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 Everdeen is a teenage girl that lives in a district of basically coal mines. Her father died in a mining accident, so she has to provide for her mother and sister. Every year there is a Hunger Game where one boy and one girl from each district (state) are drawn to fight to the death. It is very brutal and only one tribute comes out alive. In this drawing, Katniss's sister gets drawn but Katniss volunteers instead because she knows her sister can’t win. This is proof of her mission, to protect her family. This is supported by “With one sweep of my arm, I push her behind me”(Collins 25). In that situation, Katniss was putting her sister behind her to protect her. Katniss fought in The Hunger Games came out as “[...] the victors of the 74th Hunger Games[...]”(Collins 403) but with a few repercussions.

Katniss’s first and most obvious search is her search for safety. In the Hunger Games, 24 children are pit against each other in a fight to the death, so she is constantly having to find a safe place to hide. Katniss finds her safety in a cave, and also with Peeta Mellark, her fellow tribute from District 12. The cave gives her and Peeta shelter and a place to hide from the other, more ruthless tributes, and in Peeta, she finds a friend to protect and someone who protects her.

Torture still happens in some societies around us. With different levels of torture, it is being passed on from generation to generation. It reflects a lot on the connection between people in the community and how a person’s personality is shaped. Between The Hunger Games, “The Lottery,” and “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” the three authors all want to argue about how society uses torture to rule the community. Even though the government succeeds in forming an organized society, the connection between people no longer exists. Being selfish or careless wasn’t their natural born quality. The tradition of where they were born has formed their characteristics since they were raised along with it. Without understanding thoroughly about the tradition, they tend to keep passing on the tradition, which is why people in the community do not care about others nor bother to help them.

The movie or the book the Hunger Games came out with a bang when it first hit theaters or the shelves of the bookstores. It was dubbed as one of the best films or books to read, interestingly enough it was a remake of the stories or myths most people heard when they were younger, but modernized and turned into a collage of all the best roman and Greek stories. Suzanne Collins brilliantly combined the Greek and Roman influences to make the movie/book unforgettable. By using stories from the romans and Greeks, to the Greek warriors Suzanne Collins demonstrates how she really drew inspiration for the book and movie.

The motion picture The Hunger Games, which premiered in 2012 was a book first published in 2009, written by Suzanne Collins. Usually film adaptations of a book usually are worse then the book itself. The Hunger Games was no exception. If someone did not read the book, they should expect to be very confused during the movie. The movie left a lot of important parts out and did not explain why things were the way they were. Putting the gaps in the storyline aside, the acting portrayed from Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth was well done and overall the movie won 34 awards and was nominated for 43. It even broke records opening weekend at the box office. (IMDB)
