Literature Analysis

1. In Catching Fire, by Suzanna Collins two people make it back from the hunger games for the first time. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are the first two victors in the history of the hunger games to come out both alive. When Katniss and Peeta go on their victor tour, Katniss notices that there is an uprising in district 8. Katniss decides not to tell anyone but she accidentally tells Gale. Katniss plans to run away and asks Gale but he says no. She also asks Peeta and he is willing too, but they never end up running away. After a couple of weeks the 75^th Quarter Quell announcement is made, which is strange because it wasn’t reaping time yet. The past victors of the hunger games will have to participate once again in the games. During the games several tributes form an alliance and plan to rebel from the capitol.

2. Themes:

-Fight for what is right: Katniss and Peeta rebel against the capital because they are tired of how they treat them.

-Survival: Everyone does anything to protect each other and survive.

3. Tone:

The authors tone in the story is very dramatic and serious. The mood makes the story get intense throughout the book. For example the narrator says “My muscles are clenched tight against the cold”. This indicates that the narrator is very tense. During the hunger games it gets really intense because you want to know what will happen next or what while happen to Katniss or Peeta. It gets serious when they are discussing about who will go to the hunger games because it is a very difficult situation.
