"Thank You For Your Consideration"

The 2012 movie, The Hunger Games stars a young girl who is picked to take part in a fight to the death event that occurs every year. This movie reflects the ideology of Romanticism because it shows the freedom from tradition and a connection to nature. The main character, Katniss shows how she defiance to religion and how she is connected to nature.

In the beginning of the movie, there is a scene of Katniss hunting the woods outside of her town. Her skills with archery and hunting shows her connection to nature because hunting requires a lot of knowledge about nature and how certain animals behave. In another scene, Katniss is required to show her skills to the leaders of the hunger games and she chooses her archery skill. Her first attempt at hitting the target fails because the bow she uses is a lot different to the bow she normally hunts with. This causes the leaders to laugh at her, she attempts a second time and hits the target perfectly. The leaders didn’t even bother looking at her because of her first attempt, this causes Katniss to take the bow and aim at an apple that is in the viewing booth. When she hits it, it startles the leaders and she says, “Thank you for your consideration.” This shows her defiance in the normal behavior of the tributes. Normally the other tributes would just show their skill, but Katniss isn’t like the others.
