The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins tells the tale of Katniss, a determined, independent, and complex woman trying to keep her loved ones safe and protected. Katniss’ personality and appearance contradict traditional leading lady norms, and her relationship and eventual romance with Peeta show the defiance of traditional gender roles in romantic relationships. Katniss and Peeta redefine gender roles in The Hunger Games as she stays true to her raw looks and personality, he embraces thoughtfulness, and as they both take on different romantic roles than society normally sees in romantic relationships. Scholars, Lem and Hassel, argue that there are gender roles seen in media, but I would like to go farther to say that kindness is a more

Katniss volunteered as tribute, taking her sisters place in the games. She was scared that her sister wouldn't make it through the games allowed and that she would have a better chance of surviving. Katniss saved her sisters life and put hers in danger. Another example of when Katniss feels fear is when she is directed to a rich building.

Suzanne Collin’s “Hunger Games” seems to be about a dystopian society struggle to become a utopia. However, when the readers read further in to the book or watches the movie one can see that is about all the characters that make use human.

Over the summer, I read the book The Hunger Games. It is a Science fiction book where the main character is telling the story in a first person view. In the book, there is a family which lives in a place called District 12. Every year, Districts 1 through 12 have an event called, the Hunger Games where 24 people ages 12-18 fight to the death on live television. Katniss Everdeen, a 16 year old girl, hunts animals every day in the woods. Which is breaking the law in District 12. But at the reaping, (where they choose contestants for the games) her younger sister, Prim, is chosen. Katniss chooses to take her sister’s place in the games. She has always practiced hunting on animals, but never on people. But her friend Gale tells her, “How different

Firstly, Katniss sacrifices her childhood for her family. After the death of her father because of explosion of mine, Katniss mother falls into desperateness. Although Katniss is just a young girl, she recognizes that she must take care of her family. In the Seam (district 12), Katniss hometown, hunting animals and sell them in The Hob (Black market) is the only method to escape from starvation (a serious issue), but it is illegal. However, without her food from hunting, her family does not have enough food to eat (Sparknote, 2015). Moreover, she has to fill her name into the Hunger Games in

In Suzanne Collins Hunger Game book series the first book “Mockingjay” pulls you into a new life as your reading and that’s why I would pick “Mockingjay” as the one book to be preserved if I was to be apart of Fahrenheit 451.

The Hunger Games is a book trilogy that was turned into a movie series. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay are a part of the original book trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. The books quickly became an extremely popular hit, and they were turned into a mainstream movie series franchise. The movies based off the popular books are The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part 1, and Mockingjay Part 2. “With more than 26 million books sold and box office receipts grossing $68.3 million on the opening day of the film adaptation of the first novel, this post-apocalyptic, dystopian series clearly appeals to a wide audience that is not limited to a specific age, group or gender” (Simmons). The Hunger Games Series is phenomenally written, as it tells the remarkable story of a contrasting world, controlling government, an unlikely love triangle, and the hope and pain that comes along with a potent symbol of freedom.

The Hunger Games, this movie is concentrated on a novel written by Suzanne Collins. Every year children/youth, male and female between the ages twelve to eighteen are selected at random from every twelve districts and forced to participate in the annual death match; The Hunger Games. It is an obligatory penance that each district has to offer for their iniquities, the revolution that was activated and commenced against the Capitol. These tributes are delivered to the supervision of the capitol (Government) where they are transferred to an arena, which is controlled by the capitol and the tributes fight till there is only one survivor. The lone survivor signifies the strength the capitol has over the twelve districts, and the dead tributes signify the districts, how powerless they are. I chose this movie from the rest because I feel it is less complex when it comes to fully analyzing it with the questions available. The social values and the way the economy is being run by the Capitol makes it less of a havoc comprehending the way in which children and youth are being portrayed, and their values in the overpowered society.

In the morning of the reaping day, Katniss wakes up. Finds her mom, pet cat (Buttercup), and her sister, Prim by her side. After getting dressed, she heads to the forest, where she meets her hunting partner Gale. After fishing and searching for berries, they head back home. On their way back home, Katniss and Gale stops at the Hobs, the black market. At the Hobs, they exchange their fishes with bread and salt. Then they go to the mayors house to sell some of the berries. However, Gale and Madge, the mayor daughter, get into an argument that how rich and wealthy people from each district have less chance to be chosen, because they are not in need of food support. The poor and

Imagine you and your family suddenly have to move from Salt Lake City UT all the way to… Antarctica! Of course it isn 't realistic for someone to live in Antarctica, but then again, The Hunger Games isn 't that much different. Picture you are moving to Antarctica, away from people, friends, extended family, warmth, life, entertainment, happiness! You finally arrive to your isolated, barren planes of snow and ice for a home and realize, BAM! Where is religion in your life? Where will you go for church each Sunday? There is no religion or anything to be found; nothing! Let me introduce you to a celebrated novel with a story much like the one I just told. This book is The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. In this story we have a poor society that is quite barren and void of the morals and standards that bring us the happiness and richness we enjoy in life. One major contributor to this “emptiness,” is the non-existence of religion or God in their society. The Hunger Games tells of a corrupt nation called Panem, which consists of thirteen districts. However, district thirteen was mercilessly destroyed by the dictating Capitol, which leaves only twelve populated districts. Each year the Capitol forces two chosen teenagers, a female and male, from each district to compete for their lives in a blood-thirsty and cruel television show called The Hunger Games. The story focuses on a fierce, brave young woman named Katniss Everdeen and how she survives the Hunger Games along with her

'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins is an adventure-filled dystopian novel set in the futuristic universe of Panem that follows the life of young character Katniss Everdeen who is forced to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed at only 16 years old.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a fictional book. I think this book belongs in the categories Science Fiction and dystopian. I would place this book in Science Fiction because it takes place in Panem, North America which is a post-apocalyptic nation. I believe this book is dystopian because it portrays the districts to be in mass poverty, while the Presidents district is filthy rich.
