I do not know what Suzanne Collins meant to convey in her book. Personally I sometimes feel that people miss many of the strong themes in the Hunger Games. Inequality, suffering, destruction. The Hunger Games is more than the love triangle most people portray it to be. The Hunger Games is a satire that appeals more to the current generation that more classical works.
Yes love is a strong theme in this book, I will not deny it. Family love and romantic love alike. It is nice to think of a strong girl like Katniss overcoming all odds. It is one of the reasons I was drawn to the series. This is a short story of an unnamed tribute. He will not be remembered as a hero. In fact his family may be the only ones who mourn him. Maybe you could take a few minutes to think about that side of the story as well? This book has so many dimensions and characters. I hope this encourages someone to look from a perspective beyond Katniss, Prim, Peeta and Gale for a moment.
I am not the best writer, I know. This may be a bit dull I don't know. I just hope I get a point across. Whatever you take from it is up to you. It might be something about the book or something about how you wasted your time. Either way it is the first thing I actually completed on here, so I'm happy with it.
This is for every unnamed tribute in the games and for every person who feels as though they cannot be as heroic or brave as Katniss. Remember that within every person is something unique and special. Something that makes them good and heroic in their own right. Something worth celebrating, loving and cherishing.
Someone who is amazing.
