’t believe I survived longer then sixteen people. I can’t help but be anxious for Grace, I’ve known here since we were infants, and in a town like mine everyone knows everyone. I always kinda had a crush on her but we were friends, or at least I think, we didn’t talk much. The sound of the anthem wakes me from my sleep, it scares me, I didn’t even know I feel asleep. Once it’s over the faces of all the dead tributes are projected into the sky. There’s the little boy from district 8, he was only 12 and always looked scared even in training. There’s the girl tribute from district 2, she was deadly with a spear and was super strong for a girl, and I wonder how she died? As all the tributes light up in the sky I get more and more nervous. Will I see Grace up there? Am I going to be the only one from district 12 left? Am I going to be alone in here?

You have to put your name into a bowl to enter (which you are required to enter at least 1 time each year from the ages of 12 to 18).

And in the hunger games she helps the other member of district 12 because he gave her bread once and was slapped hard for

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
