Trap or Obstacle
The element that is often used in the Hunger Games and Catching Fire is trap or obstacle. As you read these books you will encounter a major obstacle that the main character Kaitness and others have to be apart of, and these are the Hunger Games. This is a life or death obstacle that was the main plot around the Hunger Games. Entering the arena knowing that you will have a 1 in 24 chance to live must be something hard to wrap your head around. Although Kaitness overcame that obstacle with Peeta as well.Was winning the Hunger Games a good thing though? Of course staying alive is great and getting to see your family again and showing them how much you appreciate them is a lovely thing but were they being put into a trap at the same time? In winning the Hunger Games, Kaitness and Peeta were put into a trap as many see. Since altering the games rules they have been put into a position were they have no choice about their life. They must be in love with each other for the rest of their life and do exactly as the capitol tells them. Not many people living today would like being told what to do everyday of your life, I know I wouldn't. As I continue to read this book I am excited to see what is to come.
"He means there's only one future, if I want to keep those I love alive and stay alive myself I'll have to marry peeta." ( Collins 44 ) This quote shows that there is only way for Kaitness to stay alive and that is to follow the demands of capitol. Her love for Peeta was only an act to help her win the Hunger Games but as she has done so she now she must obey by the rules.
