Compare And Contrast Anthem And The Hunger Games

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

Ayn Rand in the novel Anthem and Plato in the “Allegory of the Cave” assert that Equality 7-2521 and the prisoners lived in a dystopian society where they were prohibited from knowledge. Rand and Plato support their assertion by describing how both of them had knowledge on what they were allowed to know. The people who lived in Equality's society were like prisoners of the cave since knowledge was kept from them too. Rand and Plato's purposes are to inform the reader how having more knowledge gives a person individuality and differentiates him from others. Rand and Plato write in an informative tone for the people who live in a dystopian and utopian society in order to inform how everyone should have knowledge of how the real world is.

There are many reasons for books to be banned in countries. The books 1984 and Anthem is both banned in countries for being a dystopian novel. These books have a lot of similarities, but the thing that separates them is that their differences. They differ by three simple questions, the first question is what the main character fears. The second question is why does the government fear change? The third and final question is what is going to happen to the peoples who push the change that the government fears? In 1984, the main character, Winston becomes aware of the past of how the party came into the party and he tries to stop the party from having any more power. In Anthem the main character, named Equality, creates an invention known as the light bulb and he gets shut down for his invention and he gets cast out.

In today’s society, a lot of people tend to take for granted what they have. Every once and a while, something drastic will ensue them, and that’s when they finally grasp what’s been right in front of them the whole time. In many different societies, for example the societies in The Hunger Games, and Anthem, the individuals that are living there are forced to listen to the ruler, or rulers, do not have an opinion in some of the choices that are made for them, and are also forced to accept the rule of selflessness. Based on the themes of the Power of Knowledge, the Image of Self, and the Consequences of Free Will, the novella, Anthem, and the

In both “Anthem” and “The Giver” there are many dystopian elements present. Most lead both books to develop a common theme. “Anthem” and the “ The Giver’ share a common theme of “ collectivism leads individuals to feel informed, and not able to be free,” because citizens are controlled and dehumanized by the government, have uniform expectations, and society is an illusion of a perfect society. In both books the author does a good job by showing all citizens as one to show conformity.

There are many things to compare and contrast in the hunger games book and the movie.When

Teens love dystopian stories because they can relate to the hero. In “Anthem” and “Divergent” the hero is different than everyone else in the story. Also they have a feeling of being divided. Then teens can relate to the actions of trying to fit in. They even can relate to the Uncharted Forest in “Anthem” and the Walls in “Divergent” because they feel like they are being blocked off.

The novel Anthem by Ayn Rand and the novel/movie The Giver written by Lois Lowry and produced by Neil Koenigsberg are both dystopian fiction novels with a similar story line. They both take place in a dystopian society that has many similarities. The main character in each of these goes against the rules and shows individualism. They both have different decrees to follow but they broke them remotely the same way. Some of the things they have in common are not only broken rules but things that the society influences on the people or opposes against a certain way of life.

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.

Anthem and The Giver have similarities but also have differences. The book Anthem by Ayn Rand is a book where this character Equality 7-2521 is in a world where they have all these rules and are not aloud to do what they want. In the movie The Giver by Phillip Noyce is a movie about a character named Jonas and has to take injections everyday. In the book Anthem Equality 7- 2521 has rules to follow but instead of following them he chooses to do pretty much whatever. He uses a candle to watch time when he finds a hideout. In the movie The Giver Jonas has to get these injections of medication every morning before they leave the house. Jonas and his roommates all have specific guidelines to follow everyday all day. Both novels are about dystopian societies in different ways.

Picture this. Imagine your parents and family that you love. Your dog? Cat? Then watch it all wash away as if it had never existed. In Anthem you are born technically with no parents. If you are a girl you grow up to go to the home of the peasants where you will basically farm your whole life. Men go to school and then there fate is chosen by a council of elders where in their opinion you are best “fit” to work. And to reproduce when you are of age you are sent to the “Palace of Mating” to have children.

In the novels “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley and “Anthem” by Ayn Rand, it is shown how the two societies both focus and encourage the greater good of the society rather than individualism and self being of an individual. Brave New World and Anthem both depict future utopian societies where the government and higher officials control the citizens by enforcing the need for the whole community and not as a single being. The “Utopias” are full of corruption within the governments, and have characters that do not fit into the uniformed communities and are considered outcasts, who eventually abandon their communities to begin a life of freedom and uniqueness. The corruption of the governments in both Anthem and Brave New world, main focus

In the movie The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen voluntarily takes her younger sister’s place in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a televised fight, where only one person lives. Two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are selected at random to compete. The purpose of the movie The Hunger Games is to create a sense of urgency for freedom in young adults. The Hunger Games encourages young adults to rebel against society’s rule.

Reality television has differed throughout the years. At one point it was meant to be a literal depiction of everyday life. Now, reality television has changed to be more dramatic and outrageous than an average person or family’s life. The Hunger Games, in a way, depicts the lives of those who live in the poorer districts where the necessities for life are not in such abundance as in the Capitol. Although children are not forced to kill each other in the districts, there is still the struggle for one’s livelihood. That reality is depicted in the games and it seems that The Capitol takes that theme and develops it into The Hunger Games that we know and love. The Hunger Games suggests that reality television is manipulated to the point where the viewers see what the creators (game makers) want them to see.

When asked the question “When do you become an adult?” many people would give an age but in reality the answer isn’t that easy. To me adulthood is when you are able and willing to accept responsibility. If you cannot or will not be responsible, you have no right calling yourself an adult. What does make you a grown-up? Is it moving out of the house? Hitting a certain age? Having a relationship? Getting a job?” How is it that we can do. those things, that we consider to be “adult”, but we still feel like kids? Or that we feel like grown-ups, we're certainly old enough, but we haven't. seemed to have accomplished any of those things “grown-ups” have done? People never seem to quite understand the meaning of being an adult.” It has always seemed to me that age is irrelevant. You can be 12 and understand things better than a 30-year-old or you can be 40, have two PhD’s and still wonder if pigeons are migratory birds”.” Many people my age think that getting out of
