The trend of dystopic young adult fiction is quite nauseating. The Hunger Games is a shameless inoculator‚ its anti-subversive‚ pseudo-dystopic‚ politically biased‚ and simplified world-building has inseminated the genre‚ producing more works of the same platitude. It’s strange to think that Suzanne Collins was actually attempting to write an important piece of social commentary‚ when the book was completely devoid anything thought-provoking. She failed to grasp the concept of a dystopia and instead

When I was a kid‚ one of my favorite story books was‚ Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. As a piece of my childhood‚ that simple story about Max and the “wild rumpus” meant a lot to me. So in the fall of 2009 when I saw the coming attraction for the full-length feature film‚ my first thought was‚ “I really hope they do it justice.” In chapter 10 of Adaptation: Studying Film and Literature‚ authors Desmond and Hawkes note that one of the potential reasons for the failure of an adapted

Sacrifice was a big moral I learned from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Katniss Everdeen made tons of sacrifices throughout the book. Around the beginning of the book‚ there was a drawing for who is put in the Hunger Games and Katniss’s little twelve year old sister Primrose was drawn.

The Hunger Games is a fight to the death battle consisting
