Jem Kamran-The hunger Games
I just finished The Hunger Games.
And I realized that the premise of the “utopian”
society that is created by the antagonists of the book is achieved through
isolation of wilderness. In the book the government has divided the country
into twelve; each district specializes in a part of industry like coal,
agriculture, lumber, fishing etc. By limiting people to one landscape or aspect
of the natural world the government of the novel obtained the power to oppress,
and control any dissidents. When the main character learns to escape to the
wilderness to hunt and provide for her family- which is illegal to do- she
realizes that there is more to life then to going along with what the Capitol
says. Her entrance into the wilderness was the beginning of her revolt against
the established government
