MY LIKES AND DISLIKES

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.

POINT OF VIEW

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.

LITERARY DEVICES

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.

RECOMMENDATION

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.
