Text Relationship


There are many things throughout the book Catching Fire that can be relatable to you the reader, to another text, and to the world itself. A text to text connection that can be related to Catching Fire is the book Divergent. I say this because in the same concept of this book, a young girl named Tris must undergo vigorous trials and hardships to stay alive because of here being a divergent. This means that if the people in charge hear about this they will probably kill her, just like the capital is trying to kill Katniss but trying to make it look like an accident. A text-to-self connection that I have with the book is how she feels about some of the choices that she has to make. Manley the choices she has to make are ones she regrets or doesn’t want to but has to, but I bet that everyone can relate to this. The book also deals with text-to-world, and the way it does that is that life just isn’t fare to people. Some live better than others and or worst then others. Like how Katniss is going through the hunger games again and in real life people die from lots of stuff like war, famine, disease, and natural disasters. It’s all just who draws the shortest straw will be the unlucky one in the situation.
