Katniss’ story begins at the reaping, or the selection of tributes from each district,…

The Hunger Games The book The Hunger Games was written by a woman named Suzanne Collins. Suzanne Collins is most known for writing this book and the following books of the Hunger Games Trilogy.

not seem alike each other at first. Many dystopian books are different and seem like that once you have finished reading them, but once you analyse them and look deeper you can realise how they are very much alike in many areas. William Golding and Suzanne Collins both use internal and external conflicts to present a bleak warning of the future; this is shown similarly in their novels “Lord of the Flies” and “The Hunger Games” Many characters in both of these novels often struggle with making…

Dear President Snow, This is Katniss Everdeen from District 12 and the winner of the 74th Hunger Games. It has been sometime since the games ended and though I am relieved to be alive, I am still not at peace.

Prove yourself “I'm going to stand outside. So if anyone asks, I'm outstanding.” In The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, the protagonist Katniss Everdeen portrayed many outstanding characteristics throughout the story.

Effie Trinket, the escort, chose one boy and one girl from each district. There was only one rule: Kill or be…
