The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, is an adventure fiction novel filled with adventures and trials that will lead you to into the near distant future. In a place that was once known as United States of America, is now known as Panem, which is divided up in to twelve cruel districts. Forced by the nation’s capitol, one boy and one girl shall be chosen randomly to participate in the annual Hunger Games. Hunger Games, also known as the deathly journey when put in to an unknown place and requires you to fight until you are the last one standing. This may be seen as an enjoyable entertainment to those residing in the nations capitol; but to Katniss Everdeen, a courageous teenager, it is a death sentence that cannot be avoided.

I chose to the modern mythology known as The Hunger Games a novel written by Suzanne Collins and later adapted into a feature film. The novel was actually part of a trilogy The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. The story begins by introducing you to our main character Katniss Everdeen who lives in a world run by the Capitol where President Snow resides and has enforced a form of martial law on all 13 districts. Every year the Capitol hosts their annual Hunger Games which is a form of entertainment for the Capitol. Out of every district two tributes, one boy and one girl will be picked to participate in the Hunger Games which is a battle to the death. Whichever tribute manages to survive till the end will be rewarded by getting to stay in the capitol and their district will be given more food and supplies. The reason Katniss becomes a part of the games is because her little sister prim is chosen during the reaping to be the tribute so Katniss hearing her sisters name volunteers as tribute to save her sisters life but she tries to win the games for her district and to provide for them. The only problem is she finds it hard to murder the other tributes because they are all so young and she doesn’t see why she must kill them for the Capitols entertainment.

“We had to save you because you're the Mockingjay, Katniss, says Plutarch. While you live, the revolution lives” (Collins). Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games is a complex character who epitomizes the archetype of a hero, however, she also shatters the mold by rebelling against the capital and endangering her whole family. She starts out as a hero to her family, especially her sister, and then becomes the symbol of strength to everyone. Katniss sacrifices herself by volunteering to join the Hunger Games in place of her sister, it is a game of survival where a boy and a girl from each district are forced to fight the other members of other districts to the death. By going out of her ordinary world and preparing to join a game where her life could be taken, she fits right into the archetype of a hero. Her bow and arrow, the weapon that only she can wield, will be the only things to help her survive. Despite these heroic qualities, Katniss makes an erroneous decision and blunder mistakes that shows the reader the flip side of Katniss.

Succeeding Katniss’s rescued from the previous hunger games, it is revealed that she is living in district 13 (which was believed to be non-existent) with the rest of district 12, who were bombed. President coin pressures her into becoming the face of the revolution, the Mockingjay, which she accepts after she sees Peeta, who is captured by the capitol, acting as a traitor. While seeing another broadcast of Peeta, he warns Katniss that district 13 is about to be bombed, and that they will be dead by morning. After it is deemed safe to leave the underground bomb shelter, Gale and other rebels make a plan to rescue Peeta as well as Annie, who are hostages by president

I am reading the novel Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, which is the third book in the Hunger Games series. I am on page 261 in the novel and have read 601 pages this quarter. At this point in the novel many events have taken place. Peeta has come to District 13 and suffers from being hijacked while he was in the capitol, which causes him to loathe Katniss’s existence. In this journal I will be rewriting chapter twelve from Peeta Mallark’s point of view.

The Hunger Games Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins has very deep characterization. Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist, was the winner of the previous Hunger Games. She is picked for the Quarter Quell, which picks winners of past Hunger Games to fight each other again in a new arena. Her and Peeta are chosen again. Katniss is a character who cares about others but will do whatever it takes to make sure the ones she cares about are safe. This is shown on page 189 when she says "But I have a mission. No, it's more than a mission. It's my dying wish. Keep Peeta alive." In this quote, Katniss shows how much she cares about Peeta by putting the safety of his front of her own. Peeta is tough selfless person who cares about Katniss and her well being.

The scenes that show Katniss finally understanding the victors rage and the one where she learns about the riots in the districts from her prep team reinforce the theme Collins is trying to convey to the readers. The theme that ruling in fear leads to a surge of insurgents is quite important for the readers to understand because it can help them make better decisions in the future by not leading with fear. To conclude, after reading this, readers should finally know what the Hunger Games Catching Fire is actually

In Suzanne Collin’s trilogy The Hunger Games, the story focuses on the journey and struggles of sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen within the dystopian society of Panem. Throughout the books, Katniss is torn between choosing to fight the injustice and tyranny that has long been a problem for the people of Panem, or to give in to the power of the Capitol in order to keep herself and more importantly her family safe. In the end she rises up and without really intending to, becomes the hero that has long been needed in order to create change in her society. Katniss is like a modern day Robin Hood, because she stands up for and ultimately leads the common people in a revolution against the oppressive Capitol, despite it putting her and her loved ones at risk for the greater good.

As the Seventy-fifth Hunger Games comes to the end, Katniss Everdeen must face the consequences of the start of a rebellion- with her right in the middle. Back in her home in District 12, chaos rises, and District 12 is soon destroyed. Many people don’t make it, but those who do move to District 13, which has been hiding underground for the past couple of years. With the remaining survivors (including Gale, Prim, Haymitch, and Peeta), Katniss has been reported to have become the new mockingjay of the rebellion. She is continuing to go to each district to turn them against the Capitol, until a slight conflict gets in the way.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay” is an exciting conclusion to the Hunger Games series about a war between the evil Capitol and the Districts who were once under their rule. Katniss Everdeen is given the title of “Mockingjay” in which her job is to give the Districts hope of a victory over the Capitol. The job seems simple enough, all she has to do is shoot commercials to help the war rebel war effort, but it becomes much more dangerous than that later. The theme of Mockingjay is to always stay hopeful, even in tough situations. This theme was developed through the characters, setting, and plot.

The Mockingjay is the symbol of resistance in the novel, and whenever the Mockingjay is mentioned it is in a connection to Katniss, so what is the resemblance between them? The Capitol has created Jabberjays; genetically modified male birds, and the creatures that are created by the Capitol are called Muttations, but people call the Mutts. Jabberjays could record what people have said in order to spy on the people of districts during the first rebellion, but people have manipulated the Capitol’s creature for their own good, by feeding them lies instead of truths this is yet another proof of how knowledge is the charcoal for fueling the flames of resistance, so the Capitol has shut down the project leaving these birds to die in the wild. But

The main plot is that on the victory tour Katniss and Peeta have to give hope to the people in the districts. The people are thinking about a rebellion because of Katniss and Peeta’s victory in the last hunger games that they were going to eat poison berries together so there is no champion. After Katniss gets home she gets pulled right back into the action because of random shootings and burnings from the Capitol to the districts because they heard about the rebellion.

Through the course of her Mockingjay duties, Katniss sees first hand what the Capital has done and is willing to do. Prim is now a medic helping the wounded, and Gale is a soldier in the rebellion. Katniss lays her conditions to President Coin in order for her to assume the role of the Mockingjay.
