Analysis Of The Movie ' The Hunger Games '

The day of reaping was a day all districts feared. It is a reminder to all twelve districts that the capitol hold the power over us, that they own us, that they control us. When I heard my name called I didn’t know what to think. The fact that my life was practically over and that out of every boy in the district I was chosen to compete in the games made me so mad. The odds were not in my favour. But I knew I had to be brave, for my family and for my district. Standing next to Katniss on stage at the day of the reaping was the worst feeling in the world. Knowing we had chance at survival. But thanks to our generous sponsers and our mentor Haymitch, Katniss and I remain standing here

Katniss is the protagonist of the novel. She is a tough, self-sufficient, extremely loyal girl whose childhood was cut short by responsibility. After her father died, her mother sank into a deep depression, so it was up to Katniss to feed the family. One evening, she was going through others' trash in desperation when Peeta Mellark purposefully burned bread from his family's bakery and gave it to her. She feels like she owes him for that action, because after that she realizes the forest will be how to feed her family. She and her friend Gale regularly hunt wild game and gather food, selling some and keeping some for their families. Katniss dearly loves her younger sister Prim, so much so that she volunteers to go to the Hunger Games in Prim's place. Though Katniss could very easily feel bitter towards her more sheltered sister, instead she is fiercely protective of her. During the Games, this protectiveness transfers to another young tribute named Rue who Katniss grows very close too and mentors as she were an older sister to Rue.

Like in any typical hero movie, there is a call that the protagonist has to answer. In The Hunger Games, Katniss hears her calling when her sister, Prim is drawn to participate in the Hunger games. Knowing that Prim is definitely not a violent person, Katniss 's instincts kick in and she volunteers for her sister without

Welcome to The Hunger Games, a Lionsgate film. The film is set in the futuristic setting of a post- apocalyptic North American nation called Panem. The movie reveals 12 poor districts which are ruled by the wealthy Capital. The Capital destroyed district 13 for non-compliance to the rules and governing imposed on all districts. As a result the Capital created The Hunger Games as an annual televised event. Each of the remaining 12 districts must produce via lottery one male and one female child between the ages of 12 and 18, to represent their districts. Tributes, ultimately fighting to the death to entertain the Capital’s flamboyant and rich residents.

Katniss Everdeen, the main character is seen in an incessant state of anguish, worrying about her beloved younger sister Prim, without the slightest concern for her own welfare, an idiosyncrasy that robustly contradicts with the typical perfect and flawless main character portrayed in almost all action/adventure films. The controversial scene then ends with the fearless Katniss Everdeen taking her sister’s place and volunteering for her in the Hunger Games after she had been conscripted. There are even ceaseless ties made between District 12 and World War II concentration camps ranging from the rag like clothing to the groups of hopeless children with guns aimed at their face, further deliberating Katniss’s initial mother like and selfish instincts when preferring to worry about her sister in an environment that can be related to a significant historical atrocity. As a set-up for the rest of the film, this sequence plays an important role in constructing the underlying theme of the film as a whole. The fact that Katniss finds her own empathy, sense of caring and compassion and her journey of going from a un-trusting and instinctive girl to a strong moraled, selfless woman that would rather die than take an innocent human life. An

In this novel, Katniss who possesses the ability to hunt with great ease and knowledge, is called to save her sister Prim's life, when she is announced as a tribute. When two people chosen from each district are to participate as ‘tributes’ in the Hunger Games, Katniss does something completely unheard of for

Katniss is an orphan poor girl lives in with her mom who is she suffering from Mental illness because of her husband dead ,so Katniss’s main preoccupation is to keep her family well-fed.

The Hunger Games takes place in the future where the nation is divided into 12 districts. Every year two young individuals are chosen from each distract to fight in the hunger games which was made up because many years ago the districts had a rebellion against the capital and lost so they set up the hunger games to show that they have control. The tributes are chosen by a raffle, one boy and one girl. This year Peeta, a baker’s son and 16 years old Katniss Everdeen’s younger sister, Prim, are both chosen. The games are set up so everyone in each district can watch all the tributes fight to their deaths. For the first time ever seen, Katniss volunteers to take Prim’s place in the games. Many wonder, what would have occurred in the games if Katniss did not volunteer for her sister.

