The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games, the movie, was adapted from the popular young adult novel by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games is sometimes described as another cliche love story for which the young adult genre is infamous. Despite appearances, The Hunger Games illustrates a complex and creative dystopian world with a much deeper underlying message, including topics such as, politics, history, and celebrity worship. The setting appears to be a futuristic version of America. This future America is very classist, and the tyrannical government is sure to keep the classes divided by heavily oppressing the working class. The working class is divided into twelve districts, which used to be thirteen districts until the thirteenth district was annihilated as a result of its uprising. In response to the thirteenth district’s resistance, the President created a game called “The Hunger Games” in an effort to instill obedience in the remaining twelve districts. Through the course of the movie, we learn that “The Hunger Games” are not only a mechanism to force obedience on the working class, but also to serve as entertainment for the elite society who live in the Capitol. The Games require 24 randomly selected children from the working class districts to fight to the death in an elaborately staged battle, all of which is filmed and broadcasted to the entire nation, working class and elite alike. Thesis: The Hunger Games, the movie, has a hauntingly feasible storyline and clear references to real

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Steven Galloway’s The Cellist of Sarajevo demonstrates the way in which people are affected by war, and a brutal dictatorship.

My first text is The Hunger Games which is written by Suzanne Collins and it was written in September 14 2008; was set in the future, around the year 2087. My second text which is 1984, which is written by George Orwell and was written on Wednesday June 8 1949 and it was set in 1948. There are many themes in the book hunger games such as ‘the inequality between rich and poor’, ‘suffering as environment’ and ‘the importance of appearances’. In 1984 there is also many themes portrayed such as ‘the dangers of totalitarianism’. ‘Physiological manipulation’, ‘physical control’ and ‘language as mind control’. Collins and Orwell look at repression that has been shown in the characters in The Hunger Games and 1984. The characters that are used to

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.

The movie or the book the Hunger Games came out with a bang when it first hit theaters or the shelves of the bookstores. It was dubbed as one of the best films or books to read, interestingly enough it was a remake of the stories or myths most people heard when they were younger, but modernized and turned into a collage of all the best roman and Greek stories. Suzanne Collins brilliantly combined the Greek and Roman influences to make the movie/book unforgettable. By using stories from the romans and Greeks, to the Greek warriors Suzanne Collins demonstrates how she really drew inspiration for the book and movie.

The state divides society into 12 districts after the 13th district was destroyed as a result of the revolt of the population.
