In Hunger Games, Katniss used a bow and arrow to intimidate the gamemakers to pay attention to her, when it was her turn to be evaluated and she was being ignored. â€Å"Without thinking, I pull an arrow from my quiver and send it straight at the gamemak ers table. I hear shouts of alarm as people stumble back† (Collins 101). When Ralph killed that boy in the forest, he was using the spear for protection because he feared for his life (Golding 221). A moment when Katniss had to use a weapon for protection and not to hunt was when she killed the district one male tribute. This was because he killed Rue with a spear just moments before (Collins 233). Katniss’s weapons in the arena and in District 12 were to keep herself and others alive. Without those weapons Katniss and others would have faced starvation and then death. Jack hunted to feed the boys, but mostly to satisfy his own bloodlust. Later on in both the novel and movie of Lord of the Flies, many of the other boys followed in fulfilling their own impulse of bloodlust and savagery with Jack, but as a result Simon and Piggy faced death.
