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

All of your posts are great. My favorite scene, depends on the movie/book, I will not spoil anything, though I want to very much, (saw it on opening day!) So I will just say my favorite scene from the first movie/book;When Katniss volunteers as tribute, or when she shoots an arrow at the gamemakers. I have read all the books. Btw; the third movie is going to be in two parts; Mockingjay p. 1 and 2.

I would have to say that the most relevant theme of the trilogy is the class system. But in The Hunger games trilogy their is only two classes; The Upper class; The Capitol people, peacekeepers, and the Lower class; The Districts. Also, unlike our government, which takes the tax money paid by the upper and middle class and gives it to the Lower class, in Panem, it is reversed; whereas the District people (the lower class) pay taxes,and whatever the District specializes in; District 1: luxury items, District 6:transportation,District 12:Coal, etc. which all goes to The Capitol, not to mention the immeasurable price of the lives of their children.
