Author's Note: We had to write a theme essay. I had to think a little bit before I got my topics and that is love can change anybody and it takes place in the book the Hunger Games.
In many stories love can change a character's behavior. In the Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins has a very special way of showing that love. The love connection that Gale and Katniss was more like a brother sister love, but it changes Katniss while she was in District 12. Katniss did everything with Gale until the reaping that’s when everything between Katniss and Gale changed.
When Katniss volunteered for Prim, Katniss did know what was going to happen with her relationship with Gale; when she moved to the Hunger Games. It changed Katniss going to the Hunger Games especially with Gale not being right by her side. Having to make new friends was hard for her; when she isn’t the person to be social with others. As she grew closer with Peeta. (which was the guy that got picked for the other tribute in district 12) They started to have a connection with each other.
Once Katniss knew that she had a solid relationship with Peeta, she taught her Hunger Games experience would change with having that relation with Peeta. Throughout the Hunger Games Katniss’s love for Peeta changed Peeta and Katniss but also Gale. After the Hunger Games had finished Peeta thought that this love would last but Katniss told Peeta that everything will go back to normal once we get back. So what is Katniss trying to say? Is she in love with both Peeta and Gale?
How many books can you find that have a story plot like this? If you love to read romance books you will be able to find this with any book. I found a connection with the romance like Katniss and Peeta. The book is called Forgotten, Cat Patrick. It talks about love in a similar way that Suzanne Collins does. In the book Forgotten a girl like Katniss goes through decisions that will change her life forever. Cat Patrick really does a good job taking Suzanne Collins idea of romance and put it into her own way. In both books it’s so neat to see that both of the main character learn to trust people unlike the beginning of both books; both characters didn’t trust people.Until they meet the ones that will love them for who they are.
Books like the Hunger Games and Forgotten has an incredible romance plot line to it. It’s amazing to see how a character can change just because love came into their lives. Throughout the Hunger Games, Katniss has two of these love experiences but one really changes her. That’s her love with Peeta during the Hunger Games. Love can change anybody as long as you are open to them.
