The author of The Hunger Games is Suzanne Collins. She lives in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. The reason she wrote this book was to write a story based on the myth of Theseus and the Monotaur. The theme of The Hunger Games is survival. A better theme would be doing something completely out of you way to help the people you love. “Katniss, the girl who was on fire!” and “ I volunteer as tribute…” are two sentences from the story that supports the two themes I chose. I enjoyed the book because it showed how much Katniss cared for her sister, family, and society when she volunteered as tribute. She did it so her younger sister did not have to participate in The Hunger Games. I liked that Peeta and Katniss ended up being ‘smarter’ than the gamekeepers
