Another teenage book adaptation was released this year, this
time it was Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games to receive the Hollywood
treatment.
Set in a dystopian futuristic world where the rich
essentially oppress the poor for their own greedy means, The Hunger Games focuses
on the story of the poor as they are sent on an annual trip to the big city to
fight to the death with one another.
It sounds ridiculous but in fact there isn’t a great deal of
difference between the rich and poor divide in this story and the one found in
real life, with the only difference being that governments don’t openly kill
poor people…
