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.

Suzanne Collins uses many literary devices including symbolism as well as themes to express the ignorance and lack of competence of the wealthy in the Capitol. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, best selling novel, The Hunger Games. Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games. Miraculously, both she as well as fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark are still alive. This occurrence created widespread controversy, especially amongst President Snow, Panem’s dictator-esque leader. One would expect Katniss’ homecoming to be one of joyful exuberance for her family, as well as herself. However, her return simply sparks an icy distance between her long time friend Gale, as well as Peeta, who has completely turned his back following their “act” in the games. The idea of a rebellion against the Capitol by the 12 districts has fueled an unrest in which Katniss is concerned she may not be able to stop. “The Girl on Fire” has lived up to her name, and sparked a flame of revolution. As the victors prepare for their victory tour throughout the districts, it is imperative that they dispel any arguments that would suggest that their ‘love’ throughout the games was simply a ploy against the system that was rebellious by nature. What ensues is the product of Suzanne Collin’s ability to create a world based on the theme of humanity

Catching Fire is the second novel of the Hunger Games series and is focused on Katniss’s second experience in the arena. Catching Fire is a page turning novel that especially appeals to me because of the huge perspective change...Not only has Katniss turned cold towards the capitol, but Cinna and Peeta has also showed a display of rebellion against President Snow and the capitol leaders. I would recommend this book to another because it is interesting and extremely hard to put down. It is action filled and almost never ceases from interesting storylines and plot twists.
