Describe at least one way that a character or individual changed in the text. Explain how this change was important to the text as a whole.
Katniss Everdeen
- emotionally & physically stronger
- more powerful and popular, everyone knows who she is now
Beginning: caring for her sister, shy, quiet, intimidating, strength at hunting/archery, shows caring and selfless when she volunteers in place of Prim, values family
Middle: when she enters the games-determined, cautious-runs away and hides immediately, smart, doesn't kill until absolutely necessary, still caring in protecting and supporting rue, watches people die-her reactions are big, forms an alliance with Peeta to make them a favourite, more cunning-no longer oblivious to the influence of the capitol
End: angry, powerful-has power over the capitol because she was going to end the games with no victor, intimidating
Theme Link:
Hope & Rebellion - starts by following the Capitols rules but by the end she stops and rebels against them
Rich vs Poor - not a good choice
Propaganda - she goes against the propaganda of the capitol, they are fighting for glory, the capitol is superior, the games are a good thing
Struggle For Power - in the games she was powerless, eventually she gains the power through rebellion.
Thesis Statement:
In Gary Ross's film, the Hunger Games, one way that Katniss changed was by gaining power and influence in the capitol,This is shown through her struggles with the themes of hope and rebellion.
Paragraph 1 - describe her at the beginning in detail - clothes, make up, family, values, characteristics, sentence linking to them - has no hope at the start
Paragraph 2 - describe change at middle in detail, link to theme
