Examples Of Dystopia In The Hunger Games

The novel The Hunger Games is written by author Suzannne Collins. Collins created a dystopian novel that has similarities to the current society we live in and could be interpreted to be what the future holds. Throughout the book characteristics of a dystopia society are revealed. From districts starving, living in poverty, being killed for trying to escape to somewhere better and being forced to do things they do not want to do. The beginning of the book on page three, starts with the main character Katniss Everdeen assuming her sister left their bed for their mothers’ because of nightmares caused by the reaping. The reaping is when each district chooses a boy and girl to take place in the Hunger Games. The Hunger games is a sadistic way the capital reminds their citizens they are in control. At the age of twelve children names are entered into calling up until they are

Can you imagine the feeling knowing that at anytime, a close one could be taken away. A best friend could be stolen. A family member could be killed. Even yourself could be sacrificed for nothing. Do you think that the emotions a family member may encounter, the sadness of an entire community, or even just the thought of dying, is worth it to provide a dominant government their “Hollywood ending”? Well, in the book “The Hunger Games” written by Suzanne Collins, Katniss Everdeen lives in a dystopian society where her community is divided by 13 different groups. Each year, their government randomly selects two participants from each group to play in the Hunger Games, which is a fight to the death among the other participants. In the book, Katniss’

I chose to the modern mythology known as The Hunger Games a novel written by Suzanne Collins and later adapted into a feature film. The novel was actually part of a trilogy The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. The story begins by introducing you to our main character Katniss Everdeen who lives in a world run by the Capitol where President Snow resides and has enforced a form of martial law on all 13 districts. Every year the Capitol hosts their annual Hunger Games which is a form of entertainment for the Capitol. Out of every district two tributes, one boy and one girl will be picked to participate in the Hunger Games which is a battle to the death. Whichever tribute manages to survive till the end will be rewarded by getting to stay in the capitol and their district will be given more food and supplies. The reason Katniss becomes a part of the games is because her little sister prim is chosen during the reaping to be the tribute so Katniss hearing her sisters name volunteers as tribute to save her sisters life but she tries to win the games for her district and to provide for them. The only problem is she finds it hard to murder the other tributes because they are all so young and she doesn’t see why she must kill them for the Capitols entertainment.

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

A Utopian society is a word is a world that is considered perfect.unfortunately,a society that is seeking perfection usually becomes a dystopian society .A dystopian society is a society that is dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible.harrison bergeron’s world and N.korea both shared these trait .both societies were ruled by a dictator that took away their freedom.

The Hunger Games is about a teenager named Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a place called Panem. In Panem, there’s the capitol and 12 districts. The president and Capitol citizens live in the capitol. All the districts contribute something to the capitol like food, or power, and in return, the capitol gives the district's security. Katniss lives in district 12. District 12 provides coal but is also the poorest district. Everyone lives off of small animals they can catch. In order to survive, Katniss hunts on illegal land to provide for her mom and her sister, Prim. Every year the Capitol holds an event called the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is were two tributes from each district come to an arena and

If chosen they will participate in the hunger games where they are forced to fight until only one tribute remains. The winner returns to his or her district, and is showered with gifts — specifically food. The Games, overseen and put on by Capitol (the tyrant government of Panem), are meant to discipline the 12 districts of Panem and remind them of the Dark Days and how the 13th district was demolished for its rebellion against the oppressive and malicious Capitol. In the reaping, Katiniss offers herself as tribute only to save her younger sister Prim, along with her a boy is chosen named Peeta; they will both go into the Hunger Games representing District 12. The ideas of withholding a sense of stability from a people, controlling social classes by making a spectacle of life through brutality and having power over a powerless people and sending the most vulnerable of the districts community (their children) to fight for their life are all exemplified in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

What is dystopia? Dystopia is a society where life is characterized by misery, poverty and violence. This fits the novel “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. Some people might think that the country of Panem is a utopian society, the opposite of a dystopian society, because everyone in the capitol is rich and lives peacefully. But in reality the capitols wealth comes at the expense of the outlying districts making it a dystopian society.

