The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is about bravery and survival. Katniss Everdeen must make sacrifices to provide for and protect her family. Katniss and Peeta Mellark must enter the
Hunger Games, a fight to the death where there can only be one winner. Is Peeta’s declaration of love a ploy to trick or help Katniss? Will Katniss use Peeta or fall for him? “My little sister, Prim, curled up on her side, cocooned in my mother’s body, their cheeks pressed together. In sleep, my mother looks younger, still worn but not so beaten-down. Prim’s face is as fresh as a raindrop, as lovely as the primrose for which she was named. My mother was very beautiful
once, too. Or so they tell me.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 3 “Sometimes, when I clean a kill, I feed Buttercup the entrails. He has stopped hissing at me. ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 4 “But there’s food if you know how to find it. My father knew and he taught me some before he was blown to bits in a mine explosion. There was nothing even to bury. I was eleven then. Five
years later, I still wake up screaming for him to run.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 5 “District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 6 “So I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 6 “She must have really loved him to leave her home for the Seam. I try to remember that when all I
can see is the woman who sat by, blank and unreachable, while her children turned to skin and bones. I try to forgive her for my father’s sake. But to be honest, I’m not the forgiving type.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 8 “You can tell by the way the girls whisper about him when he walks by in school that they want him. It makes me jealous but not for the reason people would think. Good hunting partners are hard to find.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page
10 “The rules of the Hunger Games are simple. In punishment for the uprising, each of the twelve districts must provide one girl and one boy, called tributes, to participate. The twenty-four tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena that could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland. Over a period of several weeks, the competitors must fight to the death. The last tribute standing wins.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 18 “Taking the kids from our
districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch – this is the Capitol’s way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy. How little chance we would stand of surviving another rebellion. Whatever words they use, the real message is clear. “Look how we take your children and sacrifice them and there’s nothing you can do. If you lift a finger, we will destroy every last one of you. Just as we did in District Thirteen” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Pages 18, 19 “Happy
Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 19 “She reaches in, digs her hand deep into the ball, and pulls out a slip of paper. The crowd draws in a collective breath, and then you can hear a pin drop, and I’m feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it’s not me, that it’s not me, that it’s not me. Effie Trinket crosses back to the podium, smoothes the slip of paper, and reads out the name in a clear voice. And it’s
not me. It’s Primrose Everdeen.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 20 “One slip. One slip in thousands. The odds had been entirely in her favor. But it hadn’t mattered.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 21 “I volunteer!” I gasp. “I volunteer as tribute!” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 22 “I don’t want to cry. Everyone will make note of my tears and I’ll be marked as an easy target. A weakling. I will give no one that
satisfaction.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 23 “So instead of acknowledging applause, I stand there unmoving while they take part in the boldest form of dissent they can manage. Silence. Which says we do not agree. We do not condone. All of this is wrong.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 24 “Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don’t expect it because I don’t think of District 12 as a place that cares about me. But a shift has occurred since
I stepped up to take Prim’s place, and now it seems I have become someone precious. At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and holds it out to me. It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 24 “She zips back to the podium, and I don’t
even have time to wish for Gale’s safety when she’s reading the name. “Peeta Mellark.” Peeta Mellark! Oh, no, I think. Not him. Because I recognize this name, although I have never spoken directly to its owner. Peeta Mellark. No, the odds are not in my favor today.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 25 “To this day, I can never shake the connection between this boy, Peeta Mellark, and the bread that gave me hope, and the dandelion that reminded me that I was
not doomed.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 32 “I feel like I owe him something, and I hate owing people. Maybe if I had thanked him at some point, I’d be feeling less conflicted now. I thought about it a couple of times, but the opportunity never seemed to present itself. And now it never will. Because we’re going to be thrown into an arena to fight to the death. Exactly how am I supposed to work in a thank-you in there? Somehow it just won’t seem sincere if I’m trying to
slit his throat.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 32 “The mayor finishes the dreary Treaty of Treason and motions for Peeta and me to shake hands. His are as solid and warm as those loaves of bread. Peeta looks me right in the eye and gives my hand what I think is meant to be a reassuring squeeze. Maybe it’s just a nervous spasm. ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Pages 32, 33 “I’ll never know what it was he wanted me to remember.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 40 “Kind people have a way of working their way inside me and rooting there.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 49 “I noticed the plants growing around me. Tall with leaves like arrowheads. Blossoms with three white petals. I knelt
down in the water, my fingers digging into the soft mud, and I pulled up handfuls of the roots. Small, bluish tubers that don’t look like much but boiled or baked are as good as any potato. “Katniss,” I said aloud. It’s the plant I was named for. And I heard my father’s voice joking, “As long as you can find yourself, you’ll never starve.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 52 “And some small gnarled place inside me hated her for her weakness, for her neglect, for the months
she had put us through. I had taken a step back from my mother, put up a wall to protect myself from needing her, and nothing was ever the same between us again.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 53 “I notice her blouse has pulled out of her skirt in the back again and force myself to stay calm. “Tuck your tail in, little duck,” I say, smoothing the blouse back in place. Prim giggles and give me a small “Quack.” “Quack yourself,” I say with a light laugh. The kind
only Prim can draw out of me.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 53 “If I’m going to cry, now is the time. By morning, I’ll be able to wash all the damage done by the tears from my face. But no tears come. I’m too tired or too numb to cry. The only thing I feel is a desire to be somewhere else. So I let the train rock me into oblivion.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 54 “One time, my mother told me that I always eat like I’ll never see food again. And I said, “I won’t unless I bring it home.” That shut her up.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Pages 55, 56 “Here’s some advice. Stay alive.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 56 “What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by? What do they do all day, these people in the Capitol, besides decorating their bodies and waiting around for a new shipment of tributes to rill in and die for their entertainment?” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 65 “Not exactly. You see, Portia and I think that the coal miner thing’s very overdone. No one will remember you in that. And we both see it has our job to make District 12 tributes unforgettable,’ says Cinna. ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Pages 66, 67 “Katniss, the girl who was on fire!” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 67 “With all that alcohol in him, it’s probably not advisable to have him around an open flame,’ I say.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 68 “Remember, heads high. Smiles. They’re going to love you!” Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 69 “No one will forget me. Not my look, not my name. Katniss. The girl who was on fire.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 70 “I look down at our linked fingers as I loosen my grasp, but he regains his grip on me. “No, don’t let go of me,” he says.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 71 “I’m sure they didn’t notice anything but you. You should wear flames more often,” he says. “They suit you.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 72 “And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 72 “The more likable he is, the more deadly he is.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 72 “But because two can play at this game, I stand on tiptoe and kiss his cheek. Right on his bruise. ” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 72 “Barbarism? That’s ironic coming from a woman helping to prepare us for slaughter. And what’s she basing our success on? Our table manners?” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 74 “But don’t worry; as I’ve been saying – and this has been very clever of me, I’m sure you’ll agree – if you put enough pressure on coal, it’ll turn to pearls!” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 74 “Just the perfect touch of
rebellion,” says Haymitch “Very nice.” ~Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, Page 79
