People in the Capitol drink a special liquid to make them vomit so that they can keep eating more food, which shows the extremely

Suzanne Collins "The Hunger Games" is a prime example of this, as it portrays a bleak future where the government maintains control over its citizens by forcing them to participate in a brutal reality TV show. The setting of District 12, where the main character Katniss Everdeen is from, is a vivid representation of the poverty and oppression that exist in this dystopian world. The text describes the district as "the Seam, the dark and impoverished area where I was raised, surrounded by the coal mines" (Collins p.5).
