In the hunger games there is a lot of sacrifice. For example when Katniss sacrifices her life in our to save her sisters, or when petta warns her to run from the careers, risking his own life. Also Katniss putting her name in the reaping more in order to get the tesserae to feed her family. Sacrifice is the theme in the book that got to me the most. What theme got to you? How was this theme displayed the book?
The games is a very cruel and unusual thing to think about having to be apart of. do you think that you would be able to survive the harsh enviroment and conditions, kill few triubutes to come out on top?
I think the theme that got me the most is the love triangle. Peeta, Gale, and Katniss. Peeta would sacrifice anything for Katniss and to keep her alive!But Katniss dousnt even notice him, she is very selfish in this book. She is always thinking about what is best for her, the only time that changes is with rue. She is constintly thinking about gale in the games and not worried about Peeta who is risking his life for her.
ReplyDeleteI personally dont think i would be able to survive the games. I would trust people I shouldnt.
I believed that anger was the theme of that book that kept pulling me in. Everyone kept throwing the power of the Capitol and wanted to do very much to not support it. The pin was a sign of overthrow/ rebellion. I believe that I would be able to survive by myself because I can hunt and fish without a gun, or fishing pole. My dad showed me how to make traps and things that allow you to catch fish with just a twig and possible line if you can find some. I may be able to find something to stab or shot the other tributes to kill them. Dont really know if I would win or not but I would surley try!
ReplyDeleteI think that I was also the theme that shocked me the most. Taking the sacrifice in doing whatever was necessary to stay alive I imagine took alot of courage. The hardest part to me would be killing other tributes. I don't think I could do it. I wouldn't be able to get myself to kill another human being, just for the sake of a game, and the pathetic entertainment of others. The sacrifice the tributes showed was inspirationsal, yet also sad at the same time.

There were countless themes but the most obvious was survival. Survival was a daily struggle for the majority of the characters. It takes courage and streangth to be able to overcome the hardships that Katniss went through. I think the frustration would eventually take me over.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I would react if ever put in the same situation as the tributes. If I knew that the survival of my family depended on me winning the games, then I think I could actually kill another person. However, I wouldn't depend on physical streangth but on out thinking the others.
