relation to the two films we have previewed in class, The Giver and The Hunger Games. We have learned two types of societies, totalitarian and egalitarian. And as we were observing the two films, we were asked to critique the themes within the films and which society is more prominent. Within The Hunger Games, our protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, and her family all live in a totalitarian society. Katniss and many people with The Hunger Games series live in districts and those who live in those…

Some examples are political systems, technology, a gap between the rich and the poor, and the moral development of the citizens.

In Fahrenheit 451 the residents are encouraged not to read books as they are a waste of time and will provide them with nothing that their TV…

“May the odds be ever in your favor?” If you walk up to most people you know or most people on the street and ask them where this line comes from most people can tell you. The Hunger Games is a high recognized book trilogy turned movie saga. Like most Television shows, books, and movies these days The Hunger Games falls into the post-apotolitic gernra.

each year, one person is chosen to die by stoning. “The Lottery” is a famous dystopian classic, but modern books can be great too.
