Is being stuck in one social class how people should live their life? In Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen and her family live just like that no freedom to make a better life.

Also it would have been more equal throughout the games because …show more content…

Class distinction made it so Katniss had to do something illegal to get food for her family. If it hadn’t existed in the book that wouldn’t be true because she could have gone between districts if she wanted to. During the games Katniss and Peeta wouldn't have had to worry about if they were going to get sponsors because everyone would have been more equal. Also they wouldn’t have worried about other people getting more sponsors than them because districts wouldn’t have trained there contestants before the games. Going off of that Katniss wouldn’t have fake loved Peeta so that they could get sponsors because she wouldn’t necessarily had to do that although she might have because of Peeta announcing his love for Katniss. During the final interviews Haymitch wouldn’t have stressed about Katniss having to keep pretending to be in love with Peeta.

Expression against Oppression In the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the author exemplifies how in spite of the lack of equity, the consequences associated with self-expression prevents verbal defiance. The idea of equity and free speech is explored through the identity of the Avox, the distribution of food in Panem and Katniss’ behaviour. Firstly, the division in Panem prompts the lack of equity, allowing the Capitol to maintain control. When Katniss is served food which appears at the touch of a button, she says, “Days of hunting and gathering for this one meal and even then it would be a poor substitution for the Capitol version.

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).

Social class is an individual’s position in a stratified social order. Social class applies to the “Hunger Games” because there are people who have money and people who do not have money. The capitol has lots of money. They are wealthier than all of the districts, but some districts are more privileged than others, so they can train whoever is picked for participating in the Hunger Games. District 12, which is Katniss’s district, is a poor coal mining region that has no chance in the Games.

Social class is a hierarchy based on wealth, living standards, education level and occupation which impact people’s lives for better or worse. In this essay, I have chosen to explore the idea of how social classes affect the way we treat people. The four texts To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen all capture the idea in which social class can affect our lives. In each text, we see how social classes divide people from another, that most characters are aware of where they stand in their society because of social status, and how relationships across different social classes can be formed.
