Exploring Morality and Wealth in The Hunger Games

Unlike fahrenheit 451 the hunger games actually pay the people that go to the arena or the tributes. “The victor of the hunger games receives riches for life. panem is a place of nightmare, but it’s also a place we can understand, with its intractable injustices and its fine line between reality and “reality” as created for a broadcast. It's like the world as we know it gone terribly wrong” (collins). Even though you may get payed riches for the rest of your life money doesn't always help. You have those scars from killing all of those people for the rest of your life.

Before any of this even happened towards the beginning of the book both of the main characters agreed and liked their government but that was until they figured out that they

really did not like them for many reasons. In the beginning of the book fahrenheit 451 he liked his government laws and loved being a fireman. He didn't really think too much about burning books and destroying one of the world's most important things. It actually was a girl that made him feel differently and wake up to reality but not long after they become friends and he likes her she dies. That's when things go wrong for him.
It's kind of oppistoe for katniss she didn't have much of a problem with the government until she has to go to the arena and her a peeta where suppose to win together and the capitol tries to stop it and go back on there word which really set her off.
Montag's story is that he had high honor in his job and he loved it had no problem with it. Until he finds out what is in books and he starts to dislike his job and government. He does more of the things he does kind of freely. But katniss her reason is more of a pure pressure thing and to save her loved ones. She is more of forced to rule the rebels at the end of the book. She has a choice but she really doesn't at the same time. In the last book she is took out of the arena to join the rebels which she doesn't really mind until they try to force her to do the things that she doesn't want to do. When she actually goes to war against the capitol that she has been rebelling against she doesn't kill their leader she kills the leader she has been fighting for. Ironic huh?
The hunger games may seem like the harsher environment but in ways it's actually not. Yeah sure you got these people that tell you what to do all the time but i mean if you get called to go to the arena and you live and are the last victor you will be rich for the rest of your life. Fahrenheit 451 there society is just out of whack sure there not ruled by a capitol but they can't read books and their society consist of going to school if you're a kid and learning on T.V.s and watching videos. Nobody talks to (talking to one another is considered anti-social) one another and everyone is stuck in so far into their parlors to know what is happening around them. The only people that evan have a clue whats going are considered either antisocial or they are fireman. If you ask me i'd rather be in the hunger games society than fahrenheit 451.
