In your blogs this week, discuss any of the reading, media, and/or themes we have discussed related to the Hunger Games.
I want you to feel free to approach this blog from any angle or perspective that interests you. If you're stuck, you might try expanding on one of the discussion questions from class. You might, for example, attempt to answer the question, "Are we not yet entertained?" You might speculate on what it is about our human nature that craves violence and "drama." You might write about how American Idol is a type of Hunger Games, or comment on the "inspirations" that our author, Collins, discusses in her interview. Maybe you're interested in thinking about our society's constant quest for "15 minutes of fame." You might consider "who is playing who" in both the Hunger Games and in our own "Games" today.
There are many paths and approaches to choose from....
