The Author, Marele Day portrays Claudia as a hero through the language devices and challenges stereotypical gender types when he presents the reader with judgements about aspects of Claudia such as her behaviour. “QUOTE”. “WORDS THAT SHOWS THE AUTHOR HAS”. Her negative role model figure comes across as she is interpreted as a sleazy drunk, something I never want you to be anything like. Marele Day is trying to position you to view her character as a hero. When she focuses on her language choices she has a strong use of evaluative language, you can see this in the book when she describes Claudia Valentine as being ‘dishonest’. Marele Days challenge in gender roles are driven by depiction of her newly invented personal investigator, Claudia Valentine who is put in place to challenge traditional gender stereotypes in a negative …show more content…

In a flash forward episode to the near future, twelve boys and twelve girls are selected to appear on in a live TV show called ‘the hunger Games’. Katnis is an inspirational leader who puts herself before and someone who thinks consequences before actions. Suzanne Collins go to an extraordinary extent to portray Katnis as a hero. Collins portrays her as a hero and above all puts people before her throughout the novel and this is evidently correct when it is her and Peter as the last two survivors, and to win one must kill the other but they are both from the district, in the novel Collins writes in chapter 25, “they have to have a victor, without a victor the whole thing would blow up in the game maker’s faces. If peter and I were both to die”. Katnis twists the game and figures out how to beat the game she and peter decide to commit suicide, or at least pretend to so that they either both die humble or both live and get one up on the game makers. This action is so powerful because she rebels against pretty much the owners of her entire district and resents the use of violence and refuses to play the murder game. She above all puts her family first, straight up in the book it took 4 words to have her becoming an extraordinaire hero. ‘I volunteer as tribute’. When her younger sister is randomly selected to partake in the annual games she instantly

    When her and her ally and love interest Peeta reach the center of the Arena in which they are fighting for their lives, they not only run into their biggest rival – another boy named Cato who had been set up throughout as a villain – but also the murderous creations of the those who put them there. It is a gruesome fight that results in Cato’s horrifying death, and the survival of Peeta and Katniss, but only one of them can live. This ultimatum drives Katniss to take a calculated risk: if both of them die, the Capitol has no winner, and the games must always provide a glimmer of hope for effective control, thus if they threaten suicide, they can both get out alive.

    The movie The Hunger Games, originally based on a book by Suzanne Collins, is about a place called Panem, which is ruled by the Capitol and has 12 districts within it. These 12 districts are separated founded on their economic statuses, meaning the higher the district, the more impoverished the residents are. There are 2 tributes that are chosen to participate, forcibly, in The Hunger Games each year. Each competitor is instructed to eliminate one another in order to survive and come out on top. There is only one tribute allowed to come out of the arena alive. Katniss lives in District 12, which is the most impoverished district of them all, and she volunteers as tribute in “the Reaping” when her sister is chosen to participate. She and the other tribute from her district, Peeta, make it into the arena with the hopes that one of them comes out the winner and above all else, alive (Ross, 2012). I will refrain from going any further just in case you have not read the book or have not seen the movie. In terms of soci...

Peeta and Katniss are so emotionally unstable from everything they have experienced with the Games that they both choose to die with each other.

  • Similarities Between The Hunger Games And The Lottery

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “The Lottery,” Mrs. Hutchinson says, “`It isn’t fair,’ she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head” (Jackson 7). Mrs. Hutchinson does not even try to get away, she only stands there and lets the townspeople kill her. She does not try to stand up to her society at all and she shows how she does not even try to change her fate. She only stands still and does not try to get away. Though these stories both have a female protagonist, The Hunger Games has a protagonist who stands up to her society in time to save herself. In The Hunger Games, the main character, Katniss, is one of the two participants still alive at the end of The Hunger Games. She and her fellow district mate, Peeta Mellark, are both still alive. The government says only one of them may win. Katniss convinces Peeta to eat deadly berries. They are just about to eat the berries when they are both declared the winners. Katnisss is reacting to the rule change. She is showing how she is not going to stand by and let the government control her. Katniss shows people should stand up for what they believe in and to not give into their society and to not be controlled. Both of the stories have a female protagonist differing how and when they stand up for themselves.

    The Hunger Games was a good movie when it came out. This movie refers to a dystopia world in which there are 12 districts and a capitol who rules with an iron fist, in which the districts must provide a tribute to fight in an annual Hunger Game as a punishment for a past rebellion. Katniss Everdeen is a hunter from the 12th district, which Gale, her friend gives her tips on hunting. One day her sister, Primrose Everdeen, is chosen for the Hunger Games, and in order to save her, she volunteers instead to serve in the Games along with Peeta Mellark. During a TV interview, Peeta confesses her love for Katniss Everdeen, which causes the enragement of the latter; however, she later forgives him as he explains to her that it was only to gain sponsors. During the Hunger Games, she did not receive a lot of supplies except some medicine to cure a wound, but Districts 1 and 2 almost won the Game due to their training, and amount of supplies which Katniss destroys but cannot recover any of them. The Hunger Games was one of the best movies I ever watched because it has a little bit of everything and it captures the real-life survival game that we live on a daily basis.

  • Anne Frank Quotes

    Could you imagine having to go into hiding and fighting for your life only at the age of 13? Well, Anne Frank had no choice but to do just that. Even during all the tragedy that happened in her life, she said, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." The quote that was found in her diary dated July 1944, which were several months before she perished in a concentration camp. To me, this shows that Anne Frank was a brave, powerful, along with a courageous young woman. Even kids now of days could never do the things she did because our biggest concern is over the littlest things, like where is my phone or something like that.

  • The Hunger Games Dystopian Analysis

    924 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since she is the female victor from district 12, she is in the 74th Hunger Games. She sees how painful and scary it is and so she tries to stop the capital which is who is controlling everything. She doesn’t want that to happen to anyone else. She rebels against President Snow in plan of eventually killing him to take over the capital and change the world. Teens can relate to this because a lot of the time we feel controlled. It might be by a parent, teacher, grandparent or someone else but all of us are controlled by someone. A lot of teenagers end up rebelling because they feel as if they have no choices. They go against the rules of who they are rebelling against. That persons rules and values are not necessarily right. Who decides what is right? It seems as if we have entered into a state time where there is no right and wrong. Katniss breaks free of that control and does her own thing. Another way teens can relate to the hunger games is through the love triangle. Some of us might have a similar situation of where we might like two people. In the movie it says, “What I need is not Gales fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can

  • The Role Of Morality In The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

    361 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins there’s a very obvious sense of what's right, and what's wrong. The fact that Katniss’ district along with others are basically starving at the hands of the Capital is obviously wrong, in addition to them playing an annual game of their version of Survivor. Katniss deals with a lot of different obstacles and just to name a major one, killing other competitors in order to ensure her along with Peeta's survival is just one of the many things she has to constantly think and worry about. I believe that Katniss’ sense of morality affects the way she plays the game. Morality is different for everyone, but for Katniss hers is solely based on one thing, survival.