On page 22, the reader notices a contrast and contradiction because Katniss, who seems like she is very serious, shows the loving side of her. “‘I volunteer,’ I gasp, ‘I volunteer as tribute.’” This quote exemplifies how Katniss would rather die herself than to see her sister die in the arena. So she does something that rarely ever happens in district twelve - she volunteers as tribute. By volunteering, she is sacrificing her life for Prim, her sister, who was supposed to fight to the death in the arena. To add, on page 32 Katniss has a memory moment back to when she was younger and her father had just died about a month earlier. The quote on page 32, “To this day, I can never shake the connection between this boy, Peeta Mellark, and the bread that gave me hope,” shows that before the games there is a clear connection between the two; Peeta sacrifices bread for not only Katniss, a young, hungry girl, but he is really sacrificing for the greater good of humanity in District 12. It is more than just giving a loaf of bread to a starving girl. In actuality, he knows that people need

Katniss Everdeen is the girl tribute from District 12. She is 16 and lives in the dirtier part of town called the Seam. On the reaping day her younger sister Primrose was chosen to be the girl tribute, so Katniss volunteered to take her place. Katniss has many skills like being able to use the bow and arrow very well and being able to identify plants. In the games, Katniss forms and alliance with Rue (the girl tribute from District 11). Katniss killed Glimmer by cutting a tracker jacker nest onto her head and killed Cato and Marvel with her bow and arrow. Katniss gets sponsors by playing up the romance with Peeta (the boy tribute from District 12). In the end, Katniss and Peeta become the victors.

In a dystopian world, in the former United States, now called Panem, there is a girl named Katniss Everdeen who is a great archer and huntress. She lives in poverty with her mother and sister in the twelfth out of twelve districts. The day she wakes up is called “Reaping day”. It's the day where all the children in each district gather up for one boy and one girl to be chosen for “The Hunger Games”. The games take the two chosen from each of the twelve districts and make them compete in an arena to fight to the death until only one remains.

2.Reaping day is the day is which where they call a boy and a girl from each district to participate in a game for a fight to death.

In the Hunger Games, one young male and one young female are randomly selected from each District, or town, every year to go into war with one another. Only one of the twenty-four make it back out of the game alive. The mayor announces the chosen ones every year at a ceremony known as the reaping, where he explains the history and purpose of the games. There was a war in the past between the Capitol and the Districts. Since the Capitol won, they hold the Hunger Games in honor of their victory. The story mostly focuses on a specific Hunger Games tribute, Katniss Everdeen, who chose to volunteer for her sister who was originally chosen as tribute. Katniss and District 12’s boy tribute, Peeta, are shipped off to train for the games for a few weeks in order to learn more about how the game is played and how the Capitol actually has a huge hand on who wins depending on their likeability. People who live in the Capitol actually send survival gifts in the games, which is the key to winning.

She has a younger sister named Prim and a mother, however it is time for the reaping which is when the Capitol picks names out of a bucket for one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts to participate in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death tournament where the winner gets fame and fortune. Prim gets chosen to participate in the games, but Katniss volunteers to take her place(22). A boy from their district named Peeta also gets chosen and Katniss realizes that he had given her bread when she didn’t have food for her family. They go to the Capitol and meet their mentor, Haymitch(56), who helps them train, then they go into the arena and battle. Peeta joins up with some Careers, children that trained for the Hunger Games all their lives, and tries to win but then he betrays them. The Gamemakers make a rule change and say that two tributes from the same district can win together so Katniss finds Peeta and helps him because he has been injured. After they are the only two people left the Gamemakers change the rule back to force Katniss and Peeta to fight each other, rather than fight, Katniss takes some poisonous berries, called Nightlock, she found in the arena and gives half of
