Gale knows it's wretched to think so, but he wishes it was his leg, not dough boy’s that got blown off. Truthfully, in the end, it doesn’t even matter that Mellark gets shipped home before him- he had already won Katniss’s heart, if her lengthy letters to baker boy and two-liners to him were any indication. Still, he sulks, lazing in his cot as his battalion waits for the orders that’ll ship them from the French countryside and into some action where he’ll be able to shoot some fascists again. “You still dilly dallying?” Thom, his best mate asks, lifting up the tent flap and coming in. He’s holding a stack of envelopes in his hand. Gale had forgotten today was mail day, especially since Katniss had stopped writing. He’ll just pick up his mail later. “Shut up,” is all Gale says as he closes his eyes again. He isn’t in the mood for Thom’s tomfoolery. “Aww, c’mon Gailey,” Thom pesters, using that fucking annoying nickname again. “You don’t even wanna read this letter a broad wrote for you?” Gale’s eyes fly open. Katniss had written?! “Gimme that,” Gale growls, reaching over snatch the letters from Thom. “Hey!” Thom exclaims. “Some of those are mine, give ‘em back!” After finally getting the letters sorted, Gale flips through his envelops. One from Ma, as expected. He knew from past letters that his little sister Posy will have included a picture in the letter since she couldn’t draw yet. He kept all her pictures in his uniform pocket, right above his heart. Then there was one from Vick and Rory. The punks liked to write by alternating lines, so it was as if he was reading a conversation transcript of the two. He’d never admitted it, but it was damn entertaining and made him miss his fool brothers fiercely. The third letter, however, was addressed to him from an address all the way out in Philadelphia? “Zoooo wee!” Thom whistles, reading over his shoulder. “How come you never told me you got a broad in Philly? Heard the girls up there love sharin’ the crop, if you know what I mean.” “One day, you’ll mouth off to General Abernathy, and I’ll be part of the firing squad when you’re court martialed,” Gale snaps, shoving Thom away as he tries to lunge for the letter to pry it from Gale. “Stick in the
Hitler managed to captivate and motivate an entire country by using propaganda, the youth, and the power, to make the entire population of germans hate Jews. Hitler succeeded indoctrination of the German people, in many ways: through the Hitler Youth, education, and propaganda. The main form of indoctrination was the Hitler Youth. Hitler was believed that children could be totally indoctrinated in their education.

Nobody in this world has an easy life. Even some of our greatest heroes such as Rosa Parks or Babe Ruth were faced with many difficult decisions. Katniss Everdeen's life was definitely no walk in the park. Many challenges, both physical and emotional, were thrown at her face during the 16 years she spent in district 12 and her time in the arena. Early on in her life she had been forced to use the hunting and gathering skills that her father taught her to provide food for her mother and sister after his death plunged them into a life of poverty and starvation. During the games Katniss plays up a romance with Peeta hoping to get more sponsors to help with their survival in the arena, little does she know, he isn't faking his love for her. Survival is Katniss' main priority as she battles head-to-head with her 23 competitors in the arena. All Katniss knows is that these games are survival of the fittest, and if she wants to come home to her family alive, she needs to step up her game.
Right now women are fighting for the right to be treated as equals to men; to not be seen as objects or weak. Similarly, the colonists fought against Britain to be seen as being capable of being an independent country. Ironically, Kelly stands for women’s rights but believes that blacks do not deserve equal treatment than white people. Furthermore, the colonists fought for their freedom yet suppress blacks as slaves, who deserve the same right to freedom. Therefore the purpose that West has in mind is mocking and scorning Megyn Kelly, and conservative women for their views on equality and rights.
The Hunger Games Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins has very deep characterization. Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist, was the winner of the previous Hunger Games. She is picked for the Quarter Quell, which picks winners of past Hunger Games to fight each other again in a new arena. Her and Peeta are chosen again. Katniss is a character who cares about others but will do whatever it takes to make sure the ones she cares about are safe. This is shown on page 189 when she says "But I have a mission. No, it's more than a mission. It's my dying wish. Keep Peeta alive." In this quote, Katniss shows how much she cares about Peeta by putting the safety of his front of her own. Peeta is tough selfless person who cares about Katniss and her well being.
“Jealous?” A smirk grew on his face, hiding laughter behind a taunting pair of lips. “Don’t think I forgot about you. Last time I checked, you owe me for letting you know what I know about Zachary’s little girlfriend. But don’t fret. I’m very flexible with payment plans.”
In the novel “The Hunger Games” Suzanne Collins conveys the qualities of a hero through the main character Katniss Everdeen. The novel is based around a dystopian nation, in which is placed in Panem. Through which a boy and a girl from each district must take part in ‘The Hunger Games’ where they have to fight to the death, until there is one survivor. Katniss subsequently evolves as a significant hero portraying the heroic qualities such as selflessness, identity change and intelligence. Selflessness is shown as she puts others before herself, her identity changes as she has to put up a brave face, and intelligence is displayed as her strategies progress in the games.
Katniss finally arrives to the Capitol. Here is where things start to change and life as she knows it is completely different. The first thing on the agenda is to cleanse Katniss. She is waxed from head to toe and is washed down for Cinna (her stylist) to create the new Katniss Everdeen “Girl on Fire”. After being completely transformed, Katniss and Peeta (the boy tribute from
“ I volunteer, I volunteer as tribute.” Says Katniss Everdeen, the main character in my book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins . Has someone that you love ever been in danger? Prim Rose Everdeen has been chosen as the girl tribute for district 12. Her older sister Katniss volunteers in her place because of how much she cares about her . Katniss Everdeen is Prim’s sister and also the main character in the book “The Hunger Games.”, by Suszanne Collins. This an action packed distopian book that show what the world could be like in the upcoming years if we don’t fix our culture. I believe that Katniss is a brave and courageous person and that love for someone can overcome anything.
An unknown person once said, “When we read books, we don’t fall in love with the characters appearances. We fall in love with their thoughts, their words, and their actions. We fall in love with their souls.” In the dystopian novel, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, this is exactly what happens, Katniss moves the readers by having such characteristic and skills to be able to survive. Katniss’s characteristics, of being caring, having a determined personality, and her intelligence in survival skills, all help support the theme of Katniss being able to survive.
The book The Hunger Games, portrays a society where people are treated unfairly based on factors that they cannot control. The people are born into one of 13 districts. There lives vary drastically based on where they are born. Someone born in the Capitol has a completely different life than someone born in district 12. A person born in the Capitol lives a wealthy life and is always treated with respect. On the other hand someone born in district 12 has a life of constant back breaking work. They live in poverty and struggle to survive.
"He was carrying a suitcase with clothing in order to stay and another just like it with almost two thousand letters that she has written him they were arranged by date in bundles tied with colored ribbons, and they were all unopened."
The second oldest form of literature after poetry is drama. Dramas have changed a lot over the years. They use to plays that were wrote to be performed in the theater, and now they are mostly written to be performed in a movie or a television show. There are many dramas today that most people would not considered to be drama. Before reading the information in our text book, I thought drama was basically just a story or movie between people who had problems with each other; but that’s not completely true. Dramas can basically be anything that has a hero or dialogue to a certain extent. For this paper, I choose to write about the drama in the movie The Hunger Games. This movie is not just only drama, it is also adventure and sci-fi movie.
The main problem/conflict throughout the novel is the struggle to survive. The 24 contestants in the Hunger Games must kill each other and be the last one remaining. Another conflict is the conflict that Katniss has with herself. She battles with herself, unable to decide whether she loves Gale or if she loves Peeta. For all of the contestants, they must decide who to befriend, betray, or kill.
