The Hunger Games is the first book that makes up the famous trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. Katniss, the main character of the book, is a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in Panem, a country divided into 13 different districts. Every year, a harvest is organized, during which each district chooses a boy and a girl to participate in the games. Participants must kill each other to survive and only one person can end up winning. Thanks to Katniss's ingenuity and strategies, the two tributes from her district were able to survive and overcome this challenge. This universe clearly relates to the reality TV of our contemporary world and gladiator fights. This essay will analyze the different themes, used to convey symbols and messages, that arise throughout the novel. Panem is the country where the Hunger Games take place and represents a dystopian United States because it is divided into thirteen districts under the power of the Capitol. Like in America, which began with thirteen colonies governed by a colonizing country: England. Here, there is a very clear difference between the lives of the rich and that of the poor. In fact, all the wealth is concentrated in the Capitol, the richest district, or in other certain districts. Most people in these districts suffer from severe malnutrition, which creates discontent among the population and leads to rebellion. An example of this is when Katniss Everdeen illegally hunts in the forest beyond her district to be able to bring food to her family: "The woods became our savior (...) at first it was slow, but I I was determined to do it. let's feed ourselves. I stole eggs from nests, caught fish in nets, sometimes managed to shoot a squirrel or a rabbit.” The sixteen year old girl, being one of the tributes, experiences...... middle of paper...... a gold token that Katniss wears during the Games to represent her district, which was gifted to her by his younger sister Prim. It symbolizes a bird in flight, which is usually a symbol itself of freedom, but represents challenge in the novel, alongside District 12, and therefore, therefore, his family and community. Hope is what keeps us going, no matter the circumstances. This is seen in Suzanne Collins' book, where residents of the neighborhoods live hoping that one of their loved ones is not chosen, and if not, hoping that the tribute will survive this tremendous event . In conclusion, the themes found in The Hunger Games all represent important symbols and messages that give the book a more interesting and effective perspective. Additionally, it is important to notice how this novel relates to our contemporary world, making it more realistic..
