Hunger

I was able to read only part of his book. I found it quite fascinating. Rodriguez goes through many problems of identity. He has mixed feelings about his own self. He mainly talks about affirmative action. What does the term “minority student” mean? Is it something we want to be classified as? I had an experience in high school in which a student denied a part of himself. His mother is Anglo and his father is Mexican. However, throughout school, when it was time to check on…

For my media interest I am going to focus on female empowerment in film. The topic I’m interested in exploring is how the Hunger Games handles masculinity and femininity fairly, as all the characters have both traits. Suzanne Collins breaks the popular culture trend of the damsel in distress by introducing ‘Katniss Everdeen’. Katniss is a perfect example for fans that look up to her as she is strong willed that will do anything to protect the people she loves. Katniss is one of the truest…

Marianne Williamson. The fear of the world didn't just come out of nowhere, fear came from a source and the source of the fear came from the people. Author; Suzanne Collins takes on this heavy topic that “fear is learned” in her book The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a book that foreplays a government that picks kids age 12-18 from 12 districts and sends them to an arena to kill each other. Collins originally wrote the book to inform the society that humanity is slowly becoming desensitized…

The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, is a story about a dystopian society called Panem. Set in the future, Panem is under the rule of The Capitol, and more than half of its citizens are forced to live in poverty. Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist of the story, must fight to survive in the annual Hunger Games, and by doing so, she finds the meaning of courage, friendship, and love. I have wanted to buy this book myself for some time now, I have seen the movie but I would like to explore…

In today’s society women are often viewed with lesser expectations and are delegated to have more feminine like roles. However, in other situations they are expected to have more masculine roles. In The Hunger Games, director Gary Ross, shows this way of thinking in society throughout. The Hunger Games uses rhetorical moves to appeal to pathos, ethos, and logos to show how society has unrealistic views on women in today’s society by presuming them to have both feminine and masculine roles.…

One of the biggest film sagas of all-time came to an epic conclusion over the weekend – as the Jennifer Lawrence-led sequel, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, vigorously dominated the box office. With a thunderous debut of $101 million, Mockingjay – Part 2 put an exclamation point on a masterful (and lucrative) film series. Jennifer Lawrence reprised her role as Katniss Everdeen for what could potentially be the final time (though there are prequels and sequels rumored for the future),…

known effect of hunger and there are many less known effects that are way more dangerous to people then that. The lack of food or nutrients affect not only the energy of a person, but the mind and body too. Hunger is common in every country and can affects every single person. If Hunger affects the mind, then hunger must have a great effect on the education of children too. Why, in this advanced world is there still hunger, that causes so much damage to the human mind and body. Hunger that…

war, and food wastage, tip the global balance of food distribution, resulting in hunger in various parts of the world. These practices can be, at best, corrected now if individuals, who care and have enough money, donate their money and change their consumer habits. As previously stated, many practices add to global hunger such as the poverty trap, war, and food wastage. Other…

In The Hunger Games, the first book in a collection of three and a sci-fi novel, peer pressure is seen as well. The first example would be the capital forcing the citizens to watch the games. They would televised the innocent people fighting for their lives and force their loved ones to watch. They fed off the fear of the family of the tributes. Another example, would be when Effie and Haymitch pressure Katniss into changing her ways/personality to be liked by the viewers and the sponsors.…

of the laws. Suzanne Collins got inspired by these events and wrote a book based off of these events. The Hunger Games suggests that the hierarchical manner in which social classes are organized is determined by the governmental decisions. Roman Influence Just as in Rome, Panem was organized into districts when the capitol ‘conquered’ them, and they used power to subjugate the poor ("The Hunger Games: Themes and Construction").…
