Disappute Power In The Hunger Games Trilogy By Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is a brawl between twelve separate districts. These districts are governed by one main capitol, which has much wealth unlike the poor districts, where Katniss struggled to feed her family. They are also responsible for making The Hunger Games. The capitol randomly selects two people from each district, one boy and one girl, to compete in the games. All of the people chosen must be taken to an arena where they are forced to fight to the death.

“Taking the kids from our districts and forcing them to kill one another while we watch.” This is a perfect example of the capitols total and complete control. It shows just how much power the capitol has and how little the districts have. The Hunger games by suzanne collins shows how everyone can show power. Through the capitol, Katniss, Cato, and Clove. Finally, let’s get onto the next point.

Now that the Capitol new about the rebellious thoughts of every person in the Districts against them, they decided to completely alter their socio-economic status, making all the Districts really poor regions, all the wealth was concentrated in the Capitol. As an extra measure of oppression, and accordingly to president Snow, Panem’s president, in order to avoid future revolutions against the Capitol, the “Hunger Games” festivity was

Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, imagines a world where people are divided by district just like the real world does with the high, middle, low classes. This book is full of themes, literary devices and also talks about how the government — in this case the Capitol — oppresses their citizens.

In a life where one must rebel to stand up for what is right. In a world where there is only one government. In a game to kill or be killed. Who truly has the power? In the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, power is shown in many parts of the book. Although the government is initially successful at controlling everyone’s lives in the Districts, as Katniss’ journey of survival progresses in the Hunger Games, her rebellious actions damage the Capitol’s power. This causes her to prove the Capitol that they do not own her, and she has self-power. Throughout the book, Suzanne Collins portrays that everyone has certain control. Collins uses the Districts, the rebellions, and the Capitol to get this message across to the readers.

Corruption is a fraudulent behaviour that occurs excessively in the world of Suzanne Colin's novel, "The Hunger Games". Furthermore, this form of activity takes place most often in the Capitol. It's difficult to say if the capitol is corrupted or not, however many believe that the capital is doing what they must to survive. Citizens of the capitol do radiate a form of corruption over power. The capitol is undeniably corrupt and advantageous. Three meaningful reasons that corroborate to the contention are: The totalitarian government of Panem is noticeably corrupted because of the drastic differences in the treatment of its citizens. Secondly, the capitol forces voyeurism to symbolise authority and power, to grasp obedience from the districts. Thirdly, the future of the districts will be non-existent if the Capitol continues to make them pay sacrificial benefits with their respective citizens. These reasons noticeably state one of Suzanne Collins most prioritised morals. Too much power leads to corruption.

Much of the Hunger Games is centered around portraying a certain image, or identity if you will. The capital manipulates the weaknesses in their society and in their people to create an identity of unity and nationalism through the way they present the games to the districts of Panem. This idea of appearing to be one thing but really being another is ingrained in the society of Panem. District 12, in particular, maintains this image of complacency for the sake of survival, and Katniss is no exception to this.

However, forcing Districts to give up their resources isn’t enough for the the Capital. It demands the Districts to surrender one boy and one girl to go into the annual Hunger Games, an annual fight to the death, in order to prevent all out war. Katniss, the main character in the book, ends up being part of the Hunger Games alongside Peeta. Katniss then has to fight for her life because only one victor is allowed by the Capital. Because of this situation in the book, conformity and civil disobedience play a huge role in the Hunger Games.

In the novel The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, “Government control” is emphasized through the Capitol being prosperous financially which enables them to have control over the poor districts. An example that shows this is “Look how we take your children and sacrifice them and there is nothing you can do. If you lift a finger, we will destroy every last one of you...” This shows that the Capitol will emphasize that they are better than the districts using The Hunger Games and that since the districts

In the novel, Mockingjay by Suzane Collins, the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, is the face of a rebellion, whose goal is to overthrow the capitol of Panem from its tyrannical ways. She along with her group, squad 451, are assigned a mission. The mission is designed to penetrate and overthrow the capitol and kill its president to free the country from the capitol's rule.

The Declaration of Independence is the most honorable document in America’s founding history. In the Declaration, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “. . . That to secure these rights [Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness] . . . that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government . . .” The Declaration incites people to overthrow their governments if governments violate people’s rights. People of Panem in The Hunger Games novel may not know their rights, but Katniss, the main character, does not seem to bear the Capitol’s injustice towards the people and therefore incites an insurrection. By carefully reading and analyzing the novel, readers can notice the rebellion theme which is represented and symbolized by the demonstration of the mockingjay, Katniss, the double suicide, the wildflowers, and the woods.

The Hunger Games is about a teenager named Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a place called Panem. In Panem, there’s the capitol and 12 districts. The president and Capitol citizens live in the capitol. All the districts contribute something to the capitol like food, or power, and in return, the capitol gives the district's security. Katniss lives in district 12. District 12 provides coal but is also the poorest district. Everyone lives off of small animals they can catch. In order to survive, Katniss hunts on illegal land to provide for her mom and her sister, Prim. Every year the Capitol holds an event called the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is were two tributes from each district come to an arena and

The Hunger Games promotes the idea of a total government control. The Capitol controls everything that the twelve districts do. The world of Panem is divided into 12 districts where each district has its own role to fulfill from luxury to coal mining. "Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch. This is the Capitol's way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy" (Collins 18). This shows that the districts all pay a yearly sacrifice to the Capitol in the form of tributes. Another of showing that the Games is a dystopian society is that any evidence of an act of rebellion will result in the government having to kill anyone who gets in their way. "Look how he take your children and sacrifice them there is nothing you can do. If you lift a finger, we will destroy every last one of you. Just as we did in District 13" (18).

In the Hunger Games, one young male and one young female are randomly selected from each District, or town, every year to go into war with one another. Only one of the twenty-four make it back out of the game alive. The mayor announces the chosen ones every year at a ceremony known as the reaping, where he explains the history and purpose of the games. There was a war in the past between the Capitol and the Districts. Since the Capitol won, they hold the Hunger Games in honor of their victory. The story mostly focuses on a specific Hunger Games tribute, Katniss Everdeen, who chose to volunteer for her sister who was originally chosen as tribute. Katniss and District 12’s boy tribute, Peeta, are shipped off to train for the games for a few weeks in order to learn more about how the game is played and how the Capitol actually has a huge hand on who wins depending on their likeability. People who live in the Capitol actually send survival gifts in the games, which is the key to winning.

In 2008, Suzzane Collins’ published “The Hunger Games,” which takes place in an undefined future of the United States. This new country is known as Panem, which once held thirteen districts and the Capital; now, it only holds twelve districts and the capital. District Thirteen is the reason why Panem has a yearly event called the Hunger Games. District Thirteen started a war in an attempt to overthrow the Capital. In return, the Capital demolished all of District Thirteen.
