The reason for having the “Hunger Games” is to remind the people not to rebel again and that the capitol has all the control and power.

The hunger game trilogy is a fantasy fiction that written by the American novelist Suzanne Collins. The titles of the huger game series are The Hunger Games, Catching fire and Mockingjay. In an interview with the School Library Journal, Suzanne Collins, the author of these three books, mentioned that she got inspired by the reality TV program and actual war coverage (Margolis, 2008). The war scenes made her think the frightening memories from her childhood. Today, people start to watch the actual war scene as if they are watching some TV shows, they do not think she felt that the line between the virtual TV show and actual world situation become blurred therefore, she started to think about writing her new novels based on the mix of the reality TV programs with the actual survival game. Suzanne Collins has also done some research on the ancient Roman and Greece mythology and put some plots into her novels. In the novels, the author uses a first person narrator (Katniss’s point of view) to tell the whole story.

Gary Ross’s The Hunger Games (2012) is the first of a four part series of films based on the first of Suzanne Collins’s trilogy of dystopian novels, The Hunger Games (2008). The film closely resembles the novel because Suzanne Collins joined Billy Ray and Gary Ross in creating the screenplay. Suzanne Collins began her career as a children’s television writer, but then was inspirited to write books by her superior, James Proimos. The Hunger Games was the second series of novels Collins had written, its predecessor being The Underland Chronicles. Collins recalls that her inspiration for writing a dystopic novel like The Hunger Games was the overexposure of the Iraq war on television. Similarly, the Hunger Games is a televised competition in which two citizens from each of the twelve Districts of Panem fight to survive in the wilderness until one person is standing. Made in North Carolina and set in a post-apocalyptic Nation of Panem which serves as a future North America, this film follows Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who volunteers to enter the Hunger Games in place of her sister who was drafted in the yearly lottery. Katniss Everdeen, serves as an inspiration to young girls for her groundbreaking bravery and strength, even though her love triangle can undermine her power. Furthermore, the interactions that she and those in the districts have with the Capitol highlight the social and economic hierarchy that exist in Panem. This economic hierarchy is parallel to that in America between the upper and lower classes. This is why The Hunger Games could predict the conditions of North America if its poor wealth distribution continues.
