    In the Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins, one of the main characters, Katniss Everdeen, had a problem with fearing for her survival. This made it hard for her to retrieve her food, water, and wound healing supplies given to her by sponsors. In the beginning Katniss had no confidence what so ever about coming out as champion or even surviving the games, but as the storyline continued more toward the end of book she seemed to become more comfortable with the idea that she could potentially die. This might be due to the fact that she had to push to stay alive for the sake of her 12 year old younger sister, but then realized that her sister would be proud of her no matter what. An outcome of participating in the games, Katniss developed a…

    Surviving the Hunger Games was difficult enough, but playing the game at a such challenging arena made that task that much harder. Being at that the Capitol, also meant that she alone could not provide for her family anymore. She would have to count on friends in District 12 to help her family out. “Gale will get her the herbs she doesn’t grow herself,...He’ll also bring them game-he and I made a pact about this a year or so ago…”(35). Being the head of the household, and then being ripped away for the family had a devastating effect on Katniss’s family. Being at the capital also meant that that she was always under surveillance, and everything she did was being watched. Every part was her life was under the control of the capitol, and there wasn’t a way that Katniss could fight back. Being a Hunger Games tribute at the Capitol, meant that she had the do countless interviews and win over as many fans that she could. Pretending to be somebody that she isn’t is one obstacle that she will have a hard time…

    Analysis: The Hunger Game

    • 354 Words

    The hunger game definitely describes the conflict between worker class and capital class in a extreme case. And that’s the frequent criticism on capitalism such that it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Luckily, capitalism comes with democracy and the people can throw away their government if they suffer too much. I once took a philosophy class which we analyzed a lots of social model from different philosophers and discussed which is the best model. We came to the conclusion that a good social model should have a clear bottom line, and the government have the responsibility to keep all the people above that bottom line to prevent the “bottom people” suffering. In contrast to communism, this model doesn’t have a top line to prevent…

    There are 7.2 billion people on Earth and no one is the same. Even though babies are born with no knowledge about their surroundings, they learn and adapt to it as they grow up. Their character keeps changing because of the influence from the outside world. Such major influences are social and political issues. Authors and filmmakers are trying to portray the social/political issues that people from a particular country faces to everyone through their films and novels. Poverty and freedom are the most common issues faced by people in almost every country. The film Hunger Games and McLaughlin’s novel Scored best illustrate these…

    For Katniss, survival has become more than just hiding out and avoiding the Careers; she recognizes that truly to survive, she must play the Game to win. Now in the Catching Fire book, “A mockingjay is a creature the Capitol never intended to exist. They had not counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to pass on its genetic code, to thrive in a new form. They had not anticipated its will to live.” (Katniss 92) Katniss is talking about the mockingjay, the iconic symbol of the rebellion, but she may as well be talking about herself. The spirit of resistance and rebellion is alive in Katniss, though she doesn’t yet realize it. She survived her first Hunger Games despite being from the poorest District with, historically, the least-prepared tributes. Like the mockingjay, no one expected her to survive, but she was able to adapt to survival. The tributes themselves are symbols of a war fought 75 years ago, and their deaths serve as a reminder of the power the Capitol wields. However, the Capitol underestimated Katniss’s own will to live, as well as her defiance. Katniss is more than a symbol she is a human being. She has grown up under the Capitol’s rules, and now they are forced to contend with…

    In The Hunger Games, Katniss is always careful to never show signs of weakness because she is the main caretaker for her family. She is conscious of the fact that she must never surrender to her fears, as this could bring more hardship on her family. This serves her well in the games, where any show of vulnerability could get her killed. The interesting thing about her keeping up this appearance of strength is that it seems to fuel her natural instincts and actually helps to make her tougher. The tougher the obstacles that she faces, the more hopeful and purposeful she becomes. This aura of hopefulness is obviously sensed by others around her, as when the character of Cinna says to her, "I want the audience to recognize you when you 're in the arena." "Katniss, the girl who was on fire" (Hunger…

    Throughout The Hunger Games series, there is a huge shift in the main character Katniss Everdeen. In the first Hunger Games movie, it introduces Katniss, who grew up in district twelve, the poorest district out of all thirteen. She lived in a place where finding a piece of bread on the ground was like winning the lottery. Once Katniss started to train for the games, people started seeing how talented she is with a bow and arrow, and she started to understand that she has some power over others. By the end of the first movie, Katniss is really starting to understand that she has power, considering the fact that she had won the game.

    She is characterzed by being a caring person who encourage ones around her to keep going no matter what. Im always there for people who ask for my help, and im also a caring person. The motivation that Katniss showed through her actions is away that I am when helping others, or in a bad situation. Not once in the movie did I see her give up on anything, even if she had gotten hurt really bad. She stuck to what she had to do or either what she was going to do in order to get things back to how they were. Even when it came to helping another team player, she didn’t see it as a threat which showed how caring she…

    The Hunger Games is a book that highlights the predicaments of western democracies, though exaggerated. The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins is set in the post-apocalyptic country of Panem, North America. Each year the Capitol organizes an event known as the Hunger Games: a horrendously gory battle between 24 randomly-selected teenagers from the oppressed Districts of Panem. The government broadcasts this onslaught live on television as entertainment for the Capitol citizens and as a timely reminder of the totalitarian government’s control over all twelve Districts. The Hunger Games positions all readers to caution western democracies, like Australia, to not lose sight of the value of democracy and not become complacent in allowing dictatorship to become a reality. This essay will discuss the division and control between the Capitol and Districts, the social inequality and the role of the competitors. The problems highlighted in the book are very closely linked to inequalities found throughout the world today, for example the contrasting western democracy of USA with communist North Korea.…
