Conflict Resolution Piece



Author's Note: This writing piece is a conflict/resolution piece about the story The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

 Katniss and Peeta are very brave when it comes to the Hunger Games. Fighting until death is not an easy task. When Katniss takes her sister's spot in the Hunger Games her life changes forever. Peeta and Katniss are from a very poor district. District twelve.  The only District 12 victory that has ever come out of the Hunger Games alive was Haymitch. There are also important people that are apart of this story, like the game makers for example. They control everything that goes on in the Hunger Games. One thing that they did was when the games got boring they added fire bombs that tried to kill Katniss. I believe that the game makers made this a conflict, because this was repeated many times by the head game maker.  The main conflict in the book the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the fact that the game makers and the capital thought that they could control the tributes.

First, during the Hunger Games the job of the game makers was to make it not easy for the tributes and for them not to be ever be at rest.  For insistent if someone hasn't died in a few days then the game makers will make a obstacle, such as throwing fire bombs at the tributes for days.  These fire bombs ruined many of the tributes camps.  The capitol thought that to have more viewers  and to get more money they would have to have more  tributes fighting so it would be more interesting.  Also the people that are watching the games in the districts want more action so the capitol tries to either kill or bring together the tributes to fight.         

While the game makers made it hard for the tributes they do this because they think they can control the tributes.  The game makers think that they have the tributes at their finger tips.  This is the conflict in the Hunger Games , the capitol thinks that they can control the tributes.  Katniss knows this so she tries to do her best and fight through the obstacles the game makers throw at her.  Because Katniss plays with their minds, she can get through anything that throw at her.  The game makers try to make it really hard for her, but she defeats them and fights until the end.    

Although the games were difficult Katniss and Peeta to get out they did.  They fell in love so that they can get out of the games alive. This helps them, because then they both came out alive.  This made the game makers and the capitol a little mad because they are in district 12 which means they have the worst tributes for the games.  So it was a big surprise when both tributes came out of the games alive.  If Haymitch was not helping them, and using the money form their sponsors to give them the things they needed it would have been very hard for them to make it out alive.  For example Haymitch gave Katniss burn medicine which was a good thing because it would have been very hard for here to gain back her strength without the medicine.       

The game makers made it very hard for the tributes to get out alive Katniss and Peeta did.  They surprised everyone, and told them they even though we are from district 12 we still can win.  District 12 is the last district which means they are the lowest is winning the games and the least amount of supplies.  Katniss and Peeta proved everyone wrong in the end.
