The Hunger Games, is written by Suzanne Collins. The central ruling city, named the capitol, holds the hunger games. Every year, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are just a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains. To my surprise, Katniss volunteered for the Hunger Games to replaces her sister. She moves forward with faith, and finally wins both love and the Hunger Games. By the way, Katniss and Peeta are the tributes from District 12. Finally, they survived to the end and return home. In my opinion, the Hunger Games is written mainly against domination.

From the growth of Katniss, I deeply impressed that she became a representative and aspirant, for the Hunger Game is not only a game itself as a show, but also the game between the Capitol and other 12 districts. This is a game about domination and revolution. In the Hunger Games, there are many moving scenes. While Peeta joins the tributes from the richer districts. However, when he has the opportunity to kill Katniss, he instead saves her from the others. But Rue is killed by another tribute, whom Katniss then kills, Katniss sings to Rue until she dies, which encourages the watching people to chase for freedom and be against domination. Besides this, I also learn something about hope from the story. Katniss moves all the way forward with hope. She tells Peeta in the arena,“If we win, we will each get a house in the part of town reserved for Hunger Games’ victors”. She does not give up but does everything she can to increase the possibility of survival. As young adults, we should also have faith in our future. Ups and downs as we may face, none of them is challenging enough compared with the death threat Katniss encounters. Katniss never lost hope.
