The Hunger Games novel
Introduction
The Hunger Games novel has become so popular with people in the current society. Most people like the novel, what has made the book immensely known that the author wrote it in first person. The reader got to be in the mind of Katniss Everdeen, the girl who is flawed in many ways that everyone cannot offer help but relate to her in a way. Dystopian novels have been popular for the last 50 years, but none have been done quite like this one. For the adults, there is something that for real resembles reality when Collins is describing the different districts and how they are to the Capitol. For young audience, this interesting novel might be their first one about a dystopian prose. No matter who you are the events of the novel stir you up, leaving you wanting for more in future. The controversial, events, and decisions characters make do bring to life an imperfect world which readers have to talk about to others after they are done reading it.
Many critics have compared the success of the novel as well as the remaining two of the trilogy, to the tremendous success of the novel, as well as tremendous success of Twilight and Harry Potter novels. I totally agree with this assessment that adult novels have become so incredibly popular during the last few years. The concept of dystopian literature play role of entertaining readers, as well as letting them understand the ideas and characteristics of a dystopian community. The characteristics are depicted through our own society but at a more drastic level. The reader of the novel gains more knowledge through finding that the topics the author writes about are relevant to today what is happening in the society. This style of writing is so popular because it makes readers think of interesting topics that seem realistic, yet fictional. The rise in popularity of dystopian literature among young audiences is important in today’s population culture because it is relevant to young adult’s lives, it gives direct comparisons to the ongoing events in the world today and it is originality in relation to other genres.
The relativity of dystopian literature to young adult’s lives is a component to why the genre is so popular. The reasoning behind this is how the stories are written. Young adult dystopian literature today is mostly in an adolescent’s perspective. Societies within young adult novels and how they are structured connect to the universal high school experience. The Hunger Games is about the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, who fights to the death against other adolescents in an arena due to the government creating life or death game situations in order to control society and its actions.
The Hunger Games can be compared to high school as a “…cutthroat race for high-school popularity becomes an annual televised fight”. Readers may see high school as a dystopian society because of the political stigmas that could possibly exist. There are social classes, upper class being the popular kids and lower class being everyone else. The “popular kids” run the school and mandate the status quo. This assumption is made for the stereotypical high school student. Young adult dystopian novels can give young readers different types of advice whether it is love, conflicts with the school, or other classmates. Dystopian fiction has grown as a genre and continues to evolve today. Dystopian novels to become famous were which still one of the top is selling dystopian novels today. Recently, there has been a rising popularity of dystopian novels. These novels have been transformed into popular movies that have made millions of dollars. There is a uniqueness to these novels that made them immensely intriguing to people and famous in today’s society.
