    514 Words  | 3 Pages

    In a dystopian world, Collins and Vonnegut demonstrate a suppressive government that uses propaganda which is manufactured to control and manipulate citizens, creating the illusion of a perfect utopian society. In the dystopian book The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins shows how the government can gain control over its citizens with the help of propaganda. An example of this is when Katniss is explaining each school day in District 12, she mentions this: “Except for the weekly lecture on the history of Panem” (Collins 42). What Katniss is describing is the perfect form of propaganda in Panem, which is to start brainwashing kids at a young age so they start to believe what society tells them.

  • The Hunger Games By Mary Pols: Article Analysis

    Although, I do not have kids myself I think I would have to agree with Mary Pols that “you should absolutely not take your elementary school aged child to see The Hunger Games” (Pols). Although Ferguson used research studies to justify his opinion, and Pols’ article was more based on emotion, I feel I agree more with Pols’. Kids should watch things that are within their age limit, for example, PG-13 movies are for kids ages thirteen and up; and kids should read within their skill set. Isn’t that why there are age ranges and limits? To make sure kids don’t become traumatized or pick up phobias or come to wild conclusions of things.

    827 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Hunger Games trilogy revolves around universal dystopian themes such as :oppression, rebellion, class tension as well as appearance vs. reality ," Collins creates the world that on one hand seems quite improbable and extreme, but on the other, vividly reflects some specific issues in a real world, like social inequalities, ignorance and passivity of the people" (Macanić 7). Oppression is perhaps the most common and prevalent dystopian theme as it serves as a warning against a highly probable dark future through shedding light on the dark side of contemporary trends such as advanced technology and reality TV-shows .The Capitol 's oppression operates on two levels; districts and individuals. The districts in general and districts 11 and 12 in particular have suffered great injustices at the ruthless hands of the Capitol ; however, there is no greater injustice than The Hunger Games themselves not only are the people of Panem forced to surrender their children as tributes for the Capitol 's citizens viewing pleasure for a crime they had no hand in committing ,but they are also forced to watch helplessly as their children are killed in the most brutal of manners .In Catching Fire (2009) , President Snow decrees that " the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors" in order to get rid of Katniss once and for all ,and to further assert the Capitol 's dominance and quell any thoughts of rebellion(172).

If you’ve never read The Hunger Games, the entire concept of the books is centered around a game in which children are selected to enter into an arena with the intention of murdering the other competitors until only one survivor remains.
