In the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins there is Katniss the main character, who lives in district 12 with her little sister Prim and her mother. Katniss' district is very poor and she has to provide for the family since her mother can't. Katniss is a well hunter and hunts game and then trades it for food for her family. Now since there is this annual "holiday" called The Hunger Games. What it is, is that each district gets 2 randomly picked people from the ages of 12-18 (one boy and one girl) to fight in an arena to the death to see the winner and to show how much power a rebellion doesn't have against the Capital.
i have noticed that the district is very poor and so are the people. But the level of technology they have is pretty advanced. The bakers are using brick ovens and the government has a Electric fence around the district. There is no form of transportation in the district but trains connecting them to the capital. It is like they are only using the good things on the very high and important people. It is sort of like reality how the poor get nothing and have to do more to survive and live while the rich have everything at their feet. now i am wondering what if Katniss wins The Hunger games does her district get more advanced technology and better life styles. Also with Haymitch why was he drunk? it was like that victory he had in The Hunger Games did him when he won food and supplies for his district and himself isn't that great enough. And no one else i know of had access to alcohol so how did he get it?
like i said it seems like the poor is frowned upon and treated like nothing. but mostly it seems as of where your status is in anything that is how you are judged. like people are judged by how much money they have, how many friends etc. But i think judgement of your class is the biggest (e.g. how much money you have and what you can afford) because money is essential to getting things you need and what you want. And when people are judged on what they have and can get they are usually downgraded or praised and loved and i think it is wrong because so what if i cant get this or don't have this will it help me in any way shape or form or will it just be some thing fun to have then never to be used again. i think thats the way people should think and not like i said before about the judgement of what you have.
