The theme 'starvation' is represnted in the Hunger Games in the form of Katniss's mother slowly, slowly slipping away after Katniss's father's death in a mine explosion. Katniss's family is desperate, and it's only when Peeta Mellark throws Katniss burned bread from the bakery that they begin to slowly grow full. Katniss hunted, gathered roots and berries and things from the woods, and fished. Eventually, Prim got a goat and sold cheese. If Peeta had not thrown Katniss the bread, they would have starved to death. Therefore, the theme 'starvation' is a highly represented theme in the Hunger Games novel by Suzanne Collins, which is now a bestselling movie!

Is survival a theme in The Hunger Games?

Could be. The book tells of how Katniss survived after her father was killed in the mines. How she survived and helped her family to survive. Also the Hunger Games it self is about survival, the last person alive being the victor. Survival is a main theme in The Hunger Games.


What does the theme shift from in The Hunger Games?

The book is set in the future when North America is set into 12 districts. Each year the capitol picks one boy and one girl from each district to compete in The Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live tv, where only one survior comes out. Katniss's sister is picked to compete, but Katniss volunteers to take her place, therefore Katniss has to compete in the games. (In my personal opinion The Hunger Games is one of the best books I've ever read. I would definatly suggest this book.)

How is the theme trust represented or revealed in the hunger games?

Trust is a theme in The Hunger Games, because Katniss is always questioning who is actually on her side throughout the entire series. For example, if you kiss the wrong person, you might end up stabbed or shot. If you have read the books, you should know that she only questions people's trust in the arena and when District 13 and The Capitol are at war.
