One significant element in the book "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins is Katniss Everdeen. She is a huge significant element to the book because you follow her through her journey, before, during and after the Hunger Games. All the emotions she goes through, all of her emotional battles, conflicts complications etc. She has a big part in the plot line to. For the most part she is the key to the plotline, she is the one who provokes all the conflicts, drama and complications. Being as she is the main character, some books are like this. In other books its often secondary characters or the villains that provoke the conflicts. I am unable to find a quotation from the book that will present how she is so significant in the story line. Read the books and you'll understand what I mean.
Another significant element in the book is the mocking jay. In the first book the mocking jay pin was given to Katniss as a gift from Madge just before Katniss was sent into the Hunger Games. Katniss survives the Hunger Games along with her partner Peeta. The mocking jay becomes a very big symbol in "Catching Fire". Not only in bird form but as a sign of trust. The mocking jay leads to clues and hope. It reveals to Katniss who to trust, who her supporters are. It gives her hope that the Capitol may be able to be brought down, possibly easier then how things are beginning to look. The more she looks around, the more mocking jays she sees as a fashion statement but if she looks closer she finds those special mocking jays that only she can see.
"It means we're on your side," says a tremulous voice behind me. (Collins, 139)
This post makes me want to read the Hunger Games even more! I'd just suggest maybe either a different font or a different background just because it was sort of difficult to read. But other than that, great job! It's a very good post!
ReplyDeleteI like the way your phrased your paragrpahs, it helps me form a better understanding of the book better. Good job Connie!
