Question about the book "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins
Question Posted Tuesday September 1 2009, 12:03 am
Is Suzanne Collins successful with making comments about our society and our appetite for media coverage in "The Hunger Games"? Please explain, and give me atleast 3 good reasons why or why not. I read the book, its for summer reading, and its a really good book IMO, but I really have no idea how to answer that question. I didn't notice the underlying themes in the book with relation to the question.
Please give examples (quotes, paragraphs, page numbers, and/or etc) from the book that like support what you say. I know that some people hate when people ask homework questions, but I really did think about it for almost a week now and I'm getting nervous cause school is starting soon, and I can't think of anything! And I really like never do this. You don't have to write too much if you want, like general stuff basically. but if you have a great answer, expect a 5 coming your way! (:
Also, we have to make connections w/ this book to other texts and the media. I'm guessing that this book would be similar to the book called Animal Farm, and the shows on tv like Lost & Survivor. The bad thing is that I haven't read that book or read those kind of shows.. so I don't know how to really make a connection. please help me with that! Maybe if you help me with the other things I mentioned, this 'connection' part will be easier for me to put together. maybe i can relate it to like tabloids, the news, or reality shows.. but i just need the base question answered first to be able to start putting things together.
sorry this is long-ish! whoever helps is the bestest person evaaaaaaaa and i love you, you saved my life, blah blah blah, lol. (but seriously)
