I have to admit, I can't find very many similarities between this book and others, or this book and me. "Catching Fire" is so original that it has few similarities with other books and the story is so dark I don't have many personal connections but there is one major connection to the real world.
"All i can think of is the emaciated bodies of the childeren on our kitchen table as my mother prescribes what the parents can't give. More food. Now that we're rich, she'll send some home with them. But often in the old days, there was nothing to give and the child was past savineing, anyway. and here in the Capitol there vomiting for the pleasure of filling there bellies again and again. Not from some illness of bodiy or mind, not from spoiled food. It's what everyone does at a party. Expected. Part of the fun."
This is one section of the book that reminds me of the second world war. The Nazis are like the people from the Capitol and the people from the districts are like the Jews. The Capitol people use trains to transport the distric's people, and when one person steps out of line there are killed or tortured or sometimes both. These are two examles of why it's alot like the horrors the Jews went through.
