Since the Declaration of Independence ratified over two centuries ago, the United States of America have become a dominant, strong government. It has come from a vast, resource full land with only Native Americans to a vast, resource full land with every race. Americans seem invisible after all the success that the country has created that people might think that they are invisible, but if something happened inside America with the government, the whole country would go into chaos. If the government tried to recreate the government in The Hunger Games, the population would try to fight back but inevitably fall. Firstly, the people in office will feud over a Hunger Games. As beliefs clash, different states will divide and replicate districts. The newly divided states will suffer as they don’t have all the resources in each state. A new trade system will be hard to input as the states feud over resources. The trade system will simulate that of the Districts in The Hunger Games. For example, Texas will be the District 10 for America as they provide livestock, New York will be the District 1 for America as …show more content…
The world is not prepared for the form of government. America is not united and will break away easily if the government decides to change, and other countries will take advantage of their weakness. Little issues like feminism, no wi-fi, colds, and other first world problems break up the nation. If something this dramatic was to happen, there is no way anybody could invasion the catastrophe it could create. The population would have no chance against a whole government and their enforcers. America needs to focus on problems and build a stronger nation. The population need to focus on the country, not on the petty things that happen every day. The country can fall back to the beginning just as fast as the country built itself
The American government is proposed by the constitution, principles that we as Americans live by. To live by this constitution was a well thought out idea. Without it, we run a greater risk of
The building was standing and we were shaken but alive" (165). They started their way down on the eighty-seventh floor and made it until the thirty-third floor before they all knew what really happened. Later realizing that because they were calm and pulled together as a team, democracy won. " Today the images the people around the world equate with power and democracy are gone, but "America" is not an image, it is a concept.
Our government is weak and powerless. We’re the laughing stalk of all the nations, but that can all be change with the Constitution. With the Constitution comes a stronger government, more power for you, the people of America, more rights and protection,
In conclusion, poverty and freedom are the most common form of social/political issues that can be seen in real world that are very well documented in the novel Scored and in the film The Hunger Games. There is an interconnection between freedom and poverty. If there is freedom, it means that the government is taking action to keep people happy and because of that, there is less poverty. This is usually not the case. Most governments try to get the best out of its citizens and leave little for them and this causes poverty.
We all have heard “You can't always get your way.” Sometimes we don't get what we want, or you would tell your siblings that when they annoy you. It is true that we, as people, don't always get our way. The same thing could be said in the two texts “The Lottery” and “The Hunger Games.” In both texts characters face eternal peace.
American leadership has fallen and just like the Roman Empire fell America’s time is very soon. The U.S still pushes for the best of the best in technology, man power, wealth and security of its nation but has found themselves on a fast moving downward fall to catastrophic disaster. The Roman Empire, Spanish-American War, and the men and regions who had the desire to spread their own influences to other people and places were all classified under the same movement. This influential movement throughout the course of history is known as Imperialism which is still in a growing process in modern day
After the War of 1812 the American people were able to bounce back into the global sense of sovereignty after the showed how powerful their younger country was. They now could look inward and not worry that much about an attack or another war. Gordon Wood writes about his is his final chapter of his book Empire of Liberty, “American society, or at least the Northern part of American society, was coming more and more resemble what Franklin and Crevecoeur had imagined in the 1780’s, a society that seemed to lack both an aristocracy and lower class.” (Pg 711) This quote echoes sentiments of the 19th century within the 21st century which is something that one should do in order to see that we are not that different as a country then we were at that time.
The stories "The Lottery" and "The Hunger Games" are very similar to one another. Both stories show fear, sacrifice, and violence in some way. The government is corrupt and is not willing to stop deadly traditions that have gone on for too long. These traditions should have never started in the first place. In "The Lottery," citizens fear that they will no longer be able to grow crops as a result of not having this deadly game.
The Hunger Games vs. The US The Hunger Games is an adventurous yet somewhat violent trilogy that shows another side of what American government could turn into.

Both take place in the United States and have a President, but Panem’s President is president until they die. Where as the US President is president for four years and then there is an election.
The United States of America has never been anything but an empire. The first European settlers came to the land as a colony and even after gaining independence, did nothing but push west while murdering and displacing millions of natives.

The famous Roman orator and senator Publius Tacitus once wrote that “the more the laws, the more corrupt the government.” A corrupt system always tries to put restrictions and create laws in order to ensure that their power as an authority is not in danger of being disregarded. In Suzanne Collins’ renowned novel The Hunger Games, the Capitol is a corrupt system in Panem because it abuses its powers to control the citizens. It does so by forcing restrictions on the freedom of the people, favoring the rich and imposing harsh punishments.
Unable or making it really difficult to manage life and feedstocks, while those living in the capitol are free with an easy going life. Such power is capable of controlling those living in the district, making them fight for power while they watch for personal entertainment, “This is the capitol's way of reminding us, now totally we are at their mercy”. Another example of the capitol's power is that “Each district must nominate one boy and one girl for this years annual hunger games; control over the people, denial is something impossible for those living in the district. The freedom of the people
In the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the idea that an incident can completely change the course of events is relevant and is shown throughout the text. The reaping is an incident that changes the course of events for the novel. The reaping is where tributes (one boy and one girl) from each of the 13 districts are selected to compete and play in the survival game Hunger Games for the enjoyment and entertainment of the capitol and people watching. This is where the incident impacts the course of events changing the outcome of how things played out like a chain reaction. During the reaping of district 12 our protagonist Katniss Everdeen’s sister Primrose Everdeen is chosen as tribute defying all odds as she had the least names when
The mood of the scene is sad, unfortunate, tense. The scene under the pre-sett of the story is basically sentencing the ones selected to death, because of how that the district they came from have basically no money to train them through the hunger game, there for if any one were to be chosen they’re fate can almost be described as destined to be doomed. With in the short clip there was several scene from which you can tell that it was a sad and emotional scene, even sentimental. For example when Katniss sister were chosen for the game, rest of the girls instead of any sudden reaction, they instead looked at her with a pity glance, and then how that during all of the scenes not one smile or one act of happiness were shown, these can generally explain how that this scene was a sad scene. For further on explanations, how that Katniss was willing to sacrifice her self, and the fact that she was sacrificing her self, we can tell how scary this game can be.
