Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is the second novel to the bestselling book The Hunger Games. In this story, the main character, Katniss tells the story in which she has to go back in to the Games to once again fight. In Catching Fire, there was a celebration for the anniversary of the Hunger Games. In this event, all of the previous winners from the games were once again chosen at random to go back in to the games. Not to her surprise, Katniss was chosen again because she was the only girl winner of the games from her district. Also, their mentor Haymitch was chosen to go into the games, but instead, Peeta, the other winner from the previous games stepped in for him.
The other book that Suzanne Collins wrote and that I have read is the Hunger Games. This one compares because it is exactly the same story. It is just a follow up book that relates it exactly the same. The Hunger Games tells the same story as Catching Fire and it has mainly the same themes. Suzanne Collins expresses her ideas throughout the book and she has the most similar writing styles. I think that both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are well written novels.
The author's intended audience is mainly for the kids ages , I would say 12-18. I mainly think that this was the audience that she intended for because those are the ages in which kids and teenagers like to be entertained. The best way for them to be entertained is to tell a story with a lot of action.
The author's writing style seems to be that of a women who likes to be independent because the main character Katniss expresses all of these ideas. Throughout the Hunger Games and now in Catching Fire, Katniss shows that she is a strong girl who is not afraid to fight. This some what reveals the writing style of the author Suzanne Collins because it is some times true that the author's novel seem to be based off of their own lives and their own personal experiences.
