Katniss and President Snow’s conflict.
Katniss and Peeta’s star crossed lovers conflict.
The conflict between Haymitch, Peeta, and Katniss.
The conflict between the competitors in the hunger games.
The conflict between the districts and the capitol.
I loved how Katniss struggled over loving Peeta
because she knew she would probably die in the hunger
games. I liked how the book was filled with action but
also filled with complex conflicts and storyline. The only
thing I don’t like about this book is that it had to end.
The story is written from a first person point of view.
Katniss is the omnipotent narrator in this story. In this
story we know all about Katniss’ thoughts and why she
is thinking them. Though the story is limited somewhat
because we do not know how the other characters feel
or think.
The author of uses foreshadowing in several cases, but
all the cases are too important to the end to reveal. She
also uses a few bits of irony throughout the story as
well.
I recommend this book to anyone who has read Hunger
Games and wants to read on in this series of love,
action, deceit, and rebellion.
