The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games reminds me of…... The Hunger Games reminds me of a lot of other stuff. I’m shocked!
 The Giver (Gathering Blue, the Messenger)-I think this series defines dystopia for young readers. Also in the Giver series the romance is more subtle and easier to take).
 Lord of the Flies- One of the biggest challenges of the games is for the tributes not to act like the kids in Lord of the Flies.
 Harry Potter (books and movies)-I think Finnick died because Lupin did. Real Housewives Reunions- I think Andy Cohen is a prototype for Effie Trinket and Caesar Flickerman. When Teresa pushed Andy it was a Seneca Crane moment.
 America’s Next Top Model-Makeovers.
 Survivor/American Gladiator-the Hunger Games if everyone got to live.
 Gladiator/300-I has not seen them but I assume.
 The Handmaids Tale-Possibly the most important dystopia novel about women.
 Gossip Girl-Constant surveillance. Very involved schemes.
 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn-Child born to a dead father. Intricate was of getting food.
Tristan and Isolde (Romeo and Juliet) - Star crossed lovers.
 Rent-Mimi weighed a lot and was in really good shape for a heroin addict.
 The Red Tent- The apothecary/healing plants. The tradition of female healing being handed down.
 The Matrix-Being chosen to bring down a society you didn’t even know was there.
 Little House on the Prairie- Being self-resilient with your family.

 Battle Royale/Twilight-People tell me.
