In their research, "Learning, literacy, feminism: empowering reluctant readers using The Hunger Games.”, Taylor and Francis company, is a company that is located in the UK and the founder is Richard Taylor and Francis is a writer, indicated that the “Hunger Games” books provided mixed messages with respect to gender stereotypes, also the fiction that was provided can have a dramatic impact on young people’s minds by reading them.
