It attempts to investigate whether socioeconomic factors play a role in Katniss’s character development. To address this question, Marxism was adopted as the theoretical framework to analyze Katniss’s character development. The results of the research indicate that the development of Katniss Everdeen as a character is a product of the socioeconomic power struggle within the society, both coming from the socioeconomic classes and the two presidents in Panem.

    Teaching Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games from an Ethical Perspective Göteborg University Dept of Languages and Literature/English Julia Ström, 870728 C-level paper, 15 hec Interdisciplinary Degree Project Teacher Education Programme LP01 Supervisors: Fereshteh Zangenehpour Ronald Paul Grade: Date/Signature: 2 Abstract Title: Teaching Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games from an Ethical Perspective Author: Julia Ström Supervisors: Fereshteh Zangenehpour and Ronald Paul Language: English Term/Year: Autumn of 2012 Institution: Department of Languages and Literature, English Key Words: Ethics, The Hunger Games, Reading, Literature, Dystopian novel. Summary: Ethics is something that is difficult to work with in school in an approachable manner. The claim of this study is that the novel The Hunger Games can serve as help when teaching ethics. There are no guidelines in the National Curriculum as of how to approach ethics yet it states the importance of the subject for students. Reading literature is something that can help make any matter approachable. It allows students to reflect over everyday dilemmas and to challenge their thoughts. The essay discusses reading literature in school and its pedagogical reasons. Further the essay discusses ethics from different points of view and how the ethical dilemmas in The Hunger Games can make ethics relatable for students. The final part of the essay consists of a classroom project where students through different tasks and exercises get a chance to discuss everyday ethics and the ethical dilemmas of The Hunger Games. This Dystopian novel shows a world where teenagers are forced to participate in a reality TV-show where the only goal is to stay alive by killing all other contestants.

Disney.com/Terabithia BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA PRODUCTION NOTES “Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.” PRODUCTION NOTES —Leslie Deep in the woods, far beyond the road, across a stream, lies a secret world only two people on Earth know about—a world brimming with fantastical creatures, glittering palaces and magical forests. This is Terabithia, where two young friends will discover how to rule their own kingdom, fight the forces of darkness and change their lives forever through the power of the imagination. From Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the producers of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and based on one of the most beloved novels of all time, comes an adventurous and moving tale that explores the wonders of friendship, family and fantasy: BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. The story begins with Jess Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON), a young outsider on a quest to become the fastest kid in his school. But when the new girl in town, Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA ROBB), leaves Jess and everyone else in her dust, Jess’s frustration with her ultimately leads to them becoming fast friends. At first, it seems Jess and Leslie couldn’t be more different—she’s rich, he’s poor, she’s from the city, he’s from the country—but when Leslie begins to open up the world of imagination to Jess, they find they have something amazing to share: the kingdom of Terabithia, a realm of giants, ogres and other enchanted beings that can only be accessed by boldly swinging across a stream in the woods on a strand of rope.

This material, in whole or part, may not be copied for resale. ISBN 978-1-935468-75-2 Item No. 308803 The Hunger Games TEACHING UNIT The Hunger Games Notes Suzanne Collins began her career writing for children’s television, working on several programs throughout the 1990s for such production companies as Nickelodeon, PBS, and the WB Television Network. During this time, she met the children’s book author and illustrator, James Proimos, who encouraged her to try writing children’s books. Inspired, Collins began writing her first book for young adults, a fantasy novel titled Gregor the Overlander, which was published by Scholastic in 2003. That book became the first of a bestselling five-part series calledThe Underland Chronicles, the final volume of which was published in 2007. Following the success of The Underland Chronicles, Collins began writing The Hunger Games, the first in what would soon become a popular trilogy involving the fiery sixteen-year-old protagonist, Katniss Everdeen. Set in a bleak, post-apocalyptic future, the novel tells the story of Katniss’s strug- gle to survive the Hunger Games, a gladiator-style reality show that pits twenty-four teenage boys and girls against each other in a battle to the death. Combining elements of science fiction, romance, reality television, and Greek and Roman mythology, Collins creates a suspenseful, fast-paced story of survival under the most adverse conditions, expertly weaving in such universal motifs as: love and friendship, loyalty and betrayal, oppression and rebellion, honor, and sacrifice.
