Book report: The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins

The first book of the trilogy called “The Hunger Games” was published on September 14th, 2008, followed by “Catching Fire” on September 1st, 2009 and “Mockingjay” on August 24th, 2010. The trilogy’s genres are adventure, science fiction, drama, and action. The type of this book is for young adults and people who like science fiction books.

The most important aspects in the hole story are that Katniss volunteers herself instead of her sister, and in there is when the story began. How she represents by herself the rebellion of The Districts. The story of Katniss is reading in the first person; Suzanne represent herself in the story. She wanted that people who read this story felt that they were Katniss. Also Suzanne makes roses to be the principal symbol of evil and repression of President Snow; he left whites roses when he kills. The ending of the story was kind of satisfactory, because she really fights against the oppression of The Capitol and President Snow, but in the other hand I would like that the ending was different. The main idea of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy is to never give up even when we face a lot of problems in our life; we always have to fight against those problems. I recommend this book to be read, because is interesting and if you like science fiction and action stories, you are going to be catch by Katniss’

    “Going through thick and thin to attain own objective.” The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, a young girl named Katniss Everdeen faces her fate that was decided by herself. When her younger sister, Prime, was chosen a tribute to the hunger game, she stepped forward to become a volunteer instead of her sister. Katniss has a strong sense of responsibility because she supports her mother and sister instead of her father. She has a decency, so sometimes her temper tends to higher. However, that action was accepted to the Gamemakers and got a higher score. She also has a good hunt skill. On the other hand, her body type was smaller than others. When she and other tributes were assembled at the first time, she was restless: “My heart sinks. Almost all of the boys and at least half of the girls are bigger than I am, even though many of the tributes have never been fed properly. You can see it in their bones, their skin, the hollow look in their eyes. I may smaller naturally, but overall my family’s resourcefulness has given me an edge in that area.” (Collins 94) Even if she had a handicap, she didn’t escape and give up from its fate because she knew her strength. When I was a high school student, I belonged to Kendo club. Like Katniss, I was also inferior to others, especially the…

    I think I probably wouldn't be able to survive in the wilderness, much less if people are trying hard to make sure I don't survive until the next day. I am used to getting my food in the supermarket, already processed, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to hunt, kill or even build a fire. But Katniss Everdeen could.…

Her looks are typical for someone from the Seam (the slums of District 12): long dark hair (which she wears in a single braid down her back), olive skin, and grey eyes.

    Society’s history is written by the actions of others. Those actions may not always be positive, and even worse, sometimes those actions did not happen the way it is remembered. Truth is a point of perspective. When it comes to government and those in power, truth can commonly be portrayed to favor a certain perspective. Suzanne Collins wrote the powerful best-seller, The Hunger Games, which has a great portrayal of how one group can be intentionally oblivious to the harm it is causing another group in the dystopian society of Panem. The Hunger Games can even bridge governmental relationships along with personal relationships when readers see protagonist Katniss staging a relationship with Peeta to appease the sponsors of the games.
