The Worst Is Yet To Come Summary
“The Worst Is Yet To Come,” by Phillip Reeve, is a very fascinating article . He states that dystopias are grim, humorless, and hopeless and incredibly appealing to today’s teens. There are many dystopian movies and books that have come out that often illustrate a corrupt, evil future where people are forced to do things they don’t want to do. Many individuals think that the future is going to be corrupt and evil by reading and watching dystopias. However, I disagree because not everything authors or directors put in books and movies will happen in the future. It’s also not satisfying to think that the future will be set up a way to where there is a corrupt government controlling over the people, and fighting each other to survive. Though, it takes common sense to know that our world today wouldn’t be set up that way in the future, we have so much technology and people that wouldn’t let that happen. …show more content…
The Hunger Games is a movie about teenagers of a fractured future in the U.S.A., who are pitted against one another in televised battles to their death. It has action, romance and tragedy in it, which young teenage girls will be automatically drawn into like I was. I was drawn into The Hunger Games, because of the love two particular characters have for each other, Katniss and Peeta. They fought for each other and saved each other several times. However President Snow turns them against each other and they both manage to rekindle there love while at the same time saving their district and live happily ever

    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.…

    The movie, The Hunger Games, is based off of the popular written series of books by the same title. Although the accuracy of the plot of the movie being transitioned from the book to screen-play, is lacking, the film still does a phenomenal job of keeping the viewer engaged. The special effects flow through the movie smoothly and without complication. The acting, in some cases, are amateur, most of the actors do very well at their roles. I had no problems believing the actors. The next movie that you should see is The Hunger Games. It is worth every penny.…
