Survival is a Key 

Envision yourself taken away from your family and placed inside a huge wilderness. You and 23 other contestants will fight until only one person remains, and they will be crowned victor of the Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins Catching Fire is one exhilarating book that deals with survival and family.

During the whole book of Catching Fire survival was a key exceptionally in the Hunger Games. In the Hunger Games Katniss did a lot of survival techniques, and some of these techniques I saw during the TV show Man vs. Wild. At one point of Catching Fire Katniss needed some food so she set up snares she made from the jungle just like Bear Grills did on Man vs. Wild. Collins Really showed the readers in this book how effective survival techniques can be if you know how to use them.

While survival was huge part of the book, don’t forget about family. Throughout the whole book Katniss was always Loyal and nice to her family. She also looked out for her sister and mom and fed them. I can relate to Katniss because I look out for my three sisters and I’m loyal to my family. Katniss wasn’t always nice to her family, like when Katniss found out she had to go back to the Hunger games she got really mad and yelled at her mom but later apologized. The good thing about having a loving family is that their always there for you when your sad, for example when Katniss thought her sister Prim was dead she started crying but her mom calmed her down and told her she was alive.

Throughout the whole book Collins used survival and family in very good spots of the book. With that being Collins truly seceded in telling her readers what survival and family can do for you, and from those themes she created an excellent novel.
