Main points of: Debt, Gift, and Sacrifice in the Hunger Games

Some of the main points of the article include:

One theme predominates in the book and that is self-sacrifice.

When Katniss self-sacrifices for those she loves she has a more difficult time accepting a self-sacrifice act on the part of another person.

The only real moral progress she makes in the three books is a willingness to accept the sacrifice of others as a gift and not as a debt. (In the first book Katniss befriends Rue, kills her murderer and puts flower around Rue's body. Later Thresh, the other tribute from District 11, has the chance to kill Katniss but doesn't, settling the 'debt' he owes her for how Katniss treated Rue.)

Things can be interpreted as a Christian theme in the idea of 'greater love hath no man than this; that he lays down his life for his friends.'
