Similarities Between The Hunger Games And Anthem

Ayn Rand and Plato in the novella, Anthem, and excerpt from ‘’Allegory of the Cave’’, respectively, convey that knowledge empowers those that seek it, Equality 7-2521, Rand’s protagonist, and Socrates’ enlightenment must abandon their societies’ ignorance to attain the wisdom to free them. Rand and Plato support their claims by portraying the theme of knowledge and the symbol of the light to represent the liberation, rights, and individualism of their society and where darkness should not be allowed to collect collectivism . The authors’ purposes are to prove that the individual’s actions lead to enlightenment and a change to a society in order to have their own freedom. Rand and

The practices of a collective society such as the one in this book disregard all belief in the individual. By doing this, the society and its leaders brainwash the people into having no personal priority or authority. Everything is done with the betterment of the entire group in mind, no sense of self involvement. Their life is fated in almost every

The book The Hunger Games, portrays a society where people are treated unfairly based on factors that they cannot control. The people are born into one of 13 districts. There lives vary drastically based on where they are born. Someone born in the Capitol has a completely different life than someone born in district 12. A person born in the Capitol lives a wealthy life and is always treated with respect. On the other hand someone born in district 12 has a life of constant back breaking work. They live in poverty and struggle to survive.

In the stories, Anthem, by Ayn Rand, and By the Waters of Babylon, by Stephen Vincent

The Hunger Games and Anthem by Ayn Rand and the similarity and comparison. In both relating in propaganda used to control citizen, of how the government and the society in a way of how they treat the people in the society. Having restriction and no free will and having to follow rules. In the characters are the one of showing how they could change the society, but the reasons are being watched and obeying rules.

     As one reads Ayn Rand’s significant quotes from the story of anthem, there is always a main theme that is trying to escape, just as Prometheus escaped in her story. All three of the listed quotes work as a trio to sing that We; as society, works to defeat individuality. The quotes emphasize that we cannot survive without individualism and being alone brings out our unique personalities. It is true that all the quotes work as one, but at the same time they have their own individualism. Each quote holds a purpose of its own and the author wants to express the quote to each persons understanding.

Our society has almost become a perfect society.Being controlled and depressed. Anthem and the Giver are similar by none of them know their children. I feel like our society now is controlled. Anthem has a Dystopian person whose 7-2521. The Giver also has one, he's Jonas. The Giver has different things than Anthem.They both don't know what everyone looks like, or they don't have mirror. In the Giver, you can't talk to a girl if you're a guy. Same goes when you're a girl. They also share a similar trate as they may not see their parents when they're young. Also in both of the stories the children are sent to a certain place away from their parents.

Before any logical argument regarding the contrasting of two works can begin, a foundation must be established that in some way

Young adults love Dystopian stories and movies. There are two books that I chose to compare and contrast. One of those stories is Anthem by Ayn Rand. A man named Equality lives in a society where there is no individuality, no freedom, and the government controls where you go and what you do. Another book similar to this is a book written by Cassandra Clare called The Mortal Instruments. A boy named Jace is a Shadow Hunter and goes against the Laws of the Council while he falls for a mortal girl. The Council controls what the Shadowhunters do, where they go, and the Shadowhunters aren't allowed to miss any meeting without a reason. Although they have those common characteristics, they do have their differences.

In a not-too-distant, some 74 years, into the future the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 13 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games; these children are referred to as tributes (Collins, 2008). The Games are meant to be viewed as entertainment, but every citizen knows their purpose, as brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts. The televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eradicate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. The main character

In the idealistic society, the ability to reason does not exist. Neither do decisions, ideas, or opinions. If given the opportunity to think for one’s self and make decisions, one may abuse that privilege and use it to harm the community by going against a leader’s ruling. Restrictions over these areas are created by rulers in an effort to produce the perfect civilization. A ruler’s control over influential thoughts produces devotion in the idealistic society.

Imagine if you lived in a place were everyday you had to fight to survive. This is exactly what the characters in The Game and in The Hunger Games had to do. In the science fiction book The Game written by Monica Hughes, which was about 10 people who were invited to a game, to see if they would be able to survive on a different environment. In the movie based on a book The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins, was about twenty four people who had to participate in a life or death situation and only one could survive. Both of the authors help you understand tenacity, innovation, creativity.

After reading The Hunger Games, I immediately found myself analysing the deeper meaning behind the text whilst extracting the key themes and applying them to modern day society. The main themes that I drew from the text are how controlling governments put boundaries on our individual ability to succeed and the extent to which people go to survive under this style of leadership. The Hunger Games is a science-fiction novel, written by Suzanne Collins. It is written from the first person perspective which is of 16 year old Katniss Everdeen who lives in the dystopian, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem. The Capitol is the name of the official government which exercises complete economic and political dominance over Panem.

These two compare to each other because in both ways they were being judged unfairly due to other people being close minded not understanding the situation.

It’s two in the morning and your phone starts ringing. The rings seem to get louder and louder with every breath you take. Once your courage has formed and the phone has been answered, your heart suddenly stops. The news of your loved one’s death is almost too unbearable; breathing seems unnecessary now. Sadly, this is the type of horrific news that many families must hear when their loved one sacrifices their life for their country. Recently, there has been much controversy regarding national anthem protesting in the National Football League and other sports organizations. The protests have been formed to shed light on the ongoing issue of racism and injustices within the United States of America. Although these protests give attention to an important issue, they make the grieving of loved ones and those who have fought for our freedom that much worse. Protesting our country’s national anthem is not an appropriate way to give a call to action about recent prejudices in the country because it is disrespectful to those who have fought and those who have loved ones fighting to protect our freedoms every day.
