As for the very ending, notice how I said ending after the first book would be "easy" for Katniss, but didn't say it would be best. The ending is perfect, really. Yeah, it is definitely sad that happened after all of that pain and suffering, but would Katniss have made the choice to do what she did if that hadn't happened? I don't think she would. She's motivated for partially selfish reasons, and that's what allows her to get manipulated so much in the first place. Personally, I think the ending is about as Hollywood happy ending as it could be made without betraying the themes of the book. Booklist Editors' Choice: Books for Youth, 2008. Booklist.

Poi abbiamo Peeta, qua dobbiamo fare un'applauso alla scrittrice in quanto è riuscita a rendere interessante un personaggio di indole dolce. So che molta altra gente avrebbe Gale a Peeta, ma mettendo i pro e i contro, Peeta è quello che ha il vantaggio, perché Gale e Katniss hanno un carattere troppo simili tra loro, e Peeta con il suo carattere riesce a controbilanciare i bollenti spiriti di Katniss.

Context: Katniss has been confronted with a girl who had her tongue cut off as punishment and remembers seeing her years earlier just as she was caught. According to memory, as the girl was dragged away, she screamed. Now years later and in the present, Katniss wonders: "The girl’s scream. Had it been her last?" Because people without tongues apparently can't scream. Franich, Darren (October 6, 2010). " 'The Hunger Games': How reality TV explains the YA sensation". Entertainment Weekly .

This is where people get confused in their reactions to the books, and those who focus on the plot and characters as if they were reading another Harry Potter often give up reading due to taking offense at the content and events of the books. Instead of the characters and plot being the focus, they are merely vessels for exploring the presented themes. Donald Brake from The Washington Times and pastor Andy Langford state that the story has Christian themes, such as that of self-sacrifice, which is found in Katniss' substitution for her younger sister, analogous to the sacrifice of Jesus as a substitute for the atonement of sins. [12] [13] Brake, as well as another reviewer, Amy Simpson, both find that the story also revolves around the theme of hope, which is exemplified in the "incorruptible goodness of Katniss' sister, Primrose." [14] Simpson also points to events similar to the Passion of Jesus; in the Games, "Christ figure" Peeta Mellark is stabbed after warning Katniss to flee for her life, and is then buried in the ground and placed in a cave for three days before emerging with a new lease on life. [14] Further, she finds that the Christian image of the Bread of Life is used throughout The Hunger Games; in the story, Peeta gives Katniss a loaf of bread, saving the girl and her family from starvation.

I don't know, but this strikes me as being only slightly more sensible than the Battle Royale justification. Apparently government officials in the future are as dumb as they are today.

To start things another way, I'll admit this: I had no interest in Hunger Games until, upon hearing someone actually describe it, I thought: "Holy smokemonsters. That sounds like an American rip-off of Battle Royale." From that moment on, there was little that could stop me from diving straight into Suzanne Collins' derivative little world.Which is not to say I didn't like a few things. I'm reviewing this trilogy as a whole and as a whole it was pretty damn good. But here's what I hated. The triangle with Peeta and Gale was totally unnecessary and stupid. Here you have two amazing guys who love Katniss. And then there's Katniss who just walks around in denial and gives away kisses left and right. Kiss Gale when he's hurting, kiss Peeta when he's mad. She needed to make up her mind already and fully go for one of them. I love Katniss, honestly, but I hate the way she handled this whole thing. I would've been fine with whoever she chose. As long as she just chose someone and fully went for it. Again, I think this triangle was completely unnecessary, especially if the author was planning to gloss over the love story the way she did. Because let's face it. There was no satisfaction in the emotional love department. I needed some true love moments, but she just ran away when Peeta went mad and she kept Gale at a distance because, I don't know why. Until Gale exited himself and she just kind of ended up with Peeta. Amongst the few book I read after seeing the movie (part 1) and I must say I liked having those extravagant pictures in my mind while enjoying the whole story.

The story is about how Katniss and Peeta, the boy tribute of District 12, play the Hunger Games and emerge as victors. While both are elated that they the worst part is over, Katniss realises that she has made it in to the Capitol’s watchlist. This is because the Capitol feels that she had defied them by her move at the end of the games to ensure her survival as well as Peeta’s. Blasingame, James. "The Hunger Games."

Suzanne Collins is the first author who made me actually want to pursue reading. For this and many other reasons named below, The Hunger Games is truly remarkable.Allora, credo che alla fine di questa lettura Katniss sia diventata uno dei miei comfort character, perché durante la lettura mi piaceva sempre di più in quanto lo vedo un personaggio reale: una persona che tiene alla famiglia e alle persone a lei care, che quando sbaglia cerca di rimediare e anche perché nei miei modi sembro un po lei; Seeing how Katniss is going to get out of one scrape after another is exciting and the three books are compelling enough reading that I finished the whole thing in about nine days. (And by "about nine days," I probably really just mean ten days.) As demonstrated in the above, the writing's not fantastic by any stretch. Collins suffers from a typical need to over-dramatize, to the point where irrational things are treated sensibly. But (!) it's still a league-and-a-half better than Twilight, not that there isn't much that isn't better written than Meyer's delicious collection of vampire doggerel. I only compare them because they both occupy that meta-genre of light, compulsive reads that others may better know as Summer Reading. And yet, here we are in December! Regardless, I was several nights up far past my bedtime letting Collins plot have its way with me. Sperling, Nicole (April 4, 2011).

Los tres se tratan de lo mismo en diferentes etapas, de un mundo distópico, es decir que intentó ser utópico (ideal) y les salió el tiro por la culata. Es una sociedad del futuro, situada en los restos apocalípticos de Estados Unidos, donde vive un capitolio millonario, que se mantiene gracias a 12 distritos, que cultivan su comida y al final les hacen todo. Para mantenerlos controlados, las autoridades del capitolio cada año hacen una cosa llamada “juegos del hambre”, donde eligen a dos jóvenes de cada distrito y los encierran en un bosque hasta que quede el último. En otras palabras, los obligan a convertirse en asesinos – o en desertores – en pos de sobrevivir, con el único fin de sembrar el pánico y así recordarles “quién manda”. By hijinks, I mean Peeta and Katniss meet their fellow tributes, train for a couple of weeks, and are thrust into an arena to brutally, unapologetically murder each other. But enough with the lighthearted aspects of the Hunger Games trilogy. Katniss and Peeta outsmart the Capitol by threatening to ingest deadly berries, and they both escape from the arena alive. The Capitol, a bunch of insane control freaks, isn’t thrilled with what went down. So naturally, the following year they force Katniss and Peeta to compete again, this time with former victors of the games. When they also find loopholes in THOSE games, things go haywire faster than they will once general audiences read my jab at the Twilight series. Katniss goes from being the pawn of a much bigger game to a symbol of freedom and strength… and that’s only in the first installment.

As a result, I read the books with these things in mind. I can say I understand why people would say those things, but I also take issue with why people would say those things.

The deus ex machina strikes mercilessly again and again at the already frail realism; the harrowing times when the characters are forced to wait it out in grueling circumstances don't harrow much at all - instead, they are shrugged off with an almost bored "and so the hours and days went by"; injuries always seem to either have an on-off switch or conveniently benefit from "coincidental" recovery periods (which are skipped just as easily with the same forced fast-forwarding); with only a few exceptions, the author seems to get scared and cringe away when reaching violent scenes. All of this finally contributes to the feeling that you're reading a medical treaty written by a butcher with good intentions.
