The 1st theme I have chosen is violence- violence is an act of physically abusing someone else. Violence is important because during being a tribute in the Hunger Games if you weren’t violent towards other tributes you were at risk of dying. From beginning to end the Hunger Games shows violence everywhere but one particular example would be when Katniss goes back to where they began to get a bag with healing cream in it for Peter but ends up having a run in with Clove. Clove tries to stab Katniss. While Clove is trying to stab Katniss she is ripped off of Katniss by Thresh because she was one of the tributes that killed Rue, he beats her head against the ship that had all the weapons etc. until she falls limp on the ground.
The 2nd theme I have chosen is resilience- resilience is when someone is able to bounce back after having something terrible happen to them or someone close to them. Resilience is important because without it all the tributes would be too scared to fight again after killing another tribute or when the other tribute from your district is killed (because it is hard to see someone you knew die). When in the hunger games it is a quality you desperately need to have. Katniss shows

Courage is important because without courage the tributes wouldn’t be able to get through the games, they wouldn’t have the courage to kill others. Courage is one of the most important qualities when being a tribute in the hunger games because you need courage to do things that scare you like kill another or survive if you haven’t got the courage and will power to survive you’re going to die as soon as the countdown finishes. Katniss shows courage when she volunteers to take her sister’s spot in the hunger games. Katniss also shows courage when she goes and retrieves the bag with healing cream for Peeta. She puts her own life at risk to save another more than once throughout the
One example of the theme occurs when the author first introduces the story. “But the summer I was 9 years old, the town I had always loved morphed into a beautifully heartbreaking and complicated place.” (pg. 1). The author is saying that the year she turned nine, she found out something about her town that broke her heart and changed the way she saw it. This quote is important because it supports the theme. It shows that now she is older she has learned something about her town that made her wiser than when she was younger. She is now more informed because the new information changed her and caused her to begin to mature.
Katniss shows an amazing lead character. She showed independence and strength. “I volunteer” I gasped, “I volunteer as tribute.” (Ross) She showed strength by taking her sister's place in the games. Which means the possibility of death. Influencing her watchers that is it okay to be a woman and taking in responsibilities. The Hunger Games and Anthem bring us two different people but almost the same why by showing us weaknesses and strengths.
Imagine killing people in an arena for money, food, and glory. This is what Katniss Everdeen has to do in the book The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins. Courage is basically showing your strength when you are faced with tough decisions or fear. Katniss shows how courageous she is while battling in the arena and out of the arena with her family and friends. Katniss has to go into an arena with twenty-four other members, two from each district. There are a total of twelve districts and she is in the twelfth district. The point of the games is to show the the capital is the boss of them and whatever they say goes. They battle in an arena till there is one victor remaining. Katniss shows many acts of courage.

The hero’s journey is a useful tool in analyzing narratives of all kinds, from myths to movies to everyday life. One of the most iconic stages in the Hero’s Journey is the ordeal, otherwise known as the belly of the whale or the cave, in which the protagonist has reached their darkest and most hopeless point – things cannot get worse. Once the hero gets through the main ordeal, their journey home is much more sedated. This can be paralleled to the encompassing plot structure, in which there is a climax, and then the intensity of the story winds down again. This stage is one of the most universal in the hero’s journey, because without conflict and climax, there is no drive or reward within the story. Popular movies such as The Hunger Games,
Do you enjoy reading about how to survive? Do you like to see children kill each other? The book, called “Hunger Games” has all the elements of survival. It is the perfect amount of survival and murder. Survival is key in the Hunger Games. You mainly need water, food, and shelter.

