The Hunger Games

Style and Technique

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is written in the dystopian genre with elements of adventure literature. The narrative style is dynamic and tense, emphasizing the atmosphere of constant danger and the struggle for survival. The language of the book is simple and accessible, making it appealing to a wide audience, including teenagers. Collins uses a first-person perspective, allowing a deeper immersion into the thoughts and feelings of the main character, Katniss Everdeen. Literary devices include flashbacks, which help reveal the backstory of the characters and the world, as well as symbolism, such as the use of the mockingjay as a symbol of resistance. The story structure is linear, with a clear division into three parts, each corresponding to the stages of the Hunger Games: preparation, the Games themselves, and the aftermath. This helps maintain a high narrative pace and keep the reader's attention.
