Suzanne Collins wrote The Hunger Games in present tense.
A metaphor in The Hunger Games is when Katniss says "The woods became our savior"(Page 51), this means that the woods provided food for her family because she could hunt and saved them from starving. Another is when Katniss is called "The girl on fire"(Page 109) because she sparked the districts in thinking of rebellion. A simile is when the Capitol people always say "Happy Hunger Games and May the Odds be ever in your Favor!"(Page 19), they treat the games like it is a actual game, they enjoy watching the tributes die and place bets on who will win.
My favorite passage in The Hunger Games is when Peeta is talking to Katniss the day before they go in the games. "I don't know how to say it exactly. Only ... I want to die as myself. Does that make any sense? I don't want them to change me in there. Turn me into something that I'm not.", he is saying that he doesn't want to kill anybody, he wants to die as himself, not a murderer
