The Hunger Games Catching Fire In Suzanne Collins' novel The Hunger Games Catching Fire the story explores the dystopian world of Panem and the struggles of its protagonist, Katniss Everdeen. Throughout the book, several quotes stand out as significant, offering insights into the themes of rebellion, manipulation, and the power of hope. These quotes illustrate the characters' motivations and the broader social commentary of the series.
For this task I will be presenting about Katniss Everdeen from the hunger games and how she is a tragic hero and I will be relating this back to the greek hero Oedipus. What makes a hero, a hero as stated by the reproject “Are people who transform compassion (a personal virtue) into heroic action (a civic virtue). In doing so, they put their best selves forward in service to humanity. A hero is as an individual or a network of people that take action on behalf of others in need, or in defense of integrity or a moral cause” (prezi.com). As you all know Katniss is the main character of hunger games and is identified as a tragic hero from the beginning to the end of the story.
There is a rebellion going on that the capitol has no idea about because during the games at the end of the book Katniss shoots an arrow at the force field that surrounds the arena where the tributes are fighting. Another major theme in this book is the theme of survival while keeping your feelings and . Katniss, represents this theme very well because she is going into a dangerous and risky game that the capital uses children to
Katniss had to be responsible for keeping her family and friends safe and alive, but she also had to take care of herself. In chapter eleven the Hunger Games had began and Katniss left behind the bow that was supposed to “belong to her”. She knew that there was no way she could have survived without it, but she also knew that it was her fault and she had to survive without it. In Chapter 13 Katniss was being “chased” by a fire and fire balls were being thrown at her. She got severely burned and couldn’t do much at all so she had to fix her own leg because there was no one else to help her.
At this point in the story, they have finally reached the surreal moment of winning the Hunger Games. In chapter twenty, page three hundred and forty five, the text states," '... Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present the victors of the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark!' I give you---the tributes of District 12!' " Katniss's perseverance has paid off.
but sometimes they don’t turn out the way hero’s want and most of the time they do. Katniss had a quest to go into the hunger games and win after she volunteered to take her sister 's spot. When they arrived to the capital her quest began, she went to trainings to train and to watch the other tributes to see what their strongest at doing. When training was over and it was time to go into the arena to battle for your life katniss was nervous but she went in with a brave face. As more and more people
In the beginning of the movie many of the choices Katniss makes are in order to ensure her families survival. The major decision that Katniss makes for her family is volunteering as a tribute in place of her younger sister, Prim. She made that decision so her younger sister, who was 12 at the time, would not have to fight for her life in the Hunger Games. Although this choice is major and is very prominent in the beginning, there are other choices that are make that show her determination to help her family survive. Another
These sponsors will send her things that help her along the way. She needs to gain attention, make herself worthy of being sponsored. She faces many more challenges before the games, especially in training. She doesn't get along with many of the other tributes, but makes a friend in a little girl Rue. Katniss starts to realize that the Careers are enemies.
The movie starts by introducing Katniss Everdeen, the main character, as strong and self-sufficient woman, capable of taking care of her family by hunting animals in the woods and taking her sister`s place in The Hunger Games. Together with Peeta Mellark, they head to the Capital by the train to get trained for the brutal game. When the games start, Katniss avoids listening to mentor 's advice and grabs the supplies from the building where the contest starts. She avoids closely getting killed a few times.
Katniss’s identity prior to the Games was almost solely based on hunting and gathering as a means of survival. If she was to in fact win then it would also result in a change of identity because her entire life was focused on that one goal “how would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by” (65). Katniss’s situation is comparable to if someone won a lottery half way through University, the reason most people go to school is to get a job and make money to support their desired lifestyle. Especially today where people prioritize education so much, for that to no longer be necessary would be extremely alarming and would also result in a change in identity. This is yet another example of how Katniss’s identity is changing due to the games.
“The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins is a suspenseful and frightening story about a 16 year old girl, Katniss everdeen who is born into a small village called District 12. The capitol, which controls the districts hosts an annual Hunger Games each and every year. Two tributes, a boy and a girl from each district are chosen between the ages of 12-18 to compete against 22 other tributes, but only one can win. Katniss is not chosen, but her younger sister Prim is chosen at only 12 years old. Katniss volunteers in Prim 's place and is now in the hunger games.
Moreover, the evidence tells us that Katniss is a selfless person who would basically give up her life for her family, even though she will be forced to go the capital, where she will be used as a pawn in the Hunger Games. Furthermore,
This essay will critically examine on how the female figure is represented throughout a very “selective” media outlet (the film industry), and how society is depicted in the film medium. The chosen media text for analysis is The Hunger Games, a theatrical adaptation of the novel written by Suzanne Collins and directed by Gary Ross. The film is centred on Katniss Everdeen - a teenage girl who volunteers on behalf of her sister, to fight in the annual Hunger Games- and the male District 12 tribute, Peeta Mellark, with whom she shares quite an intense past. Both characters embark on a journey that will test their physical and emotional boundaries, while being hunted by the other 22 competitors who all fight for the same objective: survival.
Katniss learns how to be more selfless and not let coming from district 12 define who she is and what she can do. Katniss is a strong, force,and selfless charter who the readers can see a little bit of themselves in her as she develops through the story. The readers also strive to be a little bit more like Katniss everyday because she has the strength and willpower to complete any task that she puts her mind too. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is an amazing book for readers of all
