Please I need help

Hello there! :D

Today, I want you to get a rounded idea of what a Dystopian fiction is and some of the features of it that relate to The Hunger Games. I will not be giving you a direct answer that you can copy and paste, I would rather help you learn how to find this information and how to relate it back to concepts and ideas!

Let's take a look at the definition of a Dystopian. A Dystopian story line is one that relates or denotes to a society or state (imagined) where there are great sufferings and injustices. You can find this definition on google, a simple search. These tend to focus on social issues! One example of a Dystopian I loved in middle school is the Lunar Chronicles, so if you want to read up on some Dystopian books, that is a great series to read.

I will not be reading the first chapter of the Hunger Games, but I can help you connect general ideas of the book with the idea of a Dystopian storyline. What are some social issues/ great injustices you can see early in the book?

- There is a seperation of a nation that once was united, the 13 districts.

- A game takes place where one teenager from each district has to kill other teenagers to live and provide for their family and district (injustice).

-In the community of district 12, (where Katniss is) you hear a lot of descriptive words relating to poverty, maltreatment, and overall negative people.

-Social hierarchy. Disctrict 1 (the Capital) lives in luxury while the rest of the districts do not.

-District 13 was destroyed because it revolted against the Capital.

I would suggest to read the first chapter, watch a couple videos talking about the book, and read some lengthy reviews on the book as well. You can find all these things relatively easily. Remember, you are more capable then you think and you got this!

I hope this helped you and you have a wonderful day,