The example of courage in Mockingjay is nothing short of what we all would ideally like to look up to. The display of courage is seen throughout the movie. Through acting or not acting during a situation. It obviously takes an extraordinary amount of courage to willingly put your life on the line for someone. Though there is courage displayed throughout the whole movie – it is really the highs and lows of compassion showed in certain situations to the inhumane acts. The characters can go from risking their life to save someone to killing someone that is trying to hinder them from reaching their ultimate goal – winning the Hunger
Entertainment can come and be enjoyed in many different forms. Television shows and movies are some of the different forms of entertainment can be in. The lives of famous actors from shows or movies are constantly scrutinized on and off screen. Within the world of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins a version of reality entertainment is the televised murder of innocent children. Those who are chosen to be within the Hunger Games become a scrutinized celebrity. Katniss and other tributes that are forced to fight and kill show how human identity can become lost as they become objectified for the people of Panem. The Hunger Games helps represent the harm that reality television can have by using the glorification of death with the objectification
The first theme in the movie that is similar to that of mythology is sacrifice. “The Hunger Games” begins with the reaping, a ceremony where one male and one female child from each District are chosen to participate in the Hunger Games to fight to the death. The children are chosen as a sacrifice to pay for the past wrong doings of their ancestors. The ritual begins and a video plays to the audience stating “This is a reminder of the rebellion, a price the districts have to pay. Freedom has a cost; we swore as a nation that we would never know this treason again. So it was said that one female and one male child from each district will be chosen each year to fight to the death as tribute. This is how we remember our past, this is how we secure our future.” The requirement of a sacrifice to ensure survival and food will be available for the future is similar to the sacrifices of many ancient cultures; specifically that of Egyptian myth. Osiris was killed and his body torn to shreds by his brother, Set. Everywhere that Osiris’ body was spread; abundant crops grew as a supply from the Gods. This also relates to the myth of Persephone, who was kidnapped by Pluto and brought to the underworld. Each year when Persephone returned to earth the world would flower with abundant growth, when Persephone went back to the underworld, all plant life ceased to exist until she returned again. This shows ...
In the novel The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins a new country is created. Panem is born in place of North America, were the Hunger Games began. In the Hunger Games, there are 24 tributes. Tributes are people who live in the districts. The tributes in the Hunger Games are all the same. They kill one another and become the Capitols puppets. The tributes become violent, emotionless puppets. Then there is Katniss. Katniss is an excellent hunter and becomes lethal during the games. However, she has not lost her compassion. Katniss does not think of herself as a good person. When in reality she is a good person with a large heart, who puts others before herself.
This trait being perseverance which appears in the novel more times than once. At one point in the narrative, Katniss is dehydrated and on the verge of death, but she realises that the solution to her particular problem would be to find water no matter how difficult it may be to fulfill that task. The text states, “I grit my teeth and pull myself to my feet...The sun’s beating down, even more searing than the first two days. I feel like an old piece of leather, drying and cracking in the heat. Every step is an effort, but I refuse to stop.”(pg. 169). The quote given shows the exact amount of immense agony that Katniss is experiencing and how ardous of a task it is to move forward. Yet, Katniss does not give up once and decides to continue as getting to the thing she needs most requires her own tenacity and motivation. During the duration of the novel, the Capitol manipulates the games to set up a fire attack against the remaining tributes which forces Katniss to maneuver and think quickly to persevere through the brutal attack. The text states, on page 175, “Every sense I have goes into overdrive as the need for to survive takes over. There’s no time to judge if a move is the correct one.
A theme is a fundamental and often universal idea explored in a literary work. In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, there are three main themes: the side-by-side existence of good and evil, the importance of moral education, and the presence of social inequality. These themes help the story be what it is and help to create a proper setting, plot, conflict, and characters. The themes in the book have good meaning and make the book what it is.
There are many themes that occur and can be interpreted differently throughout the novel. The three main themes that stand out most are healing, communication, and relationships.
In The Hunger Games the capitol’s deadly animals shows how they are inhuman, evil and is will willingly do anything to remain in control over their people. This help develop the story by showing what Katniss was going against in this story. The Mockingjay also symbolize rebellion and unity, the mockingjay was the creature both Rue and Katniss used in The Hunger Games which shows how they are uniting by trusting each other. The mockingjay help the story develop by showing how each district is uniting to go against the capitol. In Divergent the faction clothing shows how each faction is isolated from each other and is different both in looks and personality. This help explain how the quote “Faction before blood” works in this story line and shows how hard it will be to unite a pair of
