After reading The Hunger Games, I found myself personally trying to find a broader meaning behind the novel whilst taking, the key themes and elements then applying them to the today’s society.

The Hunger Games trilogy revolves around universal dystopian themes such as :oppression, rebellion, class tension as well as appearance vs. reality ," Collins creates the world that on one hand seems quite improbable and extreme, but on the other, vividly reflects some specific issues in a real world, like social inequalities, ignorance and passivity of the people" (Macanić 7). Oppression is perhaps the most common and prevalent dystopian theme as it serves as a warning against a highly probable dark future through shedding light on the dark side of contemporary trends such as advanced technology and reality TV-shows .The Capitol 's oppression operates on two levels; districts and individuals. The districts in general and districts 11 and 12 in particular have suffered great injustices at the ruthless hands of the Capitol ; however, there is no greater injustice than The Hunger Games themselves not only are the people of Panem forced to surrender their children as tributes for the Capitol 's citizens viewing pleasure for a crime they had no hand in committing ,but they are also forced to watch helplessly as their children are killed in the most brutal of manners .In Catching Fire (2009) , President Snow decrees that " the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors" in order to get rid of Katniss once and for all ,and to further assert the Capitol 's dominance and quell any thoughts of rebellion(172).
Out of the all the books I have read, I think a book that has influenced and changed my thinking is The Hunger Games. I used to be the kid that was really bad at reading and writing; it was mainly because I moved to U.S. at the age of 9 without knowing how to speak any English. All the teachers handed me books, telling me that this book is going to change my mind. But, all those books didn’t really hook me in leading me to believe all books are boring. In 5th grade, my teacher told me to read The Hunger Games and then watch the movie.
The Hunger Games. A book that truly blossomed throughout the lives of many teens, kids and adults. Written by Suzanne Collins, a now very famous figure in the dystopian genre had an idea to change the way a dystopian book should written. Like I said, this book is a dystopian and is my second favorite dystopian book from Divergent which is another very good dystopian. The Divergent idea came from the Hunger Games book.
