There are many interesting concepts within the series, each lying within its own realm, yet connected by one medium: The Hunger Games. Whether it is the politics of the Capitol, behind closed doors or open to the public, strategy employed by each Tribute (especially with the Careers) in the arena, even the interpretations of every subtle move made by the Girl on Fire herself, Collins spares no expense as she delves into connecting many different fields. To discover these is to look into the mind of the one who created this masterwork, and to bring even more value to literary works that have already shaped the world of literature.

Since finding the name of the course on Archway, and reading the books myself after discovering a close friend was attending the SIS, I found myself quite attached to the Hunger Games series. I feel that the books (not forgetting the movies) provide one hell of a thrill to the reader, constantly engaging their senses with the thrill of the hunt, combined with the danger of being hunted. Collins illustrates each scene so precisely and adeptly that I feel as if I am either in the Games arena, or looking through the eyes of Katniss herself.
