The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins

The reason for the Hunger Games is to remind all the Districts of what had happened to District 13 whom decided to rebel against the capitol. They hold a "reaping" every year and they send them to

Dystopian literature is a type of writing where the world in which the story takes place is not the best place to live and the people are normally controlled in everything they do. It comes from the Greek roots for Bad and Place. Anthem Ayn Rand is clearly an example of a dystopian novel because the government is flawed, and thoughts and feelings are restricted.

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.

In, The Hunger Games, the totalitarian government controls it's people by having each district send one boy and one girl to fight to the death in a competition called "The Hunger Games." The Government does this to punish to districts because of the rebellion they had many years ago. "The Hunger Games" were designed to stop the people from thinking about rebelling against the government. Also because teenagers from the districts are fighting each other it makes the districts against each other. Suzanne Collins has examples of this all over her books. Every step of the main characters journey has to fight the power brought down on them by the government.

For many years society has followed traditions in order to maintain their customs or beliefs alive. Often traditions change as society evolves, but what happens when society continues to follow traditions blindly without questioning its purpose? According to research scholars V. Anuviyan and M. A. Krishnan, “Rituals [and traditions] have been blindly followed without any regard to its effects. This has led to harmful and often fatal consequences” ( 23).

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins illustrates a dystopian society where the government tries to apply a perfect society to maintain the power in all of Panem. The author shows an elaborate and horrifying description of a society not so unlike our own and provides a clear warning about the danger of governmental control. The government of Panem has a government which controls everything. The government shows totalitarianism, a post-apocalyptic setting, and the world ranks. These three main points are what shows how the The Hunger Games is a great example of a dystopian literature.

The Hunger Games is the story of a leader, President Snow, who rules from the Capitol where he oppresses the 12 districts that make up Panem. Democracy & freedom are replaced by a modern dictatorship based on surveillance, police oppression and a division of social classes. The rich and elite owning class thrives on the backs of the citizens of the Districts, who in contrast are close to starvation. This is evident in one scene where Katniss Everdeen states that it would take her days to prepare one meal that those living in the Capitol would eat. To preserve their social order, the Capitol relies on a massive police force called The Peacekeepers, who are always ready to repress any kind of uprising. They

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.

Power is the ability to control people and it is part of any society, but, when power is taken to extreme it is not good. In Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, the Capitol uses different methods to “control” the people of Panem. The ambition of the Capitol is linked with the desire to have power over Panem. This means that the Capitol has to find different methods of control such as the separation of the districts, the control of resources and the creation of The Hunger Games. The Capitol control all Panem by dividing it into small poor districts.

The novel 1984 by George Orwell is based in a totalitarian society where the inner party controls the rest of Oceania. This storyline is very similar to the modern day story of The Hunger Games. Themes in 1984 such as Big Brother, the Inner Party, Telescreens, Thought Police, and Rebels are all also portrayed in The Hunger Games. Both stories follow the journey of the main character that is also the rebel in the story. There are many modern day stories that model the dystopian society that was first depicted in 1984, but The Hunger Games is one of the most effective to deliver the same message that was originally delivered in 1984.

Trust is well-defined to be as to having assurance, reliance or confidence in someone. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins takes place in the ruins of what use to be North America, which they call their land Panem. The Capitol consists of twelve districts and every year one male and one female “tribute” between the ages of twelve and eighteen are chosen to perform in an annual live event called Hunger Games. All participants must engage in a deathly battle and kill each other until one remains standing, achieving a great amount of fame and food. Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem,

In his novel Between Hell and Reason, Albert Camus states, “Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality.” Evidently, utopias are nonexistent in actuality, but visions of a perfect society may distance an individual from reality. However, concepts of ideal societies cannot be visualized without first analyzing the errors and weaknesses presented within dystopias. These defects, including the restriction of independent thought, lack of freedom, and constant surveillance and control, are presented through the real world, films, and literature. In the works The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan, and World War Z by Max Brooks, authors create dystopias in which ethical issues are presented to fuel one’s imagination regarding what qualities a utopia may possess.
