Symbolism In The Hunger Games

When reading The Hunger Games, one might not read and think deeply enough about something like symbolism. Looking into it, however, the characters in this novel by Suzanne Collins seem to be named after historical figures, words that are descriptive of their characters, and even plants. Realizing this really makes reading the novel much more interesting, because now the reader has something or someone to compare each of the main or supporting characters to.

Until page 50 it was a perfect beginning , and I had a good time in reading this pages and a lot of something to learn and something make me feel interest, such as, the deep description of the characters, places, and even food which made me feel the moment and as if I were living with them. Also, the way that the author had depicted how people suffered because of the hanger and poverty. Another thing that I want to notice about is that girl – Katniss – who was the ideal sister and daughter, when she prefers to go to The Hunger Games instead of her sister – Prim- ,and when she takes care of her ill mother. Furthermore, while all the bad things that happened to her and all the responsibilities that placed on her, but it didn't prevented her

Fire is also supposed to symbolize Katniss, “the girl on fire.” This name came initially about when she wore the fire outfit.

Where you can starve to death in safety. Every and each of the District was being control by only one Government, as it follows each District will choose “ a girl and a boy” to represent them on the games.

In the Hunger Games, one young male and one young female are randomly selected from each District, or town, every year to go into war with one another. Only one of the twenty-four make it back out of the game alive. The mayor announces the chosen ones every year at a ceremony known as the reaping, where he explains the history and purpose of the games. There was a war in the past between the Capitol and the Districts. Since the Capitol won, they hold the Hunger Games in honor of their victory. The story mostly focuses on a specific Hunger Games tribute, Katniss Everdeen, who chose to volunteer for her sister who was originally chosen as tribute. Katniss and District 12’s boy tribute, Peeta, are shipped off to train for the games for a few weeks in order to learn more about how the game is played and how the Capitol actually has a huge hand on who wins depending on their likeability. People who live in the Capitol actually send survival gifts in the games, which is the key to winning.

Coming from the poorest district, this battle is an even bigger deal than just making it out alive because they need the benefits. In this gruesome battle, the duo from District twelve undergo injury and face many obstacles, in which they overcome to get to the end. Originally, two people could only win if they came from the same District, but when it gets down to just Katniss and Peeta, they announce there can only be one winner. Katniss and Peeta then decide to die at the same time by both eating poisonous berries, but they are stopped right before, winning the seventy-fourth Hunger Games (Newsmakers, Detroit:Gale). The second book in Collins’ extremely popular series is Catching Fire (2009), which came with the same amount or more excitement and buzz as the first

In “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins, the use of symbolism plays a role in the narrative of the themes, and the connection they have to the characters. The mockingjay, the dandelion, Panem, and Katniss’s dresses are all important symbols in the book. The mockingjay had an important role in the book and it was a significant symbol to Katniss. The dandelion was very significant to Katniss, and Panem symbolized an important thing to all the districts. The dresses also helped the start of Katniss’s defiance against the Capitol by changing her image to the Capitol and to the public, showing them that she’s more than just a pawn in their games.

If chosen they will participate in the hunger games where they are forced to fight until only one tribute remains. The winner returns to his or her district, and is showered with gifts — specifically food. The Games, overseen and put on by Capitol (the tyrant government of Panem), are meant to discipline the 12 districts of Panem and remind them of the Dark Days and how the 13th district was demolished for its rebellion against the oppressive and malicious Capitol. In the reaping, Katiniss offers herself as tribute only to save her younger sister Prim, along with her a boy is chosen named Peeta; they will both go into the Hunger Games representing District 12. The ideas of withholding a sense of stability from a people, controlling social classes by making a spectacle of life through brutality and having power over a powerless people and sending the most vulnerable of the districts community (their children) to fight for their life are all exemplified in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

The study from I.A Richards shows that in people’s daily conversation, there is one with metaphor in every three sentences (Li, 2003, p.7).
