Literature Analysis #3

"The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins

1. This book is about 12 Districts who once a year battle it out in a dome. Each districts selects a boy and a girl and the max age is 18, but the older you are the more times your name is put into the drawing. The main girl is Katniss and the main boy is Peeta. They are both from district 12 and Peeta gets drawn first. Then Katniss' little sister gets drawn but she volunteers in for her spot. Before the battle they portray this fake love for each other even though Peeta actually likes Katniss. They train and take advice from their mentor Haymitch and then go into battle. Some people die and Katniss gets sad when a little girl dies because she reminded her of her sister. Then the rules change and and say that if the two people from the same district are the one left then the both win. So it comes down to them two last and they win right? No after that the rules change back to normal and they are about to commit suicide together but they stop them and they both survive. After it's all done then Katniss has to continue to fake her love towards Peeta.
2. I think the theme of the novel is to never stop even when you think it is all over. Because in the book I'm sure Katniss and Peeta wanted to give up and just die but they never did. The kept on going even when they thought it was over and they ended up winning.
3. Suzanne uses and suspenseful tone when the names are being pulled out of the raffle. She uses a thrilling tone when the battle starts and not just the beginning of the battle but throughout the whole thing. And she also uses a informative tone when Katniss and Peeta are being mentored by Haymitch.
4. She uses a lot of emphasis on certain things when conversations are going on and that allows the reader to perfectly understand what and how the characters are thinking and saying. She is also very descriptive about things like when she is describing the terrain in which the battle is going to take place.  She is also very easy to understand like the things she portrays like the fake love between Katniss and Peeta was easy to understand and that makes the book fun and interesting to read because the book isn't confusing at all.

1. She uses direct characterization when she is describing the way that Katniss looks and the way that Peeta looks. She uses indirect characterization when she writes the conversations between Peeta and Katniss because just buy the way that they talk to each other you can really find out more stuff about them.
2. Yes her syntax and diction changes in the book. When she is writing conversations between Peeta and Katniss it differs a lot from when Katniss is talking to Haymitch. When she is talking to Haymitch she is kind of more serious and mad at him.
3. The protagonist is definitely dynamic in the book because in the beginning she is not really a warrior per say but by then end of the book she is a fierce woman who is really willing to do anything to survive.  
4. After reading the book I really felt like I could really connect with Peeta and Katniss. When they were going through what they were going through I really felt as if I was right next to them going through it as well. Suzanne did a really good job writing this book and the reason why I love it so much is because she made it easy for the reader to connect with the characters so easily.
