Julius Caesar vs. the Hunger Games Did you ever realize that the Hunger Games and Julius Caesar have a lot of similarities? Not just Julius Caesar‚ but also the whole Ancient Roman Empire itself. The Latin word “Panem”‚ the country the Hunger Games is located‚ means bread in English. To me‚ the Hunger Games is more of an advanced version with all of the same concepts of the former Ancient Roman Empire. There is an old Greek myth that exists where fourteen Athenian boys and girls are sent to Crete

Literary Analysis Paper In Susan Collins’s book the “Hunger Games” the character of Katniss Everdeen is considered by many to be an example of gender role reversal.

Her possession of these feminine even instinctually motherly traits steer my opinion to the thought that these traits are more due to her position in her family then to that of a girl who is tomboyish in
