Essay On The Hunger Games Should Be Banned

The banned book I chose to read is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I chose to read it because it sounded like an action-packed book and interesting. The book is 374 pages long and every page is exciting and makes you want to not put it down. Also, I will be telling you a summary of this book and why it was banned. Then, to finish it off I will state my opinion on whether The Hunger Games should be banned.
The Hunger Games is about mainly two characters. A girl named Katniss Everdeen and a boy named Peeta Mellark are those two. These two compelling characters get selected to be the two tributes from District 12 to compete in an arena made by Gamemakers where they fight to the death. Each of the 12 districts has a boy and a girl selected as tribute so there are 24 of them fighting to the death. The week before the games start all of the tributes have preparation and are mentored throughout that whole week. Once the games start the 24 tributes all have their own strategies and are trying to win. Katniss and Peeta both venture off their own ways and eventually end up teaming up to win the games and face many challenges along the way. Overall, The Hunger Games is

a very exciting book that has action and adventure everywhere you look.
Suzanne Collins book is banned or challenged for a few different reasons. According to the libraries of Fairmont State University, it is banned because of anti-family. People say it is anti-family because of the way the two kids are taken away from their parents and are forced by the government to fight to the death. Next, it is banned for its violence. In the book, there is violence when the kids are fighting and trying to kill each other. Lastly, it is challenged for the insensitivity in the novel. The Hunger Games contains insensitivity because the government really doesn’t show any love by doing making kids fight to the death. Overall, The Hunger Games book is banned for a wide variety of reasons and different people feel differently about if it should be banned or not.
In my opinion, The Hunger Games should be a banned book.

First, it is really insensitive. The government selects two random kids from each one of the 12 districts every year to fight to the death on live television. I mean that really makes it seem like you don’t really care about your people. Next, Suzanne Collins book is very anti-family. The kids who get selected are very unlucky that their government makes them have to and then they have no contact with their family making it seem of no need to even be with your family. Lastly, I think The Hunger Games should be banned because of the violence at such a young age. Teenagers who aren’t even adults are forced to kill each other. That is quite out of place for such young people. In conclusion, The Hunger Games book should be banned for all of these

reasons.
To wrap things up, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins should be a banned book. The book itself was actually very exciting, but it contains things inside it that make it be banned. It is an action-packed book and if you have not read it I would recommend it. I gave you a summary of the story and why it is banned according to the libraries of the Fairmont State University. I hope you enjoyed!
