    At the Reaping Ceremony, Prim is chosen as the girl tribute for District 12. Katniss, devastated and shocked, immediately volunteers for her twelve year old sister. This is seen as an almost unheard of occurrence as the last winner was almost 24 years ago. As the rest of the District stares in shocked silence, Katniss becomes the female tribute for her district. As an act of respect to a loved one, the entire district places the three fingers of their left hands to their lips and presses outward in a silent salute. Proceeding this, the next tribute, Peeta Mellark, is chosen. Katniss's mind reels as she remembers the one real interaction she had with him some time previous. She is distraught that he saved her life by tossing her the bread that day.…

    Through the use of language techniques and character manipulation she portrays this contriving conviction to the reader. Katniss uses an imperative "Okay, I figured out what I'm asking," I say. "If it is Peeta and me in the Games, this time we try to keep him alive." To convey her wishes to save Peeta and the addition of the italics of the word “him” enhances the depth of her feelings. “And one of us is going to be victor again whether you two like it or not!” through the use of his indifferent tone Peeta conveys his courage to Katniss which also acts to empower her. He shows his courage, as he knows that he may not survive, as it is his plan to do anything possible to save Katniss just as she plans to do for him. This is where the major conflicting perspective lies between the two as they are both attempting to save the others life because of their resonating love. This is similar to the conflict between Brutus and Cassius where Brutus kills Caesar for the good of Rome “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more” the use of juxtaposition accentuates the love that Brutus has for Rome just like the love Peeta and Katniss have for each other and how powerful a motivator this can be in any situation. Cassius on the other hand is motivated by his greed and jealousy “this man is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature, and must bend his body if Caesar carelessly but nod on him” The use of hyperbole and metaphor emphasizes this and resonates the conflicting motives between Cassius and Brutus. The Quarter Quell of the Hunger games sets the perfect background for Collins to shape the characters in a way that reflects her perceived viewpoint of conflicting perspectives which is also presented to the audience by Shakespeare in the events…

    This is the story of the 74th Hunger Games and at the center of it is Katniss Everdeen, a resident of the poorest of all the districts, District 12. During "The Reaping", the "Tribute" selection comes to pass and is where Katniss ultimately volunteers to fight after her sister 's name is drawn from the fish bowl. Her male counterpart is the baker 's son, Peeta Melark. Per the rules, only one or neither of these two combatants will ever return to District 12 alive. "The Hunger Games" are treated as just that, games, they are televised in the Capitol and all 12 Districts as people look on, the members of the Capitol cheering along the way and members of each District looking on in sadness as their children are murdered for the satisfaction of the oppressive government. After the tributes are selected they are taken by train to the Capitol. On the train and in the capitol you can see the apparent culture shock in the face of the 2 district 12 contestants. Coming from the poorest district modeled after the coal mining era, where most people live in absolute poverty Peeta and Katniss are taken back by the surplus of luxury and wealth exhibited by the Capitol.…
