Techniques:

What techniques does the author use to develop setting, characters, and plot?

  1. Suzanne Collins uses a lot of direct descriptions to help the reader visualize the setting and characters of the story. Because of the fact that the world is told through the first person view of Katniss, places and people are described directly in her thoughts, just as we would describe them in our own minds in reality. This makes it easy to picture the world in which the story takes place. Characters are directly characterized by Katniss, whose descriptions include both information about their physical traits and their personalities, as seen through Katniss's eyes.

  2. I think Suzanne Collins really puts he picture in my mind of a really rainy, shady, pretty unhappy place.

  3. Suzanne Collins does a very good job of using both direct and indirect characterization. She uses figurative language and details to give readers a better image of the story. Suzanne also tells us exactly what Katniss is feeling, which sets the current mood of the book.
