Joshua’s comments from the On Tyrants & Tributes : Real World Lessons From The Hunger Games group.

When innocent people lose their lives is where the line is drawn and should not be passed.

This is where I tend to have a problem with how Hollywood presents these stories. They leave out so much information in exchange for glit and glam. I think that the overview of her father being an individualist is spot on. No matter what kind of society you may live in these basic survival traits can save your life. Being self sufficient is a must to be successful in this world.

Anytime there is more evidence presented of The Hunger Games creation drawing from historical record I am even more intrigued by the writings and films. Truly a compelling work.

From the first movie I liked the scene where she outlined the girls body with flowers. Even in the face of adversity she kept her respect for other human beings and stayed true to the cause.

Im Josh, from Texas and I want to finish off my degree in Journalism while I expand my families business and eventually become an investigative journalist.

I think that the most relevant theme is how the people struggle against a government that only values them as work horses and not as equal individuals.
