War, a terrible war. A war in the form of a game. How would you feel if you were a tribute in a game like that? The hunger games by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian novel reflecting on the world we live in right now. The hunger games have many aspects that reflect on this world. The dystopian novel portrays the biased government(the capitol) and the social classes we live by. I am here to convince you that The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is an engaging book and movie for teenage audiences and should be read by them. In my speech, I will cover the themes of power and society & class and how they help to engage the audience
Collins confronts readers with the harsh reality of life in the districts where the people are not allowed to speak up. Districts which are controlled by the Capitol aren’t allowed to speak up or do any rebellious activity against it because the Capitol will cut off the tongue, proving they have more power over the districts. This dystopian concept is showcased through the usage of emotive language and dialogue that is experienced by the characters. “What’s an Avox?” I ask stupidly. “Someone who committed a crime. They cut her tongue so she can’t speak,” says Haymitch. “She’s probably a traitor of some sort. Not likely you’d know her.” This portrays the power the Capitol has on the Distract. How is this a fair system? The Capitol is like our world, where power and injustice take place, causing many innocent people suffering just like the people from the districts. Many people in our world today, don’t speak up for their rights or opinion because the authorities that are ruling have more power, as a threat to go against them. Overall this element of collin’s novel reinforce how “the hunger game” engage teenage audiences by reflecting on our world.
Collins informs the readers about the judgemental social class they have in their world through this novel. In many cases, you get given respect, opportunity and resources depending on where in the social class you sit. How is this a fair social system? This is showcased through the use of Contrast and imagery which helps to grab the audience’s attention. “They do surgery in the Capitol, to make people appear younger and thinner. In District 12, looking old is something of an achievement since so many people die early.” This shows how much the Capitol is higher in society because they are open to more resources than the people in the districts. The people get more money to spend on desirable needs, such as their appearance when the people in the districts barely get food to eat on a daily basis. Similarly in our world, the upper class gets to spend money on their desires whereas the lower class can barely feed themself. Therefore this once again emphasizes the idea of how “The hunger games” engages teenage audiences via showing the world they currently live in.
In conclusion, The hunger games is an engaging novel and should be read by teenagers. The novel is more engaging and appealing to teenage audience because of the use of language techniques and relating it to their world today. I encourage you to read the hunger games and learn the importance in our life.
