Catching Fire Hunger Games

I have read Catching Fire twice, and I enjoyed the book. I feel this book should not be banned. Listed are the top three reasons this book is banned:
1) Sexually explicit
2) Violence
3) Offensive language
I can understand offensive language since this is a war book. I do not agree with the other two reasons. In the first two books of the trilogy there is not sexual content that I read. Most people focus on one scene and there are no details. The closes that comes to being sexually explicit is the word naked. The scene that they talk about is after the first day of training, where a woman from a different district strips in the elevator. To me that is no different than Clark Kent changing clothes in a telephone

    Even though the Hunger Games and Star Wars follow the Hero’s Journey there are lots of similarities and differences through the two stories.

    In the book ‘The Hunger Game Catching Fire’ i've learned many new and interesting things that got my attention, like when Gale was beat and almost got killed, and when the poison fog almost killed finnick, Peeta, and Katniss. In the book the most intense part was at then end when Katniss shot the arrow at the barrier right when after the lightning strikes and everything falls apart and it looks like Katniss dies. One of the major things that are solved is when Beetee finds out that when the lightning strikes at the tree it's like a clock so at every hour a trap come, but only on some areas.

    I think that these reasons are good reasons to ban the book but I also feel that it should not be banned. This book can open up a teen’s eyes to the world around them. People that seem ok can be struggling and this book teaches that you should not just go into denial like Beth, but you should be more like Calvin and take action when someone is down in the dumps. The profanity in the story I also believe is a positive.…

    The literary elements the author used in Chapter 3, 4, and 5 is Allusion, Amplification, and Characteristics, and Anthropomorphism. And the reason why I think the author choose Allusion is because in this Chapter they are heading to the train station so they can go to the Capitol. And the reason why I think the author Amplification is because Effie is telling Peeta and Katniss in the train what will be happening and thing they will do and people they will met when they reach the Capitol. This Chapter is about when Katniss is saying Goodbye to her family, friends, and people who care about her family and upset that she volunteer in the Hunger Games for her sisters.

    When comparing the universes in which Anne of Green Gables and The Hunger Games exist, it is easy to see that the former takes place in a smaller, much more contained environment, whereas the latter inhabits a more expansive and far-reaching world. Despite these contrasting settings, the key element that the two universes both commonly share is the concept of different groups of people, and the varying power dynamics between them. Although utilized in different manners, Collins and Montgomery both enlist the help of food to emphasize and illuminate these power dynamics between characters. In The Hunger Games, Collins introduces Panem, a nation established in a post-apocalyptic world composed of twelve districts; each with a varying degree…

    I strongly recommended A Song of Ice and Fire to be a required fiction to read. It is worthwhile. Firstly, A Song of Ice and Fire, in my point of view, is not merely a fantasy and fiction, it more like a historical stories, reflected the moment in Wars of the Roses, representing a change of epics. The continents Westeros and Essos are similar as the two rival branches in throne of England: House of Plantagenet and House of York in 15th century, and even parallel as the current confliction between the mainland China and Taiwan now.…

    The Hunger Games Panem’s government is under the control of a single person named President Snow. President Snow is a dictator, he misuses his personal power and does not have to convince anyone that his plans are rational. In a dictatorship, power is absolute and all decisions of the dictator are law, no matter what harm could be caused by them. Panem could be considered to be under an authoritarian dictatorship where the dictator demands obedience to his authority over any desire for individual freedom and usually has the nation’s military forces for back them up. President Snow is very persistent with getting his way and often uses force to do this.…
