    “You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?”. The story “The Most dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell introduces an adventurous type of thriller with two main characters named Sanger Rainsford and General Zaroff. Both of which are hunters who in the story play a “game” invented by General Zaroff out of pure fear of becoming bored of the hunt. General Zaroff is a big fan of the hunt and everything he says about the hunt is to be taken serious. Rainsford and General Zaroff are described to be excellent hunters through the traps Rainsford makes, all the big game Zaroff has hunted, but Zaroff is better at hunting through the fact that the hunt has began to bore and he needs more of a challenge hunting humans.

    ...ic struggle over woman. In the first Hunger Games Peeta and Katniss played each other off as lovers, however Peeta actually has feelings for Katniss. Peeta and Katniss got married because The Capitol forced them to but Katniss does not have any feelings for Peeta. The second connection I made in Chapter 9 was if someone tries to protect their family more than themselves. Katniss was not necessarily protecting her family but protecting Peeta. Katniss went into The Games not trying to win, but trying to keep Peeta Alive and let him win. I think that making connections with literature can allow you to understand the book or story in more depth. I think that I will greatly benefit from reading How To Read Literature Like a Professor and enjoy books more when I make connections to The Bible or Shakespeare or knowing what a meal scene is actually trying to portray.

This movie refers to a dystopia world in which there are 12 districts and a capitol who rules with an iron fist, in which the districts must provide a tribute to fight in an annual Hunger Game as a punishment for a past rebellion. Katniss Everdeen is a hunter from the 12th district, which Gale, her friend gives her tips on hunting. One day her sister, Primrose Everdeen, is chosen for the Hunger Games, and in order to save her, she volunteers instead to serve in the Games along with Peeta Mellark. During a TV interview, Peeta confesses her love for Katniss Everdeen, which causes the enragement of the latter; however, she later forgives him as he explains to her that it was only to gain sponsors. During the Hunger Games, she did not receive a lot of supplies except some medicine to cure a wound, but Districts 1 and 2 almost won the Game due to their training, and amount of supplies which Katniss destroys but cannot recover any of them. The Hunger Games was one of the best movies I ever watched because it has a little bit of everything and it captures the real-life survival game that we live on a daily basis.

    Access to food draws a thin line between the privileged and the poor. In Suzanne Collins’ novel The Hunger Games, food has a massive impact on the different characters from the different locations. Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist, lives in the poorest district in Panem – District 12. Each different district has a specialty that they use to provide for the Capitol; District 12’s specialty is coal mining. Author Despail explains the districts in a way that makes it easier to understand by stating that “[e]ach outlying district in Panem forms an identity around not only the products the district is known for but also the ways in which its citizens cope with their lack of food” (70). Because of this, many people in District 12 have a tough time

  • Marxism In The Hunger Games

    The main character, Katniss, volunteers as tribute for her district to save her sister from having to be tribute. Upon arriving in the Capitol for the games, she sees just how vast the gap between the Capitol and districts are. To fight against this class struggle, she begins to revolt. At first this comes in the form of small things, like shooting an arrow at a pig feast of Capitol higher-ups and refusing to kill her friend in the games, resulting in the first ever co-victors of the Hunger Games. Katniss’ actions soon lead to full blown rebellion in the districts, starting a revolutionary war between them and the Capitol. At one point Katniss remarks: “My ongoing struggle against the Capitol, which has so often felt like a solitary journey, has not been undertaken alone. I have had thousands upon thousands of people from the districts at my side.” (Catching Fire 90). In true Marxist fashion the working class needed to use a violent revolution to confront the class struggle against the ruling

    This inequality between the districts is a reason that Katniss is able to survive the games. District twelve is one of the poorest districts. Capitol citizen are have an abundance of food unlike the citizen of the lower district (sparknotes, 12). To feed her family Katniss must hunt illegally so that they will not die from starvation. Katniss is one of the few people who will defy the capitol and is able to hunt. Katniss’s knowledge of the woods helps her adapt and survive in the arena. Even though Katniss comes from a poor family she is able to inspire people and change their views on society. She does this by winning the Hunger Games and showing people that she is strong even if her financial situation is not. Another example of inequality between the rich and the poor is the system of the tesserae system. This is the system that choses tributes at random. This system gives the poor a better chance of being picked because they might have put their name in more than needed. The rich also have an advantage in the games, they are able to start training way before the games. They are more experienced because they are able to afford special training giving them a better chance of winning. Suzanne is saying that the rich are usually seen to be more successful. Someone may look at a poor person and assume that they can not do much but, in reality they might be capable of a lot. She uses Katniss
