The use of sentence fragments is generally discouraged in good English writing because they lack one or more essential components of a sentence, namely a subject and/or a predicate, and thus are grammatically unacceptable. However in fiction writing, the use of sentence fragments is not only quite common in dialogue, but in narration as well. The present study analyses sentence fragments in the narration of the first novel of the young-adult science-fiction trilogy The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins, to investigate the types of fragments employed in the novel and their classification based on syntactic structure in the form of dependent-clause fragments and phrase fragments. The sentence fragments were further analysed for their use based on the context of their preceding sentences. The use of sentence fragments in the novel basically serves the function of creating emphasis or stressing important points in the story.

The Hunger Games

Artikkeli käsittelee postapokalyptisen nuorten fiktion lainalaisuuksia K. K. Alongin romaanissa Kevätuhrit (2016). Teos on avausosa samannimiseen kirjasarjaan, jonka toinen osa Ansassa ilmestyi vuonna 2017. Alongin romaani kuvaa postapokalyptistä maailmaa, jossa suuri osa ihmisistä on menehtynyt. Teoksen nuoret keskushenkilöt pyrkivät selviytymään vaarallisissa miljöissä, joissa suuri osa jälkeenjääneestä populaatiosta on muuttunut epäinhimillisiksi ja aggressiiviksi tappajiksi. Romaanissa on nähtävissä perinteisen kehitysromaanin (Bildungsroman) ja postapokalyptisen fiktion genrelogiikkaa, joka vertautuu suosittuihin aikalaisteoksiin kuten Suzanne Collinsin Nälkäpeli-trilogiaan (The Hunger Games, 2008‒2010) tai Emmi Itärannan Teemestarin kirjaan (2012). Artikkeli esittää, että huolimatta postapokalyptisen fiktion lainalaisuuksien seuraamisesta Alongin romaani ei ole vain nuorille suunnattu kertomus dystooppisen postapokalyptisen maailman keskellä selviytymisestä, vaan se sisältää kertomuksen tasolla utooppisen toiveen uuden harmonisen ja voimauttavan maailman rakentamisesta tuhoutuneen maailman sijalle.
