A character I found interesting is Gale Hawthorne. I Found him interesting because he is very caring for his family and Katniss’s. He is a round character, I can tell because he is a character that affects the plot greatly. Gale is a leader, for example “Gale’s wrists are bound to a wooden post. The wild turkey he shot earlier hangs above him, the nail driven through its neck” (184). He was trying to collect food for his family.

The Authors website includes all of their books. It also includes some of their personal life. Collins has a picture of each her books as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Collins currently lives in the current time period. She wrote in a future time period. I believe what influenced her writing would be the current struggles we are facing. For example Global warming, Riots, Shootings, as well as the ecosystem declining. In Catching Fire she basically wrote what would happen if we keep treating our planet terribly. Most people in this era are eager to get their hands on the latest and greatest piece of technology. Some people are willing to do anything to get to that as well as to get to the top. She combined greed and the need for technology in her book as well.

The characters I find the most interesting would be Beetee and Wiress. They are very smart and inventive. “They could tell by sight that a force field had been put up between us and the game makers” (page 230).

The main themes of my novel would be survival and loyalty. The author illustrates survival throughout the entire book. People in the districts are constantly fighting for survival. Katniss is very loyal to her family, friends, and district. The author illustrates loyalty through her. James Dashner the author of The Maze Runner also has the theme of survival and loyalty.

It would not let me gain access to the fry chart.
I personally think the novel is interesting. The author used a bunch of plot twists. The author surprised me each time I read a chapter. The novel ending surprised me in the end I thought she was going to die or peta was going to die. I definitely recommend this novel to others. I would say this novel was a good read, it was interesting and it kept you on your toes.
