Making Their Own Rules

I recently read The Hunger Games and thought it was a perfect example of  conflict and resolution. The Hunger Games is about a 16 year old girl named Katniss who lives in the future in a country called Panem. Katniss gets picked by the government of Panem to go into an arena a fight to the death with 23 other boys and girls: This event is called the Hunger Games. Only one victor will come out of the arena alive, all the rest  must die, and all this is being recorded and shown on television all across their nation.The main problem is that she is fighting the government to win the Games so that she can go home with her family again.

The resolution in this book is very interesting. Katniss ends up falling in love with a boy in her district once she enters the game. When they end up being the last two standing they don't know what to do, they don't want to kill eachother because they are in love. So Katniss and Peeta ( her lover) put poisonous berries in their mouths at the same time and the nation announces that they are both victors. She defys the capitol by changing the rules to the game. The Hungers Game sis a perfect example of Person vs. Society.
