The Hunger Games - Film Study - English - Symbols

The film I am studying is 'The Hunger Games' ,The topic of my paragraph at the moment is symbols and how 'The Hunger Games' presents them throughout the movie to create an understanding of the viewers to the movie.

The topic of the movie and what Gary Ross tries to pass on to his viewer is that when Katniss Everdeen volunteers for tribute in Primrose Everdeen's place she does it out of care for her sister. As a viewer, When Katniss volunteered , that to me was a symbol of love and care from Katniss to Primrose because she is able to risk life physically in order for Primrose to live. The Mockingjay pin is another symbol that plays an increasing part in the movie, The Mockingjay represents hope so that when Katniss wears it nothing bad is supposed to happen to her. Another chapter of the movie where the Mockingjay takes part of is when Katniss and Rue try and think of a way of communication, So the Mocking jays repeat after them.














'Girl on Fire'
Symbol that represents Katniss Everdeen is "Girl on Fire" was first shown in the Tribute Parade when The Capitol were showing all the tribute representatives from all 12 districts. Katniss and Peeta were the last so when they were in view of the audience it was thrilling the audience when the fire ignited. It didn't burn them either. As well as when they held their hands and raised them, that was a symbol that they will try to win 'The Hunger Games' together.













What am I learning?
Symbols, and how they play an effective part in each movie and in life.

How does this show my learning?
I didn't use all of the symbols, but I used the ones that were obvious, and played a part in each characters life as a character.
