Style
The style of Suzanne Collin's The Hunger Games is a lot simpler than that of the books we have read previously. She writes her text very straight forward and easy to read. The way she writes intrigues you and pulls you in. It makes you wonder what happens next and you want to keep reading. Her writing style is very relatable. She introduces the main characters very early on in the book. She gives us a clear description of their motives and role in the book. This gives us an exact image of the character without having to wonder about them. I have also noticed that in her writing, Collins includes a lot of flashbacks. On page 43, she has a memory of her father and birds. As she is pulled away from her family and put into training, she has more flashbacks. These memories comfort her and give her motivation to win the games.
