Informal outline: Hunger Games
C-144
Working thesis: Hunger Games heroine Katniss Everdeen evolves from a character unable to connect meaningfully with others to one who leads and relies on others, and it is this change that brings about a successful revolution over the Capitol.
- Disconnecting people from one another is part of a government plan to maintain rule.
- Katniss remains emotionally disconnected from her own mother after her father’s death.
- Relationships with Rue and Johanna are milestones in Katniss’s emotional development.
- The Mockingjay movement succeeds not because of Katniss’s charisma but because of her ability to stir feelings of hope and connection in the Districts.
