Figurative Language in Catching FireAuthor Suzanne Collins uses figurative language in her novel Catching Fire. Figurative language is writing or speech that is not meant to be taken literally. These figures of speech include similes, metaphors, personification, and hyperbole. They add interest and color and make the language more exciting and interesting.

simile: A comparison of two things (that may or not be alike) using the words like or as. She is as quick as a fox.

metaphor: A comparison of two unlike things without using like or as. The sun was a furnace.

personification: A type of metaphor in which non-human things or ideas possess human qualities or actions. The wind whistled throughout the night.

hyperbole: An obvious and deliberate exaggeration (to emphasize something or for humorous purposes). I ate a million pieces of cake today.

Read the examples of figurative language below. For each one:

Identify whether it is an example of: ! A. simile " B. metaphor "C. personification " D. hyperbole Underline the words that identify it as such. (For simile and metaphor, underline the two things being compared. For personification underline the non-human thing and its human quality or action. For hyperbole, underline the word or words which identify the exaggeration.)

Example: D (p. 8) But it wasnt enough to keep a family of five without Hazelle working her fingers ! to the bone on that washboard. D - hyperbole; working her fingers to the " bone is a deliberate exaggeration.

______ 1. (p. 13) My nose immediately wrinkles in disgust.

______ 2. (p. 14) Haymitch is still dead to the world.

______ 3. (p. 15) I watch as Peeta crosses to the table, the sunlight from the window picking ! ! up the glint of fresh snow in his blond hair.

______ 4. (p. 15) The audience will be expecting the pair of lovebirds who won the Hunger ! ! Games. (Two different answers possible.)

______ 5. (p. 18) Its jarring to see him surrounded by the ordinary objects in the room. Like ! ! taking the lid off a pot and finding a fanged viper instead of stew.

______ 6. (p. 21) Whatever problems anyone may have with the Capitol, believe me when I ! ! say that if it released its grip on the districts for even a short time, the entire ! ! system would collapse.

Figurative Language in Catching Fire, continued

______ 7. (p. 23) Peeta. How is the love of your life?

______ 8. (p. 30) Outside the window, a car comes to life, soft and quiet like the purr of a cat, ! ! then fades away into the distance. (Two possible answers.)

______ 9. (p. 30) I didnt even know I was crushing it, but I guess I had to hold on to ! ! something while my world veered out of control.

______ 10. (p. 33) Those days were a special treat.

Chapter 25 Supplement

Symbolism of PearlsEmphasis has been added to some of the passages; also, note the asterisk in the

second source, and definition (added) of transmutation.

1. Pearls symbolize Purity, Spiritual Transformation, Charity, Honesty, Wisdom and Integrity, all the best within us. Pearls provide a clear vehicle for the advancing states of wisdom, as well as a clean channel for receipt of spiritual guidance. Pearls can stimulate your femininity and help with self acceptance. They lift your spirits and make you feel calm and beautiful. They remind us to walk with Dignity." (http://www.sobrietystones.com/resources/GemBook/Stones/meanings_gemstones_pearls.htm)

2. The pearl is a lunar symbol, also representing water and woman. These primary meanings are seen on a universal scale, throughout mythology. They are attributes of angelic perfection, which is only achieved by transmutation*, and not freely given. Pearls are rare, pure and precious, flawless and white despite being dredged from the mud, coming from a clumsy shell. (http://www.serapii-kisu.net/essence/symbolism/pearls.php)

*transmutation, as stated in the above reference, means the action of changing or the state of being changed into another form

3. Since ancient times, the pearl has been a symbol of unblemished perfection. It is the oldest known gem, and for centuries it was considered the most valuable. A fragment of the oldest known pearl jewelry, found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess who died in 520 BC, is displayed in the Louvre in Paris. To the ancients, pearls were a symbol of the moon and had magical powers...The Latin word for pearl literally means "unique", attesting to the fact that no two pearls are identical. (http://www.pearloasis.com/pearlhistory.html)

4. Pearls are formed inside the shell of certain mollusks: as a defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside its shell, or an attack from outside, injuring the mantle tissue. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation...The commonly held belief that a grain of sand acts as the irritant is in fact rarely the case. Typical stimuli include organic material, parasites, or even damage that displaces mantle tissue to another part of the animal's body...The mollusk, being irritated by the intruder, forms a pearl sac of external mantle tissue cells and secretes the calcium carbonate and conchiolin to cover the irritant. This secretion process is repeated many times, thus producing a pearl. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearls)

Discuss the bolded fields, in particular. How does this information about pearls relate to Katniss and Peeta?

