Authors note: This piece is about the main conflict and resolution in The Hunger Games. I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of conflict and resolution.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a great book. Every year the Capitol holds the annual Hunger games, where one boy and one girl from each district must fight to the death. A total of 24 people, as a punishment to the districts. When Katniss Everdeen's little sister Prim gets picked, she imeadiatly volunteers to take her place. So the Hunger Games begin.
This book is a person vs. society type of conflict. Katniss has to survive the Hunger games, in which the game masters seem to be singling her out. She feels she has to play by the rules so she can get home to Prim. Katniss thinks that win or lose, they are still going to hold the annual Hunger games. Her mind is set on this until the rules change saying that a boy and a girl may win together as long as they originated from the same district. Katniss teams up with Peeta and together they finish off the last of the tributes. Another announcement is made that the previous rule change is undone, only one tribute can remain. They can't stand going home with out each other, so they decided to die at the same time. The game makers change the rules again, and they both survive.
I like you conflict/resolution. I like how you clearly say what the conflict is. You thing you can say, if you want, is "the conflict is solved when...", but that's just me.
