Today, I would like to talk about a world connection I had while reading The Hunger Games. The government and the Capital are like governments today. There are countries in the Middle East and other places with a large population of low income families like the Everdeen's.
They dont have much freedom of say...opininon as you read in this quote: "If I'd stood even a ghost of a chance, it vanished when I sent that arrow flying at the Gamemakers. What will they do to me now? Arrest me? Execute me?" and also "What really scares me is what they might do to my mother and Prim, how my family might suffer now because of my impulsiveness." Not that I'm saying what Katniss is doing something right in this moment, no. What I am trying to state is that if she does something or rebel she would have major consequences from the Capital and Gamemakers. Thus, not very much freedom in Panem.
Rebellion is my next point. I believe the Capital holds the Hunger Games because they are trying to get the "do not rebel and don't go aganist us" point across to the younger society. This is like Egypt and Libya and how they went against their dictators and rioted. Unfortunally, in some countries the dictators or leaders did not tolerate this well. This is also shown in the quote. I think this is called dictatorship and it is similar to Panem's government.
Now, that I have compared Panem and the Middle East there is one simialrity with the Middle Eastern countries. Most of them had protests. Will Panem or District 12 have one now or later in the books? It seems that Katniss is not happy with there descions (I predict also Gale) and I bet others think the same way.
