    Written by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games is about a totalitarian nation, called Panem, which is divided into twelve districts. Each year, one boy and one girl are selected from each district to perform in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death to show retribution to a past rebellion as well as to provide entertainment for the Capitol. Totalitarian societies form so that the governments can have absolute control over the individual, and those in control grant neither recognition nor tolerance of those with different opinions. The ideology of most totalitarian governments restricts individual freedoms and leaders often use torture and fear to prove their power. This, along with other aspects of totalitarian governments, causes national conflicts, leading to rebellion.…