Look up the Greek name for pearl. Does this girls name have a shortened nickname or form? What is the significance of her character, do you think?

PART III & FINALREVIEW FOR TESTCATCHING FIRE



WHO SAID IT? Quotation ReviewRead the following quotations from the novel. Can you figure out who said or thought these quotes?

PART I QUOTES1. I realize the answer to who I am lies in that handful of of poisonous fruit.2. Its happening! Its finally happening! If theres an uprising in District Eight, why not here? Why not everywhere? This could be it, the thing weve been--3. My advisors were concerned youd be difficult, but youre not planning on being difficult at all, are you?4. It must be very fragile, if a handful of berries can bring it down.5. Brrr. You two have a lot of warming up to do before showtime.6. Thank you for your children. And thank you all for the bread.7. It can in no way replace your losses, but as a token of our thanks wed like for each of the tributes families from District Eleven to receive one month of our winnings every year for the duration of our lives.8. Arenas arent built in a day. But the, shall we say, flavor of the Games is being determined now. Believe it or not, Ive got a strategy meeting tonight.9. But mockingjays were never a weapon. Theyre just songbirds. Right?10. Shouldnt you look better? Maybe a ribbon in your hair or something? ...Show a little district pride for a change, Miss Everdeen. Hm?11. But youve got to go through it to get to the end of it. Better not be late.12. I couldnt shake you awake. Look, if you wanted to be babied, you should have asked Peeta.13. ...you aspire to design your outfit and be like me, your fashion hero.14. Really, youd think we were all criminals.

PART II QUOTES15. Im not going anywhere. Im going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble.16. Looks like theyve got you a matched set this year.17. Yes, I think your days of pink lipstick and ribbons are behind you.18. ...everything will just get more complicated and I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite.19. Ah, there she is. All tuckered out. Finally did the math, did you, sweetheart?20. You could live a hundred lifetimes and not deserve him, you know.21. The point is that two of us are coming home from the Capitol. One mentor and one victor.22. Itd be better if he were easier to hate.23. Want a sugar cube? Theyre supposed to be for the horses, but who cares? Theyve got years to eat sugar, whereas you and I...24. This is dreadful. That sort of thinking...its forbidden, Peeta.25. I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you.26. I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever.27. Remember, girl on fire, Im still betting on you.28. You just remember who the enemy is.29. We think people moved underground when everything on the surface was destroyed. We think theyve managed to survive. And we think the Capitol leaves them alone because, before the Dark Days, District Thirteens principal industry was nuclear development.30. On the seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors.31. I told you exactly...The east entrance...The slag heap next to the east entrance.32. Fine. Somebody else can arrange to get the stupid goat knocked up.



WHO SAID IT? Quotation Review, continued...

PART III QUOTES33. If you die, and I live, theres no life for me at all back in District Twelve. Youre my whole life. I would never be happy again.34. "Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven't looked pretty?"35. "So it's you and a syringe against the Capitol? See, this is why no one lets you make the plans."36. Tick, tock.37. Yeah, that was really stupid of me, wasnt it? I guess I must have been distracted by keeping your little friends alive. While you were...what, again? Getting Mags killed off?38. I dont care if you are knocked up, Ill rip your throat out.39. Oh, shes more than smart. Shes intuitive. She can sense things before anyone else. Like a canary in one of our coal mines.40. ...whatever happened in the past is in the past. And no one in this arena was a victor by chance. Except maybe Peeta.41. I have only one real friend in here. And he isnt from District 4.42. The people in this arena werent crowned for their compassion.43. The locket didnt work, did it?44. I have always known who the enemy is. Who starves and tortures and kills us in the arena. Who will soon kill everyone I love.45. If they really killed her like this, theyd probably have an uprising on their hands...Dont want that, do they? Whole country in rebellion? Wouldnt want anything like that!46. Hey, Haymitch, if youre not too drunk, we could use a little something for our skin.47. Katniss, there is no District Twelve.
