Hunger Games Dystopian

(Set in the post-apocalyptic dystopian Panem, The Hunger Games depicts the lives of the war torn districts (like states functionally-there are twelve and each one has a particular industry) living in poverty and the wealthy Capitol (governmental figure) controlling everything that happens within the districts. One boy and one girl-between the age of twelve and eighteen- from each district must compete every year in a gladiator style trial called the Hunger Games. They do this as punishment for their forefathers’ rebellion against the government seventy-four years earlier. The Hunger Games themselves are simple. Each person is allotted with minimal resources and must earn sponsors for any additional supplies. There is one winner who is showered

In the history of cinema, most movies involving a hero 's journey involve mostly the same plot; man gets a call, goes on a journey, gets in a battle or two, and saves the helpless woman from some evil source. The Hunger Games has the same plot as other hero films, but takes a complete turn on the actor encompassing the hero. The hero in this film is a Katniss Everdeen, a poor girl from a dystopian society. In this film Katniss volunteers for her sister to be in the Hunger Games, which is an event where individuals are thrown into an arena where people from twelve districts fight each other to the death for entertainment. Katniss must win the hunger games and make it back to her family. Katniss eventually befriends Peta and they defeat all obstacles and win the Hunger Games together. The Hunger Games is a perfect example of a hero 's journey plot. It follows the steps that any hero journey movie would, including the call, crossing the threshold, a supreme ordeal, companions and mentors, a transformation and the end gift. This film encompasses the classic hero journey plot, with an exception of having a strong female lead instead of male.

Upon watching the movie “The Hunger Games” from a sociological perspective, I learned that many of the things that we have gone over in this online sociology course were incorporated heavily into what is perhaps one of my personal favorite movies of all time. Things like social status, culture, heritage, gender, and more were all used throughout the film in order to portray a realistic and believable setting for the viewer from a social perspective. Probably the most important sociological themes explored in this movie were the struggle to maintain a high ranking social status amongst surrounding humans, the pre-perceived idea of what you were and weren’t allowed to do legally speaking based on your district, and most importantly, how humans can ultimately make life or death decisions based on the value or benefit of a certain person to the group.

The Giver teaches us that love is essential to life. Jonas and the Giver demonstrate again and again how important it is, even though it’s forbidden. The Giver demonstrates love when he declares, “‘I love you Jonas’ he said. ‘But I have another place to go. When my work here is done, I want to be with my daughter’”(202). The Giver is saying goodbye to Jonas, he is practically telling Jonas he is going to finish the things he needs to, then The Giver is going to ask to be released. He says he loves Jonas and you can tell Jonas loves him too. He loves his family even though they don’t know how to love or what love is. He also loves Gabe, Jonas saves him from being ‘released’. Jonas feels accepted, loved, and at home when the giver tells him he

Do you have something you really want but don’t have the resources to get? People in society today have unlimited wants, but we can’t satisfy everyone, because what popular goods society has are scarce. The Hunger Games by: Suzanne Collins, written in 2008, follows a girl who “volunteered herself as tribute” to fight for survival, plotted as a game, to provide the society with what was needed to survive, and to support lower class families, while destroying the mindset of the “winner”. The Hunger Games represent politics and economics, versus society and the survival in need of scarce resources. Three reasons that support the claim are capitalism takes over a diminishing government, futurized economic issue, and the effects of the “game” on the main player, Katniss Everdeen.

Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games is a dystopian novel about the adventures of Katniss Everdeen, who is forced to battle against other children in a fight-to-the-death tournament. Throughout the novel, Katniss appears to be saved by luck in many near death situations. She is fortunate when her backpack protects her from a knife and when she chooses a tree with a tracker jacker nest. Many believe Katniss survives because she has never-ending luck in the arena. This assumption may be true; however, the other tributes aid Katniss throughout the games. She becomes dependent on other people to make decisions easier for her. Luck does not play a role in Katniss’ survival because the other tributes actions save her in life-threatening situations.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has many characteristics of a dystopian society. Propaganda is used throughout the book to control the citizens of society. The people of the twelve districts have their Information, independent thought, and freedom restricted. The type of dystopian control present is corporate control.

Jonas’ community doesn't have the choice of who they can live with and who's in their family. “… the Matching of the Spouses and the Naming and Placement of new children… scrupulously thought through by the Committee of Elders.” (Lowry, 62) Adults don’t get to choose their spouse, their child, and the name for their child. If adults named their own children, Mother and Father would feel a greater connection to them. Furthermore, adults don’t choose who they can live with. After The Giver gives a memory about Christmas to Jonas, Jonas experiences grandparents. In his community, citizens don’t get to know the parents of their parents. “When I finish my training and become a full adult, I’ll be given my own dwelling. And when Lily does… she’ll get her own dwelling… Mother and Father… go and live with the other Childless Adults. And they won’t be part

If Peeta was never chosen from the reaping would Katniss still have won the games? Was he the reason they became victors, Peeta was the reason Katniss was loved by the people, he made her likable and too, without him she would have lost an ally. Therefor raising the question if Katniss didn’t have Peeta’s presence throughout the games would she just have given up? And too if Peeta wasn’t chosen in the Reaping who else would’ve accompanied Katniss into The Hunger Games and would they have played the same role he did. These are all important questions that come into your thoughts when thinking about this topic.

Utopian societies have a tendency to become corrupt dystopias. This means that even though someone has an idea of a perfect society it can never be achieved. It is important to life at large because people must realize that there will always be problems some are just larger than others. “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” (James Madison)

If you have ever wanted to live in a place that is intended to be totally safe and have everything planned out, than you have desired to live in a dystopian society. Though it has a seemingly perfect purpose, the real purpose of a dystopian society is to make humans content with our normal lives. A dystopian society is made out to be good, but in reality robs everyone involved of their true human rights. Webster describes a dystopia as: “an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives”. Filmmakers use music, camera shots, and shadows to hype a scene.

Literary works include many underlying global issues, and the issues within Goal 17, Partnerships for the Goals, are no exception. The importance of regions, families, and people cooperatively working together for the “greater good” is emphasized in a number of novels, including The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games is a popular dystopian series that takes place in future society where communities are divided up into Districts. These Districts range in economic levels and specialty, but ultimately aim to serve citizens in the Capitol, the wealthiest area within the setting of the novel.

The Hunger Games: The flames of the uprising - this is another "advertising" game, which is dedicated to the release of a new part of the movie The Hunger Games. At this time, players in the role of Katniss Everdeen, the districts must raise to fight with a totalitarian regime.

As the trilogy, The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is a dystopia set in the post-apocalyptic country called Panem, the lifestyle differentiation between the impoverished district citizens and the wealthy Capitol citizens vary greatly. The novel was able to attract the attention of many economists since it centers around protagonist and survivalist Katniss Everdeen, and her ability to comprehend the Capitol’s powerful corruption that stemmed from the Dark Days. From her perspective, seeing that the Capitol is unfair to the districts, Katniss strives to impact Panem for the better. Economists find the trilogy alluring since the novel not only revolves around Katniss’s abilities to survive in a technologically advanced arena, but the novel

Dystopian societies are described as being the “not perfect” world and how there is poverty. In the two movies “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent”, they both are in a society that is lead to be perfect but is really quite the opposite. The two movies show the struggles of a heroine in the society they live in and what they do to try to change it. Both “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent” movies have a futuristic setting, social class, and government but both deal with it in different ways.
