Blog#3- what spacific themes did the author empahasize throughout the novel?

There are multiple themes for the novel the Hunger games. I think the main theme that the author wanted to emphasize is generally about the many things that go wrong in society. For example war, starvation, poverty, unequal distribution, and violence. These are issues that have affected us and our world for a long time. I think the author, Suzanne Collins, goal was to get the reader thinking and trying to relate these issues to their own lives. She may have even been trying to show us that one person can make a very strong impact on the world today and that we are not to give up without a fight. J  The author shows this theme in many ways. For instance, war and violence is shown throughout the hunger games when all of the tributes are in a battle to the death. Starvation is shown throughout the districts, as well as poverty in the lower districts. Lastly, unequal distribution is shown in all of Panem. This range begins at the Capital and makes its way down the districts, 1 through 12.
