    Throughout the games, announcements that involved changes in rules or special events to intensify the games could never be predicted and would often change the route of the story. This is seen when Katniss and Peeta are about to win together and the Capitol announces “Only one winner may be allowed”(Collins, 342). The announcements made during the games supported the theme because it means that all of the hard work, pain, and suffering that Katniss went through to save herself, as well as Peeta, would be useless if only one could survive. The decision made by the Capitol, which represents society, shows how Katniss, our protagonist, was actively trying to defy the capitol and retaliate, making them opposing forces. Another quote that provides evidence for the theme is early in the book when Katniss is reflecting on the idea of the games and states “The twenty-four tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena that could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland.

    Introduction I will be examining the movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, through a sociocultural lens seeing that the social relationships among the characters can connect to particular concepts discussed this term. Throughout my analysis I will discuss social relations, social inequality, privilege/oppression, and social structures in relation to the film. Considering this perspective enables me to question the idea of ‘universal’ or ‘natural’ childhood and instead explore how young people exist within social hierarchies, and how adults within the film view young people inadequately. Rather than assume the powerlessness of youth, I will explore how young people resist social perceptions and expectations through resilience and resistance.

    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).

    The Hunger Games, composed by Suzanne Collins, is fiction in the youthful grown-up classification, which is not my age gathering, but rather I got myself not able to put it down. Its mix of frightening strain, exciting activity, and connecting with romantic tale kept me up until the small hours. I was astonished at how totally immersing the plot was. Like Brave New World, this story is set in a future where the legislature abuses its kin, however the book additionally obtains thoughts from the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.

By having the same concept as the first, it seemed very reparative because having the same Hunger Games but with this it proceeds the story of rebellion rising. President Snow is corrupted to the core, he thrives in the idea of order by massacring thousands rebels or not just to keep the power he has over the districts. Katniss matches his power of fear over the people with the power of hope to break the rules, break the system and to live life before the apocalyptic war.
