Lasha Kakakbadze Psy 35 Dr. Florence Schneider 5/29/2014 Hunger Games For the last thousands of years it has always been the survival of the fittest. In the novel Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins we are introduced to the world of annual games where people are set to face each other in order to survive. What would you have done if you had been taken away from your family and friends to fend for yourself in the hunger game? The games are a full of violent participant who are all trying to stay alive by killing the other twenty tributes (contesters). That’s the fear that people of Penaon live in, A dystopic country built on what was once North America. It is a world of limited resources, they are run by a tyrant government officials that are controlled by Capitol who basically runs and controls the other twelve districts. People of Capitol are enjoying the lavish lifestyle of advanced technology and wealth and don’t seem concerned about the other districts who are in constant threat of starvation. At the start of the novel we are introduced to Katniss everdeen who is part of the poorest district (district 12 who is forced to scavenge and hunt for her family’s survival. Since her father passed away Katniss became the bread winner of the house, her mother is ill who can’t take care of her children. That’s why Katniss involuntary had to grow up at the early age and become the source of income for her family. She takes care of her younger sister Prim and her mother by hunting with Gale who is she is close friends with. I think that Bronefenbrenner’s socio cultural factors effected Katniss, because from the early age due to the of her family’s lives she adopted and became an extraordinary hunter. You can see through the story how s... ... middle of paper ... ... effects that it has on children growing up. Katniss grew up in a district that had little to no resources so she learned to make best of what she had from the early ages that’s why she had greater advantage over the other contributors from other districts. I have read the book and seen the movie as well and the main difference that I would have to note would have been the pace of the deaths, in the movie the deaths were much quicker while in the book it was more detailed and seemed longer between each death of a tribute. As well as the graphic descriptions of the mutated monster that was formed from the dead diseased tributes never really was shown in the movie. Im kind of upset that there are so many good parts from the book that is missing in the movie. That’s why I would advise anyone that wants to watch this to read the book first before watching the movie.
