The Hunger Games Chapter 1
Dystopia is a community or society, usually fictional that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. This society is characterized by dehumanization, totalitarian governments and environmental disaster. Elements of dystopias may vary from environmental to political and social issues. Such societies appear in many works of fiction, mostly in stories set in a speculative future, one such story is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
In the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and the other members of the 12 districts are being treated unfairly because of a rebellion cause by the former District 13 against the government, the Capitol. Their punishment is not only starvation and suffering but for every year each a boy and girl tribute between the ages of 12-18 is chosen to be fight to the death on national television until one is surviving. 24 children enter only one comes out.
The Hunger Games is absolutely a riveting and suspenseful book. It portrays and enhance emotion and expressed brutality in means that can never be imagined today. The book is a page turner you always want to know what will happen next. Katniss Everdeen, the narrator of this book tells the story from her viewpoints and perspective. It’s like you can imagine the moment when she was singing to Rue as she was about to die or when she was running from the mutations in the arena. Her anxiety, pain, joy and all the other emotions and thoughts she expressed while narrating this book makes you feel like you’re in Panem experiencing all the elements of her dystopian society.
My favorite characters from the Hunger Games are Cinna and Haymitch. Although Cinna was born in the Capitol when he first
