In the movie The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross, many examples of a dystopian society are depicted. The entire idea of the hunger games is a dystopia. Taking innocent children who weren’t even alive during the rebellion, and pitting them against each other in a fight to the death is just one example of a dehumanized society. The Capital, which rules over the twelve districts, operates under the guise of a utopia. They believe that by taking children from each district will somehow help the districts.
But if the humans have the willpower, they have the potential to overcome any challenge and that will only prepare them for other challenges later in life. In The Hunger Games, directed by Gary Ross, where a sixteen year old girl named Katniss Everdeen has to face a nearly impossible task. Katniss and her family live poverty. Her country is being abused by the power of the totalitarian government called the Capitol. The innocent children are taken from their homes and are subjected to killing each other in an arena.
To the people within each district and the capitol they die for a reasonable cause which is in fight for their district in the annual hunger games. From my own personal view they die for a ridiculous cause. The people of the capitol trick everyone into thinking that they are dying because fighting until only one person lives is an annual thing to prove their loyalty to the capitol unlike one entire district that was wiped out because they revolted against the capitol, district 13. b. There are extensive negative conditions in each district in my book. Most just go along with the district they
This resulted in many deaths for the Capitol and the districts but in the end the Capitol defeated twelve of the districts and completely destroying the thirteenth. After the rebellious war the Capitol created The Hunger Games, where a boy and a girl ranging from the ages of are picked from each district and thrown into an arena for a fight till the death. So 24 kids go in the arena and only one comes out. The capitol created this game to show how much power they had over the districts and they had nothing they could do about it, and also for the entertainment. This event happened every year around the same time and basically treated as if it was a reality tv show.
At the reaping, the mayor explains the origin of the Hunger Games. As a result of the rebellion of the Districts against the Capitol, formally named the Dark Days, the Hunger Games were invented; they made it clear to the citizens of the Districts that the Capitol had complete control. In the Games the tributes must fight to the death; this is a horrific blood sport for the entertainment of the Capitol, and to keep the Districts under control. Every year in Katniss’s home in District 12, preteens and teens between the ages of 12-18 must gather at the square for the reaping; this includes 16 year old Katniss, and her 12 year old sister Prim. This year, the odds were entirely in Prim’s favor, since she did not sign up for tesserae.
This is definitely not a good combination. If a house is on fire, you don’t pour more gasoline into it; thus, why are teens allowed all of these defective influences at such a crucial point in their brain development? These violent TV shows and video games are what give teens the idea to commit crimes. They spend hours sitting in front of the monitor, impetuous of what is put into their heads. Twelve year old Lionel Tate was supposedly imitating his World Wrestling Federation heroes when he beat to death a six year old girl.
When we first meet Katniss at the beginning of “The Hunger Games”, she's in an overwhelming position. To start with, she lives in a completely totalitarian state where most of the population is malnourished, overworked, and oppressed by The Capitol, their awful government. Katniss's entry into the Hunger Games places her in an even more difficult situation and it is then that we see a lot of her true self come out. In “The Hunger Games”, Katniss displays defiance toward the Capitol's inhumane treatment in a lot of different ways. She volunteers to take Prim, her younger sister's, place at the reaping, covers Rue's body in an assortment of flowers as sort of a memorial, and almost eats the life-threatening berries at the end of the Games.
In The Hunger Games, Katniss has to look for her own food and be her own doctor while in the arena. In Rash, Bo is serving time for violating laws, while Katniss is fighting for her and Peeta's life to make sure they both get home in one piece. Another difference is that in Rash, Bo has family support from his Gramps and his mom and he knows that even if he gets killed by polar bears, his Gramps and mom will be alright and will be able to take care of themselves. Katniss doesn't have that luxury, as she took care of the family, feeding them and providing for them, and if she dies, then soon, her family will too. As you can see, there are also many differences between Rash and The Hunger Games.
Ida leaves the house at an age of seventeen to “spend the next three years as a guerilla soldier for the Tamil Tigers” (Briggs 82). Ida never dies “because of a battlefield wound but because of a [gang-rape in her own living room]”. Ida is not the only girl who went through this but “thousands of other girls in Sir Lanka who are forcibly recruited or who join to protect themselves against economic hardship and rape”. (Briggs 83). Women in Northern Uganda are constantly raped but they are never allowed to do an abortion when they became pregnant.
Then the screaming will begin. I will be laying on the grown screaming and begging for the butcher to stop cutting my arm of. As you walk farther in a second victim will start to wake, grab you and beg for mercy, ask for help, and ask not to die. As you walk passed the second victim the butcher will pull down the next to trap everyone it. The butcher here’s this and runs over and kills his second victim and his third one started to wake and kill them.
