The Hunger Games Puritan Culture

The Hunger Games
“Hope is the only thing stronger than fear” said by Haymitch because he knows that is the only way the government of Panama has power. The Hunger Games is about the government pick two teenagers from the age of 12-18 from each of the 12 districts fight to the death the winner becomes rich and famous but this is all for entertainment. The Hunger Games would be approved by the Puritan culture because of the strong family values, self reliance, and hard work.
The Puritans would appreciate The Hunger Games due to strong family values. Katniss Everdeen saved her sister by volunteering herself to play in the games instead of her younger sister being forced to play. This took place on the Reaping Day where they pick two tributes from each of the 12 districts to play in the games. Before this her father died and their mother was very traumatized and could not function properly so Katniss took care of her mother and sister. She hunted but also her kill was used to trade or sell for other items to survive. She used the market to her advantage but although hunting outside the border fence of District 12 she did what she had to do to keep her family and herself alive.
Not only did they have strong family values, but they

were also very self reliant. Katniss hunted to keep herself and family alive. They were not wealthy by any means but the got money and food from her hunting. Her father taught her how to hunt and shoot a bow. She was very skilled, not only with a bow but a very skilled mind. She shows it in the games, she shows she is a very quick thinker. She made allies and alliances to get through the games. During the games she stayed under the radar and even before the games she even did not make herself a big target. She kept her skills hidden during training.
Lastly, the Puritans would greatly appreciate the hard work from the main characters.

Katniss is very courageous, she volunteered for her for her little sister and tried to help and protect her allies in the games. She worked hard in training and to not make herself a target before the games and even trying to get people to like her. Her goal of having the people like her is she gets sponsors for the games to help her out. She is very self disciplined. As an archer she practiced a lot at her home district her hunting skills even helped her personal gain in the games. If she was not a good archer her family would probably have starved. She is just a very selfless, and courageous person and that is why she is known as the Capitals

sweetheart.
Hard work, self reliance, and strong family values are why The Hunger Games would be a respected novel in Puritan culture. Imagine if Puritans lived in 12 different districts and having to fight to the death each year for the upper class citizens entertainment.
