The book “Lord Of The Flies” is about a plane crashing onto an Island and no adult supervision left for the group young boys left behind. Once all of the boys that were scattered along the island gathered, they realized that they were left on there own and can do whatever they want to. The boys then created a structured civilization that doesn't quite strive throughout their time there.

Social stratification is a concept used within sociology that explains the divisions and social inequalities of large groups of people within a particular society. The Hunger Games (2012) is a film that demonstrates this through amplifying how the power of the rich members in a polarised society are taking control of the poor and separating them in different districts which create specific social rankings. This essay will use the perspective of conflict theory to examine how Australian society is also effected by social stratification and therefore divided in social classes which effects their access to social equalities.

Most people have heard of the Hunger Games, but don’t know the true meaning. People say it’s a book (or movie) about innocent people getting slaughtered. It may look like that but there is so much more depth. When authors write books, they add their perspective and beliefs. It could be about government, religion and many more controversial topics. In the Hunger Games, the author Suzanne Collins shows what she thinks about government. She does this by relating the Hunger Games to the gladiators and Ancient Roman times. Even the names of characters relate. Hunger Games may not be a sweet and innocent book, but there is a good lesson behind all the violence.

After everything that was explained at the end I wanted to read the rest of the story and I wished that there was another book to read. I loved the ending because it made me want to keep reading even though I was disappointed with it not going on but that is why I loved the book. In everything that I had read there were many things that were good and there were a lot of things that I hated but after the end and the way that they made me want to keep reading on. The other thing that I love in the book was on page 176 when Katniss reunites with Peeta and he wakes up it is crazy how he survived with everything that Katniss thought the capitol would do to him. Luckily the only thing that the capitol did to Peeta was pretty much brainwash him into believing that Katniss is the bad person in the situation and he remembers terrible things she did. This is another twist in the book and the way that they tell the story is very good and it helps me comprehend the story. I loved this part of the story it was my favorite part in the book because it was a cute story and it completed the whole story.

Do you like reading books about survival? Do you enjoy reading about children having to murder one another in order to survive? If so then the book “ Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins is the book for you. The Hunger Games is mainly about survival because Katniss has to find her own water, kill or gather her own food, and make her own shelter.

I am one of the few people in the class who is not a Hunger Games fan. I read the book in grade 7 and I was not impressed. Maybe it was because of all the hype that I was expecting something better. I just thought it was way too violent. I mean, seriously, why would someone write a book about kids fighting to the death? It's like Roman gladiators. The movie was even worse. It was bad enough for me to imagine all of that violence, but to see it was awful. I had to shut my eyes through the final scene with the mutations. I would not recommend the book or the movie due to the ridiculous amount of violence.

Few defining characteristics depict a book appropriate for middle schoolers to be taught in the classroom setting. Literature presented to young, impressible, students must be relevant enough to enrich and intrigue without boring them. Deciding whether children in middle school (7th and 8th grades) should be assigned to read an explicitly violent series such as Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games in class is a matter that has been debated numerous times since the first book came out in 2008. The Hunger Games trilogy is a series where children are annually forced to fight in a nationwide spectacle known as the Hunger Games. Many people believe that middle schoolers should not be allowed to read this at all, much less made to read it in the

The Hunger Games is a 2012 film based on the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The film describes an annual event where each of the twelve districts of Panem send one boy and girl to participate in a fight to the death. The Hunger Games is a result of a previous rebellion against the ruling party, the Capitol. Through a Marxist lens, the film presents the inequality and conflicts between the districts and the Capitol as a result of a capitalist ideology. Ultimately, the injustice and suffering causes the lower class to rebel and overthrow the ruling party.

The Games fulfil their purpose of terrifying the people of the Districts and thus preventing them to rebel against the government as they once tried. If the consequence of the last rebellion were the Hunger Games, there is no way of knowing whether or not the Capitol would destroy every one of them were they to fail again: “How little chance we would stand of surviving another rebellion” (Collins). Panem is a truly totalitarian state, where dictatorship rules, with a tremendous difference between the rich, who live in the Capitol and the Districts nearest to it, and the poor, especially the outer Districts like Eleven or Twelve: “What it must be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button?”(Collins). In such a society the bonds between people outside one’s family are weak and trust does not come easily, of which Katniss is the best example. The question whether love is possible in such conditions remains throughout the trilogy, as Katniss has to sort out her feelings towards Gale and Peeta and decide without whom she cannot live. However, in the first book the reader finds out that she never wants to have kids, meaning she would not want to expose her children to the dangers of the Games. The movie essentially preserves the original genre of the text, although it mostly focuses on the adventurous parts, and meticulously tries to follow the main plot but certain alterations were

This was my second time reading the Hunger Games. I struggled with reading it because I knew everything that was going to happen. Also by having influences from the movie, friends and media I got tired of hearing the same story over again. I did realize more of the darkness from reading the book for the second time. The descriptions of the killings during the games caused me to imagine gruesome scenes. The scene with Cato seemed to drag on to create the sense of how much he was suffering when the wolves got to him. The book allows you to know what is happening in Katniss's mind which can give more insight about how she feels about the people around her. She goes back and forth between hating Peeta and liking him. She still doesn't know her
