What is a Theme?
• To figure out what the story REALLY is about.
Theme is the moral of the story. It’s what we
learn form what the characters do, how they
act, and what the outcome of their actions
are. Some really common themes are;
• Friendship, Love, Struggles, Resilience,
Adventure/ Mystery, etc.
Possible Themes…

•
•
•
•
1. Adventure/ Mystery/ Risks
2. Love/Friendship
3. Battle For Survival
4. Hunger & Starvation
5. Resilience
6. Resourceful
Risks…
• 1} Katniss stepping in front of Prim on the
stage- Prim got picked to be in the hunger
games but Katniss didn’t allow it.
• 2} Katniss applying to be a tribute for the
game.
• 3} Hornets Nest- Katniss trying to get rid of it
in the tree so she could get away.
• 4} Katniss tried to destroy The Careers
supplies.
Continued….
• 5} Berries- Katniss + Peeta tried to eat them
to kill her self.
Love/Friendship…
• 1} On pg. 9 in the book, I find that Gale, is giving
the readers a little hint that he has something for
Katniss. He says, “ We could do it you know,” Gale
says quietly. What? Katniss asks. “Leave the
district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I, we
could make it,” says Gale. Katniss gets confused
and doesn’t know what exactly to say.
• 2} Peeta joined The Careers but still saved Katniss
fighting.
Love/Relationship - Continued…….
3} Katniss’ sister Prim and her Mother- Leaving
both of them when really Katniss is the
provider of the house.
4} Gale + Katniss- Friendship or different
relationship?
5} The Game makers- Training For Game…
Struggles
• 1} THE GAME!!!!!!!!!
• 2} When Katniss battles for the spot to
become the winner and how she fights to live
while she is in the hunger games with all of
these other components from all of the other
districts.
• 3} The battle between The Careers with Peeta
also joined with them..
Resilience/ Resourceful
My opinions:
1} Katniss, will hold out her resistance and
show others who she really is and will never
give up, and to keep her head up high
2} Not having any problems fighting Peeta
with the Careers even though they have a past
with friendship.
Continued….
• 3. The fight for food, shelter, water, {etc}.
• 4. Getting supplies from the people outside of
the game…{people from the districts}
Wondering if they are rooting for you or going
against you?
Continued…
5} To be smart with her choices and
surroundings in the forests.
6} Specific Examples:
Fighting to be alive: 1. Fighting the Careers.
2. Taking Rue in to be on Katniss’s side to share
their supplies: food, water, etc.
3. Volunteering to participate in the games.
THE END!!!!!
