This is the raw, intense story of The Hunger Games and my conclusion on it. This story is written by Susanne Collins, this story is about 12 districts who are all ruled by the Capitol, the capitol has many different ways of punishing these districts. One of the many ways the capitol punishes these districts is by having them select two tributes from each district male and female to fight to the death until there is one winner in an event named The Hunger Games. My thesis statement is that people are being desensitized to violence some examples include: How the capitol’s remorse level is extremely low for the pain and suffering they have inflicted on the people within these 12 districts another example is how the capitol is always in full control
1984 by George Orwell and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins are both set in a society where the citizens are ruled by one powerful government. In 1984 the government is called Big Brother and in The Hunger Games the government is called the capitol. The people are ruled by a totalitarian government which consists of a government that tries to control every aspect of the citizens lives from food to jobs. In this essay, I will discuss the similarities and differences between these two works. The most obvious similarities between these two works is the authority they have over the people.
Hunger Games- EQ #1- Do individuals or external forces have more power to impact change?

As J.W. Eagon once said “NEVER judge a book by its movie”. Suzanne Collins’s “The Hunger Games”, is a novel created into a movie in 2012 by Gary Ross. Both the book and novel study the life of Katniss Everdeen, who happens to come from District 12 which is the poorest district because of District 13s horrible downfall. When Katniss’s sister Prim is chosen for the reaping she wants to volunteer to save her by taking her place in The Hunger Games, but what she doesn’t know is that the male tribute for the hunger games is someone who saved her life of starvation when she was younger. Although the movie and novel share important information about each other they do contain various differences that impact the story.
The Hunger Games: A Modern Day Odyssey? The Hunger Games is about a civilization that randomly selects two members from the different districts. Those two members are then forced to fight in an “arena” in which there is only one victor. In a way the Hunger Games is very similar to the Odyssey. The Odyssey begins years after the Trojan War has ended and Odysseus has not returned home.
How does a book like The Hunger Games keep you on the edge of your seat?

In the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the author uses the person vs. society conflict and indirect characterization to show how if a person isn't ready for it, life can change at any moment.

For Point of Contact, my concept was to evaluate The Hunger Games. What is the main idea or main argument of the text? I believe that the main argument of the text is that humans can be more violent than we actually think and that people can change political issues more than they think.

This essay will critically examine on how the female figure is represented throughout a very “selective” media outlet (the film industry), and how society is depicted in the film medium. The chosen media text for analysis is The Hunger Games, a theatrical adaptation of the novel written by Suzanne Collins and directed by Gary Ross. The film is centred on Katniss Everdeen - a teenage girl who volunteers on behalf of her sister, to fight in the annual Hunger Games- and the male District 12 tribute, Peeta Mellark, with whom she shares quite an intense past. Both characters embark on a journey that will test their physical and emotional boundaries, while being hunted by the other 22 competitors who all fight for the same objective: survival.
The Hunger Games and women in society: Suzanne Collins author of “The Hunger Games” designed Katniss Everdeen as the idealistic image of women in society. Her strength, skills, and self-control make her a figure of a woman perfect to match how our society wants women to be like and Suzanne wants that to stand out and make us think about it. Suzanne Collins wants to express how she thinks female should be like in everyday life and express that Katniss is much more than just a character, she is a message that is being sent to all the readers. Katniss breaks all the already established stereotypes by being able to survive, improvise and control herself in bad moments when even the toughest person would break apart. Katniss is strong since she was born she was being “tested”, she knows a wide variety of survival skills and her knowledge expands even more when she starts practicing for the hunger games.

While these terms are often still used in the five factor personality theory, the eventual emergence of the more commonly used and understood terms in the field related to Norman’s IV and V positions are ‘Neuroticism’ and ‘Openness to Experience’; these terms are related to the convergence of research done within the lexical approach and the questionnaire approach. The Questionnaire Approach Personality research and theory has and largely still relies mostly on the self-report instrument of the questionnaire for the information that guides it. It
