The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins tells the tale of Katniss, a determined, independent, and complex woman trying to keep her loved ones safe and protected. Katniss’ personality and appearance contradict traditional leading lady norms, and her relationship and eventual romance with Peeta show the defiance of traditional gender roles in romantic relationships. Katniss and Peeta redefine gender roles in The Hunger Games as she stays true to her raw looks and personality, he embraces thoughtfulness, and as they both take on different romantic roles than society normally sees in romantic relationships. Scholars, Lem and Hassel, argue that there are gender roles seen in media, but I would like to go farther to say that kindness is a more

In the novel, The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian young adult book that is based in Panem that is divided into twelve districts.

The Hunger Games is an event hosted every year by the Capitol of Panem, where a randomly chosen boy and girl both need to represent each of the twelve districts that the capitol is composed of. When Katniss little sister, Prim, is chosen to be the representative for District twelve, Katniss volunteers to take her place and fight along her male counterpart, Peeta. The reason I choose this book for my book report is because Katniss is not your typical 16 year old girl. Not only is she her family’s provider but she’s also skillful, strong, rebellious, and unsentimental heroine. These are characteristics that society would mostly link to a 16 year old boy rather than a girl.

Economics is the study of scarcity within a systems of rules. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins’ can be translated into such, with hunger being scarcity and games being a system of rules. In the Hunger Games, we are introduced to a country called Panem. The country of Panem is divided into twelve different districts and the Capitol, where the government resides. Each district has their own different specializations and they have distinctive economies. The government regulates the trade and each district rely on trade from each other district and the Capitol for the goods they don 't produce. All of the districts and the Capitol is interdependent.

Torture still happens in some societies around us. With different levels of torture, it is being passed on from generation to generation. It reflects a lot on the connection between people in the community and how a person’s personality is shaped. Between The Hunger Games, “The Lottery,” and “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” the three authors all want to argue about how society uses torture to rule the community. Even though the government succeeds in forming an organized society, the connection between people no longer exists. Being selfish or careless wasn’t their natural born quality. The tradition of where they were born has formed their characteristics since they were raised along with it. Without understanding thoroughly about the tradition, they tend to keep passing on the tradition, which is why people in the community do not care about others nor bother to help them.

Contrary to the belief that feelings like fear and sorrow dominate the emotional atmosphere within a dystopian state, there exists an absence of feeling which competes for dominance. Suzanne Collins’ demonstrates this competing apathetic mood in her novel, The Hunger Games, through the citizens of the divided dystopia of Panem. This essay will analyze the origins and influence of apathy on a people and an individual, in both a political and personal sense. Collins’ main argument, that citizens’ facing governmental oppression can either become compliant with apathy, or, instead, utilize apathy in creating a false appearance to increase their chances of survival in a sadistic society, is conveyed with contextual motivation for the protagonist’s actions, exploration into false appearances, and through a lack of material resources.

When books are turned into movies, it is very usual to see major changes in the movie. Some producers add their own creativity to make the movie more appealing, this results in failing to represent the authors details and thoughts. Gary Ross, Suzanne Collins and Billy Ray are the two screenwriter who interpreted The Hunger Games novel into a movie. Since the adaptation of the movie was not so similar to the novel, Suzanne Collins most likely has questioned some changes that were done to the writing. Even though some scenes from the book are not even included in the movie, the movie has done a great job at becoming successful. There have also been major changes on the characters. There have been changes made to Peeta Melarck’s physical appearance and emotional behavior. Because of the timing of the movie, the producers have put an emphasis on Peeta’s feminine side by making him shorter, skinnier than Katniss, and by also making his behavior whinier. These differences have definitely impacted how the audience feels about Peeta’s character.

Suzanne Collins wrote the popular series “The Hunger Games” which became an extremely popular read for young adults before becoming film and expanding to encompass many adult readers as well. One thing to point out is that Collin’s novels contain a deeper meaning that is often overlooked unless it is purposefully searched for. There are many references to food in the novels, namely bread, that outlines the sometimes-brutal relationship that we have with food and the nature of our entertainment. The Bible contains numerous references to food and its importance in the relationships people have with each other as well as the relationships people have with God. This essay will focus mainly on bread as a recurring motif, and its symbolic
