The Main Purpose of The Hunger Games -

This quote was added by prodigy5723
The Hunger Games series deals with the kind of cruel entertainment our kids today are exposed to in reality shows, interactive games, and other dehumanizing aspects of technology and how the media manipulates reality for us. In one of the early scenes, Katniss and Gale are talking and he points out that if people would refuse to watch the games, they would be stopped. That's exactly the point- why would people want to watch? Why throughout history have people gathered to watch others be violent?

You are missing a large part of the point of the Hunger Games - it's why the exploration of children for entertainment is bad. That is what is being specifically targeted in these books, how we put kids in positions that many adults cannot handle and then manipulate them into being our entertainment.

This is an opinion piece, and so it should have an author. Otherwise we're exposed to someone's ideas without any editorial point of view.
