Letter to the Capitol: Hunger Games
To the people of the capital.
My name is George Goddard, I am a student at Otamatea High School. I am writing to the people of the capital about the film The Hunger Games. I have recently watched this film and it left me very concerned with how the Capitol chooses to neglect the districts under their control and also how they force a young male and female from each district to partake in the Games every year. I hope the capital will take a second look at how they choose to treat the other districts. The Hunger Games concerns me the most, it is completely inhumane and unjust and it should not occur and needs to be stopped.
If the Capital was to stop the Hunger Games and if they gave the districts more privileges and improved living conditions the districts would look much better, the Capitol would not need to spend millions of dollars each year to hold the Hunger Games and the districts would be happy to serve the Capitol. There would not be the risk of rebellion and rebelion is the reason the Hunger Games is held. 74 years ago the twelve districts rebelled and now the Hunger Games are held to stop another rebellion. But if the Hunger Games stopped and treated the districts fairly a rebellion would not occur.
The benefits of this solution are huge, the districts would be happy and a rebellion would not even be considered by the districts, the reason they rebelled is because they were not happy with the government holding them under its control. It is understandable the districts citizens are not happy. Gale tells Katniss before the games start about hunting people compared to animals, he says “It’s no different Katniss.” But no one should have to use their skill in hunting as a way of killing people. It is also understandable that people forced into doing that would be unhappy with whoever the oppressor is. Gale also says “You root for your
