The hunger game definitely describes the conflict between worker class and capital class in a extreme case. And that’s the frequent criticism on capitalism such that it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Luckily, capitalism comes with democracy and the people can throw away their government if they suffer too much. I once took a philosophy class which we analyzed a lots of social model from different philosophers and discussed which is the best model. We came to the conclusion that a good social model should have a clear bottom line, and the government have the responsibility to keep all the people above that bottom line to prevent the “bottom people” suffering. In contrast to communism, this model doesn’t have a top line to prevent…
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 (Suzanne Collins) focuses on the main character Katniss and her journey to revolt against the corrupt power system of her government the capitol. The ‘Hunger Games’ is a way of controlling those in the capitols power. Comparison “All I can think is how unjust the whole thing is, the Hunger Games. Why am I hopping around like some trained dog trying to please people I hate?” communicates how Katniss feels the Capitol is corrupt and there ‘hunger games’ is a way to exert there power over those they control. Like Katnisse’s viewpoint “Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch – this is the Capitol’s way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy” reveals how those oppressed by the capitols power realise that their lives are controlled by the capitol and they have no option…
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.…
I will draw multiple scenes that will help represent the tones and themes of the book. For example, I will draw the scene where people are killing each other carelessly during the hunger game. This will show the tone of terror that the author want us to feel. Another scene that I will draw is when the Capitol sends soldiers to start hitting people who protest about the hunger game. This will show the theme where the Capitol holds all the power. The people living in these districts have no rights or power. I will include other scenes that will show the tone and theme of the…

Foremost the biggest difference is the theme of the both of these stories. In Twilight, the story has vampires and werewolves; meanwhile, in the Hunger Games the story takes place in the futuristic North America, called Panem. In the Twilight books, it is an ever-changing complex love triangle between two sworn enemies, a vampire and a werewolf, for one girl; meanwhile both Edward (the vampire) and Jacob (werewolf) team up to protect Bella, one of the dynamic characters, from the all the danger she puts herself in . In the Hunger Games, the story takes you through the Games which are held every year making one girl and one boy, between the ages twelve and eighteen, from each district go to the Capitol and fight until only one tribute is left alive. While there is also a love triangle, it is not the same scenarios. Katniss, the hunter from the poorer part of District 12 is in the love triangle with, long time friend and hunting partner, Gale and the boy with the bread, Peeta.…
The book of The Hunger Game’s simplicity makes the film more adaptable and exciting to watch. I think that good novels can absolutely make a good movie. Actually, in adapting the book into an action movie, it was expected that changes would be made. Some discourses would be revised and basics scenes would be removed. I am always interested in adaptation not because one do some better than others, but because they made over imaginative writings. The sense of harmony we get from watching a film is very different from that we get from reading a book that might take us several days or weeks to finish. The big screen creates a bigger impact on viewers. The main significance of the movie was that we get to see the effect that Katniss’s rebellion…
“Attention. Attention tributes. There has been a slight rule change. The previous revision allowing for two victors from the same district has been revoked. Only one victor may be crowned. Good Luck. And may the odds be ever in your favor." Seneca Crane broadcasts this bombshell statement into the arena after the death of Cato. By looking at the similarity between the tributes’ reaction to Seneca Crane’s announcement and the viewer’s reaction, we can see the sorrow and disbelief of Katniss and Peeta who thought they had just won the games and the surprise of the viewer’s when she pulls out the nightlock berries; this is important because the look on their faces makes the crowd and the audience believe that Katniss and Peeta are really going to eat the berries and commit suicide, while she knew the entire time that the gamemakers would have to stop them so they can have their victor(s).…

Since she is the eldest, she has to take responsibility in taking care of her family. Her main job is to keep her family well fed. She is a skilled hunter, so she hunts to feed her family. The people in the Capitol are rich and they use the district people to labor for them. They host a game called Hunger Games and for that they pick two people from each district. The contestants have to assassinate other participants to keep him/herself alive. This demonstrates that people with the power to control others do not care about lives and they are willing to enjoy death.
