The Hunger Games Mocking Jay, By Suzanne Collins

Susan Beth Pfeffer decided that she wanted to be a writer when her father dedicated the law book he was writing to his daughter. Right then and there she wrote her first little story about the love between a pair of scissors and an Oreo cookie. Her childhood experiences form the basis of her writing, seeing that she grew up in the suburbs in New York. This explains why most of her books focus on young people growing up in the suburbs. Pfeffer went on to New York University. After getting her degree in radio, television, and motion pictures she started a writing course and her first novel Just Morgan was published. Throughout her life she has published more than 75 books and some of them include: A Year without Michael, Devils Den, Life as We Knew it and Family of Strangers. The themes of her books usually include emotional problems, divorce, historical fiction, and people having fantasies of modeling/acting. Her science fiction stories contain apocalyptic futuristic events like her novel Life as We Knew it.

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.

Her book, Cracked Up to Be, was inspired by her interest in writing an unlikeable female character. Her book, Some Girls Are, was written because she tried to understand bullying better sense she was dealing with bullies at a younger age. She wrote Fall For Anything because she’s fascinated by the way we grieve and handle losing loved ones. That book is basically all about grief and loss. After that, she wrote the book This is Not a Test because she loves everything about zombies, and she thought it would be interesting to experience a zombie apocalypse through the eyes of someone determined to die. A numerous amount of people read her books because they can relate to the main character, or maybe relate to the problems going on in the books. It’s fascinating how you can write a book about simple life problems and it becomes a huge deal. A great deal of people share the same life problems, such as being a rape victim (which happens quite often), being bullied, being mentally off balance, and etc. Besides being a writer, she also plays piano and is a photographer. She’s a makeup artist

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins in a classic example of a dystopian Text as it is a futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through a bureaucratic, technological, or totalitarian control. Throughout the book their are many forms of powers from wealth, gender, the Capitol, and Peeta Mellark.

The Hunger Games is a novel by Suzanne Collins about a lower class girl who finds herself suddenly surrounded by a striking upper class lifestyle. Growing up in District 12, it was very hard for Katniss Everdeen to picture life on the wealthier side. She lives in a country called Panem, which is divided into 12 districts. All 12 districts are controlled by one greater force, the Capitol. The Capitol is known for it’s lavish lifestyle and harsh methods of control. The Capitol controls the media, the schools, the food supply and most importantly, the people. Panem suffers from immense class differences, harsh body modifications, glorified spectacles of violence, and monstrous sponsorships. Life in Panem is a lot more similar to life in

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.

The Hunger Games is a science fiction, dystopian post-apocalyptic series that takes place in a futuristic North American nation called Panem. The film series is based on the novel series of the same title written by Suzanne Collins. Many who watch the films view them as an action-packed adventure series, but The Hunger Games, like many other dystopian films, feature social and political subjects that relate back to past and present culture. Dystopian films like the Hunger Games provide messages, either directly or indirectly, that connect to issues in society. These messages are based in specific themes featured throughout the series. Government and society, media and culture, feminism and leadership, and ethics and the environment are the main reoccurring themes presented in the Hunger Games. In this essay I will examine how aspects of the Hunger Games series, like other dystopian films, make connections to contemporary sociopolitical issues, while also examining how the author brings awareness to these topics.

The book The Hunger Games takes place in the U.S many years after a war that put the world in total

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

How and why does Panem’s government oppress its citizens while keeping complete control? The “Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian novel with an extremely corrupt government that controls the citizens with the District system. The corrupt government in “The Hunger Games” finds various ways to suppress Panem’s occupants, including but not limited to artificial scarcity, a caste system, Avoxes, Tesseraes, lack of religion, and the Hunger games themselves. Artificial scarcity forces Panem’s occupants to be dependent on what the government gives to them through Tesseraes, or if not Tesseraes keep them on their toes and keep them in a weak state. The Districts create a caste system with those in lower castes thinking that those in higher Districts have more resources. Avoxes or criminals are symbols of destroyed hope. Panem’s lack of religion highlights how the government is like the absolute power of religion itself. The government oppresses its occupants through the District system including those in Districts One through Thirteen, and the capital. Using Marxism and Psychoanalytic theory will show the thinking behind the decisions of Panem in “The Hunger Games” that cause Panem to have such great power.
