Theme ﻿Return to Home Page ﻿ The main themes in the Hunger games include; trust, and there is always a way. Trust plays a big part in this book. Especially in the arena, the characters have to know who to trust at what time, and when it is time to cut off the trusting relationship. It was really hard for Katniss to be able to trust Rue, knowing that they can't stay friends forever. She also did not know she could trust Peeta until he helped her escape in the arena, to a safer place. There is always a way. Katniss and Peeta just don't see it all ahead of them, nor should they. Sometimes you just have to wait and do your best until a solution becomes clear enough for you to grasp it in your mind. Even if it is not the way Katniss would have wanted it, she was able to not worry about Rue being in danger, or having to fight with her in the end, because she was safe in Heaven's arms, away from the cruelty that surrounded her in the arena.

Rylee C: The theme of "The Declaration" I guess is that mother nature is doing things right. That people are not meant to live forever. They are meant to get born, live life the best they can, then DIE. All people deserve a chance to live life the way they want to. No human being is "surplus". The people who invented the "Longevity Drugs", the pills that enable one to have everlasting life, think and try to persuade everyone that humans are superior and living forever is a great achievement of mankind. But the novel illustrates that everyone has their time, and when their time is up, to die and let the next generation live on.
