Causes Of The Hunger Games Revolution
A revolution begins when a group of people have put up with so much torture, and one thing happens and it sparks something. In other words, Police killing innocent people, or someone getting arrested for no reason can spark a revolution. Likewise, we see these same things with the revolution in The Hunger Games. There are several events that occur in The Hunger Games that lead to the revolution. One event that led to the revolution was the death of an innocent little girl named Rue. Katniss and Rue were both fighting in The Hunger Games. Rue and Katniss formed a very tight bond during the games.

    Sociology of "Hunger Games"

    The nation of Panem has risen out of the ravaged ruins of what was once known as North America. 74 years ago, the poverty-stricken districts of Panem rebelled against the wealthy, controlling the Capitol. After its crushing victory, the Capitol devised the Hunger Games as an annual reminder to the twelve districts of its authority, and as continuing punishment for the rebellion. Every year, each district must hold a raffle (known as the "reaping") to choose one boy and one girl (ranging from age 12–18) to participate in the Hunger Games, a competition in which each of the twenty-four contestants (known as "tributes") fight to the death in a televised arena until only one is left alive.…

    A Comparison Of The American And French Revolutions

    A revolution is a change where something past becomes modified or completely outlawed for a better future. An incalculable number of revolutions happen every minute of every day, some on a global wide scale, but most minor and insignificant. However, not everyone advocates these changes, Although the American, Haitian, and French Revolutions were revolts driven by the lack of social and political equality that their native government provided them, revolutionary leaders also underwent a social struggle to transition from the past to the future, in which they abandoned military protection, had to reconstruct society, accepting an independent and vulnerable position in the world. The American, French, and Haitian Revolutions all were revolts…

    Hunger Games Narrative

    Since this is a unit that is focused around The Hunger Games, the reading portion of the lessons is rather obvious, as students need to read and comprehend the book to be successful. They are also asked to read various articles and interpret texts in order to respond thoughtfully and appropriately to discussion and writing topics. Since the reading aspect of language was covered, I tried to focus on the importance of incorporating the remaining three language skills – writing, speaking and listening – while creating this unit. I did this by paying special attention to ensuring that discussion and dialogue were abundant to allow students the opportunity to not only share their own ideas but also…

    Dystopian Essay On The Hunger Games

    The last reason The Hunger Games is a dystopian novel is free speech isn’t given. Katniss said, “ When I was younger, I scared my mother to death, the things I would blurt out about District 12 about the people who ruled our country Panem...I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.” Katniss’s mother must have known of something that happened previously to someone that spoke badly about the Capitol. This is the reason she would get scared when Katniss would use her free speech and say what was on her mind.…
