Makemedo's Journey to Power in Aristophanes' Birds Humans have always journeyed in search of what they want and need.

One of the most prominent themes in Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games is the evolving identity of the protagonist Katniss Everdeen. A common debate in modern day psychology is whether it is nature or our environment that shapes one’s identity. Are people born with their identity and personality already intact and decided for them or is it the experiences we go through in life that make us who we are? Collins takes on this difficult debate of nature versus nurture and uses Katniss to show how a combination

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is one of the best books I have ever read. It has a lot of different elements like love, survival, hope etc. One of my favorite elements is love or romance between Gale, Peeta and Katniss. Katniss is a very interesting character. She doesn't know what she's feeling for anyone. In the first few chapters the book talks about Katniss's life back in district twelve. Suzanne mentions her hunting partner Gale. Katniss met Gale when he saw Gale's brilliant snares. After
Most dystopian young-adult fiction that has been published within the past few years follows a similar formula. Divergent and The Hunger Games in particular are two book series that have striking similarities in the way the authors have set them up. They both take place in a future version of the United States run by a corrupt government, but they contain differences in the exact location and who runs the government. On the outside, the main characters appear very similar, even though there are some

While the government reigns supreme, it is unfair and dehumanizing. Every year, 24 "tributes" are chosen to participate in "The Hunger Games"; a televised ultimate

The tributes become violent, emotionless puppets. Then there is Katniss. Katniss is an excellent hunter and becomes lethal during the games. However, she has

A paradox is thus introduced, as the imposition of restraint ultimately undermines the insatiable freewill of individuals. Ray Bradbury‟s Fahrenheit 451 and Suzanne Collin‟s The Hunger Games provide insight into utopian societies and their eventual demise, leading to the portrayal of „dystopias‟. Fahrenheit 451 candidly hosts criticism to the rule of totalitarian government, realised through the subordination
