What is a rebellion?

In Catching Fire

rebellion- an effort made by many people to change the government or leader of a country by the use of protest or violence

rebel- a person who refuses allegiance to, resists, or rises in arms against the government or ruler of his or her country.

In Catching Fire, Panem's government is a totalitarian. One of the many themes in this book is rebellion against government control. Katniss is constantly breaking the rules and defying what is told of her. She is a role model to those who watched her in the hunger games to not accept what is told of you and stand up for what you believe in. Catching Fire is a perfect example of what a great rebellion is supposed to be like and it was a very good book.

  • Need for independence

They fight for what they believe in.

They fight for their loved ones.

They fight for a change that they believe needs to happen.
