Hunger Games
The Hunger Games is a book about the future of North America. In this book, North America is called Panem and it is divided into districts. The games are a tribute to the country and children are forced to fight against each other and victor is the last person standing in the fight. We chose a ticket to introduce the games and it’s setting to the viewers and to create an interest. This is a “gold class ticket” we have created for the Hunger Games. The ticket details the events and it has the map of the arena. The ticket makes the viewers realize that the game could go on indefinitely. We further chose quotes to show the significant aspects of the games. These quotes from Chapter 15 tells us a lot about Katniss, the main character of the story and her interaction with her friends, Reeta and Gale. Asuka and I also created imaginary IM tweets of how the players would communicate with each other in the games. This we thought would take the games closer to the readers and make them understand the characters in a short span of time. The tweets between Katniss and Rue provide glimpses of events occurring in the story and how they made an alliance. They talk about supplies they both had to survive the games. In doing this project we were able to appreciate the book more and I felt how hard it is to create a story. I hope these visual items that we have taken pains to create with vivid colours, different textures, images and text fonts will make you read the book too!
