The school of difficult feelings. „The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins in the Polish language lesson

Summary/Abstract: In the article the author analyzes and interprets fragments of the first two chapters of the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. She shows how to create the initial characterization of the book’s heroine, Katniss Everdeen, basing on selected fragments. In the following part of the article, the heroine’s feelings are analyzed, especially those she experienced during the harvest festivities, when she volunteered for the Hunger Games, thus replacing her younger sister. Careful reading of these fragments of the text makes it possible to name the emotions of the heroine and to have a closer look at how the description of internal experiences looks like. At the end, the author asks a few questions about both emotions and human morality. These questions may be put after reading the text at school, and may be discussed with students.
