I think the theme of The Hunger Games is to survive but keep your humanity while doing so. I believe this because when Peeta and Katniss get sent to the Hunger Games they are able to kill those who attack but save those willing to be allies. An example of this would be when Katniss could have easily killed Peeta and became the next Victor but she agreed to kill herself with him. She did this because she didn’t want to live with the consequences of his death and to get back at the Capitol. In other words, she didn’t kill him because to her it was inhuman. This book is very similar to The Fifth Wave because humans have to survive against a superior force to end the violence and chaos. If you liked Life as We Knew It, Divergent, Legend, or Maze
