The hunger games short stories

After the process of selection, named reaping; the pair is taken to the capital in preparation for the hunger games. They have a support team consisting of a former champion named Haymitch, Effie, the wrangler and stylists named Portia and Cinna. The stylists dress the two up in flames ad this sparks much attention. Katniss excels in training and scores very high in archery.

Peetah, on the other hand, scores low and requests separate training. Peetah reveals his crush on live television and Katniss decides to play along as it worked in gaining support from the audience and even sponsors. The 24 tributes are taken to the battle arena. Katniss is alone at first but then meets Rue, a young District 11 girl who reminded her of her sister. Peetah teams up with some Career tributes led by Cato who were from the wealthy families and enjoyed the games.

Rue and Katniss destroy the food supplies of the career tributes and in the process, realize that Peetah was not among them. One Career tribute kills Rue. Katniss honors her by covering her body with flowers. Katniss seeks out Peetah who was wounded. This instinctual reaction allows humans to protect. This horrific tale is about a mass city wide gathering where everyone participates in the ritualistic stoning of one of their citizens.

This short story is the perfect example for learning about group violence, and is ideal for teaching children and teens a lesson in following the crowd. However, during. I have chosen to look at films,novels and short stories that are to do with being controlled. Road and Hunger Games comparison Both the Hunger Games and The Road are two books set in the same type of environment of being poor, explored choices of humans facing a test of humanity, impacted by human modernization and technology and emotional power.

We will explore the different themes and compare the logic between the pages. I feel that the story line was. As I laid down in the sand I could feel the overbearing burning sensation of the sun burning my skin. While I laid my head down I could hear the voices of little kids playing in the sand, parents talking in the background, splashing of water, and the barely audible tidal waves. Everything seemed halcyon. Nothing seemed different.

Everything was normal. I got tired of the burning sensation of the sun kissing my skin so I decided to stand up and start reading a book.

I brought a couple interesting books with me so I struggled to decide what book to read. I came to a consensus to continue reading Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I gasp and immediately drop the stick and walk over to the young children.

You need to hide. Sounds pierce my ears as bombs are going off, they must be mines under the ground as they get nearer to us by the second. I make sure that Seel is okay, though he nods in reasurement, we continue running for what seems hours though must only be for about a few minutes, maybe 10 at the most.

I look around at the towering trees and tap at them to see which one would be the easiest to climb. I find some sticks on the ground and start to make a simple bow and arrow for me, and a slingshot for Seel for defence and for game. My names Thalia, Just Just trust me.

I lift up Casey onto a low branch and tell her to climb up if she wants to survive. She follows my orders and climbs higher and higher up into the Oak, until I finally tell her to rest. I gather more branches and make a few snares to catch some game, though it takes several hours until I have grabbed a small sized squirrel. I sigh and skin the squirrel before roasting it on a fire I have just made.

I pass a ration of it over to Seel and Casey before having a few to myself and put the rest in the backpack I found from a dead citizen. I never really checked what was in my backpack so I check again, though all I can see is a sleeping bag, some water, a loaf of freshly brought bread and half an apple, as I look inside a pocket I find a small photo frame with a picture of a beautiful young woman and a tall and smart looking man who must be her husband, whilst the person in her arms must be a newborn.
