Katniss In Mockingjay
Imagine the cruelest form of a dictatorship you can think of, randomly selecting two young and innocent children per state from their families and friends. This is the corrupt and power-obsessed capitol. The capitol forces 24 children, 2 from each district to get put into an arena where they must violently fight to the death; there are 12 districts. This is called the hunger games, a “celebration” rather than a punishment to remember the 13th district that attempted to overrule the capitol, therefore, destroyed. The treacherous and notorious hunger games are nationally televised to all the districts as a lesson and are an amazing and honorable task to the people of the capitol. When Katniss Everdeen’s sister is randomly selected, Katniss takes her place in the games and wins. She is then reselected back into the games …show more content…

    The Hunger Games are a manifest of the most barbaric form of power exercised by the Capitol; an annual event where each district that has survived the war has no choice but to sacrifice two tributes; a boy and a girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen in a fight to death in a deadly arena. The Capitol is forcing these children to kill each other on national TV and get them slaughtered in front of their families and loved ones. That is all because the Capitol wants to remind the districts of how it has defeated the first rebellion and to claim its ownership of supreme…

    The districts all pay a yearly sacrifice to the Capitol in the form of their tributes. These tributes are children who will die in the Hunger Games. Katniss is seen explaining, how she is outraged by the fact that they use children as a sacrifice just to prove that they’re at the government’s mercy. Children killing other children is a source of entertainment for the country, Panem's, Capitol citizens. The violence of the Capitol's is disgusting and unthinkable to every viewer. Every citizen is aware that 23 children will die and that they all have less than 25% of surviving. These games are seen as an entertainment and celebration to Capitol although it is a time of horror and despair to the 12 districts. 24 tributes are brought to the Capitol and are forced to take part in a tribute parade before the Games. This displays how the Capitol is seen harming children by killing almost all of them to teach this lesson. The Hunger Games would not negatively harm the society if it had not harmed anyone physical especially to…

    I despise the games so much for all the pain they cause to the districts. Why do 24 people have to fight to win a stupid game; men, women, teenagers even kids aren't spared. The people of the capital make me sick. Every year I watch friends killing friends and family killing family. The worst part of all of this is that the capital calls it a retribution….A penance for the uprising that happened all those years ago. Every year we are forced to watch the inhumane tv show called, “the hunger games.” (Turn to watch tv) Katniss is in such pain, the wound gushing with blood. Memories broke through the wall that i built and i remembered my dreadful past and all the people i have to kill. That's what made me a victor; a strong will to survive and…

    Frantz Fanon

    The famous movie or book series, The Hunger Games, highlights the same struggle Fanon explains between the oppressed and the oppressors. A nation called Panem consists of 12 districts of people and one ruling Capitol. At one point in their history, the oppressed people of Panem rose and violently rebelled against the Capitol; however, the Capitol overcame this challenge and overpowered the districts. Each year, as a reminder of this rebellion and a reminder of the overbearing power the Capitol has, the Capitol holds the Hunger Games. As Fanon may see it, this annual fight to the death between 24 teenagers serves as a reminder for the oppressed or colonized to “…remain in [their] place and not overstep its limits” (Fanon, p. 144), like they had done once before. These 12 districts are already in bad living conditions, in which they are not provided with the means to adequately provide for themselves and their families. Every instance in which they get food from the Capitol, their name is entered into the reaping one more time. Katniss Everdeen is a teen from District 12, who hunts. This is very risky, for if a member of he Capitol catches her, the punishments would be infinite. Katniss is a tribute from District 12 who volunteered herself in the spot of her…

    “Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch– this is the Capitol’s way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy” (Collins, 18). Imagine living in a world where the only source of entertainment is controlled under a totalitarian government. A world where the regimes ideology of “good television” is forcing twenty-four adolescences to fight to the death and the last man standing is the winner. The dark, twisted ideology of The Hunger Games has become a yearly ritual for the citizens who live within the Districts of Panem. The Hunger Games were established because of the uprising of the Districts against the Capitol (Collins, 18). For the past seventy five years, Districts One through Twelve has provided one girl and one boy, called tributes to participate in the brutal tournament (Collins, 18). Many individual from the Districts find these games as a cruel and malicious attempt to seek vengeance from the Districts that had once upraised and rebelled against the Capitol’s order. Though some may feel that the games are appalling, their actions say something completely different. Because of their refusal to challenge or boycott these inhumane games, the morality of Panem as a society seems to be nonexistent when it comes to the lively hood of others in reality television.…

    Katniss, the protagonist, said “ Rules of the hunger games are simple. In punishment for uprising... Over a period of several weeks, the competitors fight to death. The last tribute standing wins.” This shows that she feels like the games are just for show only to help Panem, the nation the games take place in. The point of the games is to look back on a time when the districts rebelled against the Capitol, however, the games do not help anyone, as the brutality is too much for most of the games competitors to manage, especially in the lower districts.…
