Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, imagines a world where people are divided by district just as the real world does with the upper, middle, and lower classes. This book is full of themes, literary devices and also talks about how the government, in this case the Capitol, oppresses its citizens. This book contains many universal messages, but the most prevalent are that if you want to do something, you can do it. this and the other is that true love is the strongest feeling in the world. When you really like something, you work really hard for it. If you are failing a subject, you work tirelessly to pass it. In this case, The Hunger Games expresses a universal message that when you want to do something, you can do it. In other words, if you want to survive, you have to fight for it. This is Katniss' situation when she decides to protect her sister when she is selected to go to the Hunger Games and must fight to survive and keep the promises she makes to her sister. “Really, really try. I swear,” I say. And I know that, because of Prim, I will have to do it,” (p. 36). This is Katniss's promise that motivates all her days when she has to watch out for some tribute to come and kill her first, and when she has nothing to eat or a place to sleep. This is the clearest example that when you really want something, or when you have a motivation or a goal, you are expected to give and do your best. When you really try hard and want to achieve something everything becomes impossible even this game was impossible for Katniss because in the end she knew that all that sacrifice had a reason and it was her sister. You realize all this exactly when he wins the games with Peeta, “The frenetic vo...... middle of paper ......zis and the Capitol. Furthermore, the tributes were forced to go to the Hunger Games just like when they captured a Jew and sent him to the concentration camp. The only difference between them was that of the “tributes” only one or two had the chance to stay alive, the rest were condemned to death. Works Cited "Introduction to the Holocaust."
