Example Of Dystopian Games
Dystopian films and novels tend to portray many universal elements and they are based off of frightening societies. An example of this type of story is “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne
Collins. In this story, the different districts often went through hard times causing them to lose humanity. Living in homes with no heat, rough conditions, and a scarcity of food, water, and basic necessities forced the citizens of these 12 districts to fight for their lives everyday. And just this example of a dystopian story alone you will find heroic scenarios, parables, symbolism, irony, and how all these events took place due to the citizens losing all humanity.
The first example of irony that took place in this story was when Catniss Everdeens sister
Primrose

    Hunger Games Movie Analysis

    There are 7.2 billion people on Earth and no one is the same. Even though babies are born with no knowledge about their surroundings, they learn and adapt to it as they grow up. Their character keeps changing because of the influence from the outside world. Such major influences are social and political issues. Authors and filmmakers are trying to portray the social/political issues that people from a particular country faces to everyone through their films and novels. Poverty and freedom are the most common issues faced by people in almost every country. The film Hunger Games and McLaughlin’s novel Scored best illustrate these…

    The Hunger Games Book Analysis

    In Teen Dystopia: Should we be worried about what Generation Z is reading?, the author, Sophie Boyer debates whether The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is a suitable book for our generation to read. Through the discussion of both sides of the story, in the end, the author concludes that The Hunger Games is a “well-constructed allegory that reflects a more realistic portrayal of our world” and “reminds the reader to never take anything for granted.…

    Anthem vs. Hunger Games

    In today’s society, a lot of people tend to take for granted what they have. Every once and a while, something drastic will ensue them, and that’s when they finally grasp what’s been right in front of them the whole time. In many different societies, for example the societies in The Hunger Games, and Anthem, the individuals that are living there are forced to listen to the ruler, or rulers, do not have an opinion in some of the choices that are made for them, and are also forced to accept the rule of selflessness. Based on the themes of the Power of Knowledge, the Image of Self, and the Consequences of Free Will, the novella, Anthem, and the film, The Hunger Games express similarities and differences regarding the dangers of a Totalitarian government and its effect on its citizens in order to teach the reader to be blessed that they have a democracy and that the individuals of the United States have it really easy compared to other countries, and even societies in books or movies.…

    Personal Response 3 Teen Dystopia

    Teen Dystopia by Sophie Boyer is an opinionated piece that explains the reason we are so attracted to novels such as The Hunger Games. A reason such a novel is so appealing is because of the action packed plot and powerful symbolism weaved throughout. A story set in future North America, where climate change has destroyed society is where teenagers participate in a gruesome fight to the death called the Hunger Games. That heady combination results to complex yet relatable characters and most of all, a meaningful story. Hence, that is the reason why Boyer regards The Hunger Games as a “well-constructed allegory that also reflects a more realistic portrayal of our world .” Personally, I also admire authors who can create an abstract world so flawlessly that they still remain relatable. Even though The Hunger Games takes place in a different time period; where the world is overly violent, it leads to a new social awareness. As Boyer pointed out, “this awareness leads to a more tragic understanding of the world, but never without the hope of a better future.” When I read The Hunger Games it felt like it was situated in a world so seemingly different from ours, that I didn’t realise until the end, that it is based on a bit of reality. The Hunger Games highlights social issues of poverty, devaluing human life, and classism to make us aware that it still exists in the world, our world. Overall, The Hunger Games is a book that reveals the depressing reality of some places in the world, yet Boyer and I believe that The Hunger Games sends a good message to us readers: to live life to the fullest and never take life for granted.…

    What Is Fahrenheit 451 A Dystopian Society

    “There are worse crimes than burning books, and one of them is not reading them” –Ray Bradbury. This quote is very relative to the book Fahrenheit 451. This is because in the book, it is illegal to even possess books, never less read them. But in our society today, books are encouraged but less and less people are reading books. This shows a huge difference in our society and the dystopian society in Fahrenheit. But it also show similarities because people are always being forced to change. This brings me to my claim which is that among the many differences between a dystopic world and our world, there are many similarities.…

    Dystopian literature has a lot of themes, including government control and citizen equality. Government control helps the people to appear to be equal in almost every way, but that isn’t always a good thing. The people of these societies are severely oppressed because of how the government is in control. Dystopian literature shows how the government is in control of the people, while the citizens appear to be equal. This paper will include examples from "The Giver”, “The Hunger Games”, and “The Lottery”.…

    Examples Of Dystopia In Fahrenheit 451

    A dystopia is defined as an imagined place or state where everything is unpleasant or sad. This is definitely how you could describe the world in Fahrenheit 451. In Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, there are a lot of things missing in order to build a successful society. An older man named Faber, a character in this particular story, has narrowed it down to three: quality, leisure, and the right to take action.…

    On Dystopian Societies

    The girl scrambled for food through the thick wall of trash, the smell of mildew crossing her nose. She wore a tattered leather jacket and a pair of old jeans with shoes that people once called Chuck Taylors. She cursed when she didn’t find anything and turned back to her brother who was in the shopping cart looking hopefully at her. She sighed, “Nothing.” Her little brother sighs as well and she begins to push him in the cart again, back into the destroyed and broken streets. All around them the buildings had collapsed, they’d been bombed or quaked. Some had merely just deteriorated and broke down by themselves. An old thing made of tons of metal once called a Chevy sat on the side of the road. They went past it without a second glance, and stared through the crunchy and dead grass on what was once a park. Now there were no trees, dark green water that was more than most likely dirt, and the benches were about to break down just like the buildings. A highway bridge not far away next to a McDonalds was broken in he middle, something like a stuntman trick, only the stuntman was dead. The McDonalds sign wasn’t even buzzing today-the batteries had died a good four years ago with the rest of the world. The girl hadn’t tasted a McDonalds burger in what seemed like forever, maybe it was forever. Maybe it wasn’t.…
