The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a novel in a series of three other book which entices the reader into a ‘deep literacy’, where the reader is engaged and locked into an imaginary world known as district 12. Collins (2011) uses the whole first chapter for the orientation/exposition, where the compelling scenes are set and the characters are introduced.

Field of the text compels a griping and twisted overpowering government whom have total control over its people. Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist, steps forward to take her sisters place within the Hunger Games where twelve boys and twelve girls are forced into the games to fight to the death. The underlying theme within the book entails the notion of family being the central theme. As Katniss’s provides for her family by hunting food and looks out for her little sister.

The tenor within the book uses different vocabulary for different districts to show differences of status and power. The lower the district means the characters are more upper-class and Collins(2008) depicts these characters to speak with posh language to show the separation within the lower and upper-class districts.

Suzanne Collins kidnaps the readers inner world to keep them gripping on and yearning for more with a series of complications. The complications, some bigger than others, all lead to a climax which results in life or death. Collins (2011) sets the reader on an imaginative rollercoaster best for ages twelve and above.
