Fire is often used as symbol of reform and transformation; in the hunger games, a reform of the oppresive government - in Hard Times, a reform of the eduction system to a new creativity and thought focused form of education. Katniss, a symbol of the revolution to take place within her world, wears a dress during the "prelims" of the games that is covered in flames. Not only do the games transform Katniss into a symbol of hope to oppressed districts, they create a leader in Katniss, who, in later books, leads a revolution against the Capital. In both Hard Times and the Hunger Games, Fire is used as a symbol of change- by destroying the old to make room for the new.
