This book is an easier way of seeing the world for the people who are having trouble seeing it for what it really is. The Hunger Games may be fictional‚ but

Reality television has been around far longer than many give it credit. Many viewers forget about the very first reality television shows such as Big Brother‚ Survivor‚ and non-trashy versions of The Bachelor that displayed things such as alliance‚ friendship‚ and character development through the praises of its audience. Although newer shows have been accused of growing "trashier"; I feel that this change is actually only in response to the demand of its audience. Show popularity drops when the
