She also has to relive the horrors of the games because her and Peeta Mellark fellow winner of the games have to go on the Victory Tour around all the districts so the Capitol can keep the terror of the games alive. Then later it is announced that, “‘on the seventy-fifth anniversary… the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors’”(Collins 175) which meant that Katniss and Peeta along with the other victors would have to go back into the Hunger Games again and fight to win. The book is set in a futuristic place called Panem. Which according the website Shmoop.com Panem is “...a country that - after a series of vague disasters - rose from the ashes of North America… [and] it’s all pretty post-apocalyptic”(Shmoop Editorial Team) where people are put into different districts. While the more wealth people get to live in the Capitol where they do not worry about starvation and everything else that the people in the districts go

While The Underland Chronicles made Collins a well-known author, her next series in ratcheted up her celebrity status. As Collins later recalled, The Hunger Games trilogy was born while she was watching television late one night. Flipping through the channels, Collins was suddenly struck by the lack of distinction between reality TV and coverage of the Iraq war. "We have so much programming coming at us all the time," she says. "Is it too much? Are we becoming desensitized to the entire experience? . . .I can't believe a certain amount of that isn't happening."

On the home stretch of the plot to kill Snow, Katniss arrives at Snow’s mansion when she notices human shield of children unknowingly guarding the mansion. Before she can do anything, more rebels arrive on the scene invoking a retaliation of silver parachutes; silver parachutes that usually contain food, medicine, and gifts. These parachutes however blow up maiming and killing many of the children, rebel medics quickly rush onto the scene and one medic in particular catches Katniss’ eye, “First I get a glimpse of the blonde braid down her back… Then I’m pushing through the crowd… That’s when the rest of the parachutes go off.” (347) Primrose Everdeen, Katniss’ sister, throughout the novel has sacrificed much for Panem in order to move through rebel medical ranks, but Collins decided now she’d make the ultimate sacrifice for Panem. Not for Katniss, Prim didn’t even know Katniss was near until it was too late, she sacrificed herself for the rebels, Panem, and her fellow children; too bad she sacrificed for the ones ignorant of their leader’s real goal. The immolation of Prim left Katniss with nothing to gain and sent her down a spiral of grief and “insanity” that left the fate of Panem hanging in the balance. The balance is saved however when Snow’s long awaited day of execution comes. Before Katniss executes the President she remembers the revelations that President Coin, former leader of District 13 and current leader of Panem, is responsible for Prim’s death, want a 76th Hunger Games, and is essentially a female version of Snow. Katniss instead of executing Snow like she wanted to for most of the book assassinates Coin. “It seemed to balance the need for vengeance with the least loss of life.” (369) And that it does, in

Suzanne Collins portrays the theme throughout the novel with the main protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, as she struggles to endure her daily life and the annual Hunger Games. Collins displays the prodigious amount of persistence of Katniss Everdeen and her comrade, Peeta Mellark, which allows them to survive throughout the Hunger Games.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, our lives are a mirror, reflection is a must...” (Lynda Meyers) Disney did a rather good representation on the Grimm brother’s original fairytale. In both stories Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs conveys a message about the mirror representing a sense of self on a superficial and deep emotional level. It reinstates many cultural roles that have been put upon both woman and men. It is a story of self discovery and whether or not the characters are able to develop throughout the story in relation to the affects to a “real life individual”.

Katniss Everdeen, the main character is seen in an incessant state of anguish, worrying about her beloved younger sister Prim, without the slightest concern for her own welfare, an idiosyncrasy that robustly contradicts with the typical perfect and flawless main character portrayed in almost all action/adventure films. The controversial scene then ends with the fearless Katniss Everdeen taking her sister’s place and volunteering for her in the Hunger Games after she had been conscripted. There are even ceaseless ties made between District 12 and World War II concentration camps ranging from the rag like clothing to the groups of hopeless children with guns aimed at their face, further deliberating Katniss’s initial mother like and selfish instincts when preferring to worry about her sister in an environment that can be related to a significant historical atrocity. As a set-up for the rest of the film, this sequence plays an important role in constructing the underlying theme of the film as a whole. The fact that Katniss finds her own empathy, sense of caring and compassion and her journey of going from a un-trusting and instinctive girl to a strong moraled, selfless woman that would rather die than take an innocent human life. An

The book is in the voice of a young 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen who lives in District 12 which is the poorest district in all of Panem, and all of the districts are controlled by the Capitol. The character who is in charge of the Capitol is President Snow and he and the people of Panem have created this entertainment for themselves called the hunger games. The games consists of randomly drawing one male and one female from each district to compete in the games until one alive remains. The winner gets to receive an income from the Capitol, to live in a better environment in their district with their families, and is adored by the Capitol. The day of the reaping, which is the day the names are randomly drawn was mandatory for

Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, imagines a world where people are divided by district just like the real world does with the high, middle, low classes. This book is full of themes, literary devices and also talks about how the government — in this case the Capitol — oppresses their citizens.

The heiress knew that her father had some dirty little secrets, but she’d never imagined the depths of depravity that he would sink to. Paying $50,000 for the opportunity to fuck a teenager seemed extreme even to her sometimes excessive taste, and Lexi could only shake her head in disbelief when her lover repeated the sum again. She didn’t know what sort of girl would agree to a deal like that, blissfully unaware that Adam Levine had orchestrated the entire thing and was stringing Sophia Scott along like an eager puppy on a leash. She didn’t know that the photographer had promised the young co-ed fame and fortune as she slid down the slippery slope of depravity, and she didn’t know that he would be happy to see the same happen to her.

The vertical hierarchical structure and authoritarianism in bureaucratic organizations is what distorts communication, and reduces accountability, responsiveness and commitment towards core activities (Morris, Farrell, 2007). Instead a flatter hierarchy with decentralized management would be more favourable. It would be cost-efficient as wages would be allocated to fewer levels of management. For example, Call centres in the US adopted flat hierarchies to achieve minimization in costs (Bozionelos, 2008). Subordinates at lower levels of management will be expanded which will motivate staff and provide greater opportunities and sustainability wherein management leads and engages, but does not control and delegate (Dhillon et al. 2015). And consequently,
