How has social media influenced our children to the fact that killing is okay?
Why is PTSD more dangerous for the person after the battle than during?
(1) In the simplest terms, The Hunger Game trilogy flows along the mindset of a survivalist who has gotten in deep over their head. The story is about two young kids who are drafted into fighting in a coliseum, to the death. Their story there is a morbid, traumatic, climax for survival. The tributes (who are the children) Peeta and Katniss have joined forces to win the hunger games together. Peeta is the stoic type, he doesn’t talk much, but he lets his actions speak louder than words, also he is a baker by trade, although, he may not look strong, his work in the bakery has made him tough, …show more content…

This is what happens to Katniss’ sister Prim, but Katniss volunteers to take Prim’s place, her knowing she has a higher chance for survival from her experience from hunting beyond the electric fence. Katniss has more experience with hunting with a bow, setting traps, and knowing what’s safe to eat within the confines of the wilderness. She is duly unprepared for the trials that lie ahead, she was only given three days in which she has to learn as much as she can before the games begin. We can compare this closely to that of military training, especially when a world crisis hits. It is a blood bath in the preliminary round, it’s like war, we know it out there right in front of us, but often times we choose not to see it; however, Katniss like the American soldier is in the front lines experiencing the atrocities of war first hand, at first she nearly dies from a close knife attack but her quick reflexes save her from an impending death, thus, she develops the fight or flight reaction that comes with PTSD and all the negative effects along with it. From what I have researched and read, it seems to be the case that
