Hunger Games

I feel the hunger game was really interesting read. The Hunger Game took place in Panem it is what we now call North America. There was a large nuclear war which really changed things a lot there. From this Nuclear war came along Panem which was a district. Its 12 districts in all there used to be a 13 but 13 went against the Hunger Games and was done in a rebellion against the Capitol. The capital is in the rocky mountains which is where the government is located. I really felt it placed me into a world of poverty and filth I feel as if there was just no structure everything was just a complete mess but every one still comes together because there pretty much all they have. The hunger games then comes along pulling families apart just so the have young teens battle to the death. This really remind me of a lot of the old battle scenes when royalty has the poor fight against each other all for just silly entertainment. Very sad story I really pray this isn’t something to happen in the future. The hunger games can be compared the show "Survivor". Only because a group of hand chosen competitors are put on an island to compete against each other for $1,000,000 but in The hunger game there isn’t any money being rewarded. They are all put to the test of strength, mental power and the abilities they have to survive on their own. Even though on the TV show they work together in groups for a short period of time, they soon learn that they are not able to trust anyone but themselves and in the end they are all thinking and planning how to win the game on their own. They are all being watched by hundreds of thousands of people to see who will last and who will be voted out. In the hunger games you are eliminated by death but in the TV show, you are eliminated by majority vote or if you choose to leave.