We are introduced to Katniss Everdeen, a wise and young women how aren’t afraid of anything. She loves to be outdoors, and to hunt with a bow and arrow. We get an insight about Panem, where the story takes place. It is a country that was created after the North America’s government collapsed. Each year the government holds a game as a punishment for the rebellion that happened. The day has come when two persons from each district is getting chosen as tributes for the game. From the day they turn twelve, they get their name written on one lot and each year the lots with their names increases by one and continues like that until they turn eighteen. By eighteen they are safe.

The novel, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is about an event that’s happening live on television where the people in the Capitol selects a boy and girl between the age of twelve and eighteen from each district of Panem to fight against each other in a game of survival where they are forced to fight until death. The person who wins gets a new house for their families with food and they become wealthy and famous. Katniss, the protagonist, is a 16-year-old girl that find out that her younger sister, Prim, was chosen to compete with a boy named Peta. Katniss being the strong- willed teenager volunteer to take her sister’s place. Instead of fighting to the death, Peta and Katniss decide to fake a romantic relationship between each other to manipulate the game and Capitol politicians to become joint winner of THE HUNGER GAMES.

The chosen utopia is a political utopia that described in the novel ‘The Hunger Games’ written by the American author Suzanne Collins. Utopia means a ‘nowhere land’, and its concept alludes to some imaginary paradisiacal places where human beings are living under a desired environment. This kind of ‘ideal society’ with everything perfect can be found in Edward Bellamy’s ‘Looking Backward’ and William Morris’s ‘News from Nowhere’. Dystopia, on the other hand, is a world in which nothing is perfect such as ‘1984’ by George Orwell and ’We’ by Yevgeny Zamyatin. The concept of political utopia was originally developed by Richard Saage. According to him, political utopia provides an ideal commonwealth that characterised by its distinctive criticism of reality, its rational and comprehensible design, which is universally applicable. In this essay, I will posit the political utopia in ‘The Hunger Games’ as a dystopia and elaborate the universally applicable utopia or dystopia is non-existent and impossible because of the diversity of human beings.

Utopia: Any visionary system embodying perfect political and social order. Some might say that it is a non-existent place, because no place nor person has the ability to be perfect. Human nature only has it to make mistakes and wrong doings from time to time. It is impossible to think anyone can create a perfect society. Opposite terms we think of Dystopia which is undesirable. When thinking of Dystopia I think of a communist society, where people face daily persecution for natural conditions out of their control. Such as race, culture, and affairs.

There really is not one answer to this question. I feel that the two terms, utopia and dystopia, are not mutually exclusive, as many societies are a mixture using aspects of both. I like to think out society fall rights in the center between the two. There are utopian aspects, for instance, how we decided not to conceal

What is the story of the Hunger Games? The story centers around a girl named katniss everdeen who lives in a dystopian society with her mom and sister .in Panem their country the land is broken up into districts 1 through 12. The people are assigned or forced to live in certain distinct because of government oppression or their financial circumstances. Each year two youths are selected from each district to represent their section, in the hunger games. The games were created to remind the people of the districts of the failure of their past rebellion. The 24 participants chosen for the sport are forced to kill each other while their districts watch. When katniss’ younger sister is selected for the games katniss’ volunteers to take her place.

The world in any society has two sides, Utopia which is defined as the perfect world and the peaceful life that is free from disasters. This word " Utopia " is derived from Greek roots by Sir Thomas More which means "a good place" (More 37). Merriam Webster defined Utopia as "an imaginary place, all life aspects are perfect, as the world suffers from nothing" (Webster 19). while Dystopia is defined as an imagined universe in which the unequal society controls the fancy of an ideal society which are maintained through technological, moral, corporate or totalitarian control " Beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds but we still have the power to change our own" (Condie 75). in which the genre challenges utopia’s
