1 8th In The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins highlights the use of various author's craft moves such suspense, symbolism and surprise proving that Katniss can be successful in her battle against the government. 1

2 8th must contain author's craft move Suspense is an author's craft move that is important throughout The Hunger Games so that the reader becomes more emotionally involved as well as getting the reader to predict how Katniss will handle her struggles against the Capitol. In The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins highlights the use of various author's craft moves such suspense, symbolism and surprise proving that Katniss can be successful in her battle against the government. 2

3 8th While some might argue that suspense is embedded within the novel in order to support the theme, they forget that in the text it states in multiple locations that Katniss faces many struggles in her fight against the Capitol, therefore making these suspenseful moments more about a reader's predictions. 3

4 For instance, suspense is used in the text when the author states, "Sixty seconds. That's how long we're required to stand on our metal circles before the sound of a gong releases us. Step off before the minutes is up, and land mines blow your legs off" (Collins 148). 4

5 One theory is that Collins uses suspense because it is important to get the reader predicting what will happen as Katniss enters the games. 5

6 This illustrate suspense because the reader wonders what will happen to Katniss after the 60 second time limit dissappears and she is forced to make a decision between getting supplies from the cornucopia or running towards the woods to avoid the bloodbath. 6

7 must contain a transition + author's craft move Another example of suspense is depicted in the novel as the author states, " There has been a rule change in the Games " (Collins 244). 7

8 Thesis: In The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins highlights the use of various author's craft moves such suspense, symbolism and surprise proving that Katniss can be successful in her battle against the government. Suspense is an author's craft move that is important throughout The Hunger Games so that the reader begins to predict how Katniss will handle her struggles against the Capitol and to encourage the reader to get emotionally involved with her journey. For instance, suspense is used in the text when the author states, "Sixty seconds. That's how long we're required to stand on our metal circles before the sound of a gong releases us. Step off before the minutes is up, and land mines blow your legs off" (Collins 148). One theory is that the suspense in this scene encourages the reader to predict what will happen as Katniss enters the games. For example, the reader may wonder what will happen to Katniss after the 60 second time limit disappears and she is forced to make a decision between getting supplies from the cornucopia or running towards the woods to avoid the bloodbath. While some might argue that suspense is embedded within the novel in order to support the theme, they forget that in the text it states in multiple locations that Katniss faces many struggles in her fight against the Capitol, therefore making these suspenseful moments more about a reader's predictions. Another example of suspense is depicted in the novel as the author states, " There has been a rule change in the Games " (Collins 244).This is significant because suspense is used to stir empathy for Katniss and readers will begin to understand her struggles as she makes life and death decisions within the games. 8
