Have you ever been taken away from your family and friends and had to survive on your own agaisnt 24 other people who  are trying to kill you? If you have you might know how a young girl named Katniss Everdeen feels when she has to volunteer for the Hunger Games. Some of the main themes  in the Hunger Games are love, survival and trust.

First of all Love is very easy to find right from the beginning in the Hunger Games. After about 24 pages or so it really stands out and this is how, Katniss’s little sister is chosen to be in the Hunger Games and she is just 12 years old. Katniss is watching in the crowd as her sister goes up to the stage. Katniss knows her sister will die if she goes into the games so Katniss runs up to the stage and decides to take her sisters place in the Hunger Games. This is the first act real love in the story, Katniss cared to much about her sister to let her be in that position. The second act of real love is in the actual Hunger Games. Two people from every district are chosen to go to the Games. The other person that was chosen to go with her is Peeta Mellark. When Katniss hears his name out of the speakers she whispers to herself “Oh No, not Peeta” “page 23”.

 Another theme in the Hunger Games is survival. This is really important because, the real Hunger Games are all about being able to survive. The Hunger Games are just for the enjoyment of the people. The Hunger Games is about a 2 or 3-month reality show.kindve like survivor but, not really. In survivor when they just send you home when you mess up, in the Hunger Games you will be killed if you mess up.Katniss has to survive weeks in the forest with no food or water but that’s not the worst part, there will be other people out to kill her. To survive the game Katniss will have to kill someone sooner or later. Right before the Hunger Games start Katniss and Peeta tell each other “good luck” (on page 124) Then the games begin!

 Finally The third theme is trust. You have to be able to trust someone else in the games to survive because there is power in numbers. One of the people Katniss decides to trust is Peeta, but then she soon thinks that that was a dumb idea Katniss’s exact words where“how could I trust him he had a act” (on page 177).Katniss trusted no one she didn’t know who to trust.This can relate to the real world because it’s hard to know who to always trust.

 In conclusion even if you have never seen the movie or book this paper should help because now that you know the main theme's in the Hunger Games are love, survival and trust.You will be able to understand the book and the movie a lot better.
