Catching fire theme

The theme of my book Catching Fire is bravery! I know this is a broad theme. But it fits The whole hunger games trilogy very well. In the first book bravery is a theme because Katniss and Peeta were ready to stand up against the Capitol. They were ready to die for eachother to show the Capitol up. In the book I'm reading now, catching fire bravery is a theme because Katniss had to watch Gale be beaten by the peace keepers. Also when they were on the victory tour and one of the districts were revolting they had to be brave and continue on the tour. I will probably find a better theme as I get closer to the end of the book but for right now I think Bravery is a good theme for where I am at in the book.

Catching Fire Society

In Catching Fire the society has a big affect on the actions of the characters. I consider all the districts part of society but I consider The capitol it's own society because they are all rich and look completely different then those in the 12 districts. But both the capitol's society and the district's society play a big role on the main characters. On the victory tour many districts revoulting. This was due to the previous Hunger Games and how they think the Capitol treats them unfair. Since some districts revolted Katniss and Peeta had to be very careful about what they do and what they say. Also when the leader of the Capitol comes to Katniss' house and tells her exactly what she has to do and say. If she doesn't do exactly what he tells her to do then Gail will be killed. These are examples of society affecting indivuals.
