What are some metaphors in The Hunger Games?

Answer 1

There are quite a few metaphors in the series The Hunger Games. A few of them are below.

• A metaphor in the Hunger Games is at the beginning of the book, when Katniss says "The woods became our saviour". This means that the woods provide food for Katniss and Gale's (her friend) family. It saved them from dying of starvation.

• Katniss is the mockingjay- literally she isn't a bird, but she is the thing that survived despite the Capitols intentions, like a mockinjay.

• Katniss, the Girl on Fire- She is the spark that set the districts alight with the idea of rebellion and the courage to change. She's never actually on fire... except for that bit where she gets hit with a fire ball in the Games... but other than that, it's a metaphor

Answer 2

Calling the mutated animals "Muttations" seems to be rather figurative language, also the slaves who have their tongues cut out are called "Avox" and the police are referred to as "Peacekeepers".

Answer 3

(E.G)

-Katniss is the mocking jay.

-Katniss, the girl on fire.

Answer 4

District 12 being destroyed symbolizes that a piece of "katniss" (or Suzanne) is leaving because of the evil done from "the capitol" or some evil force or being in Suzanne's life.

Answer 5

There's lots throughout all three books

Answer 6

Glad to say, too much to name.
