The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, which tells the story of 24 teenagers chosen by a cruel government and who must fight in the annual Hunger Games. In addition, all matches are broadcast live! Really gives readers a spiritual shock! This novel is “Narrow” and “Deep”. In the novel “Panem, the country that rose up against the suffering of a place that was once called North America……to remind us every year that dark days must never be repeated, it given the Hunger Games. » (6) The Hunger Games is an annual television program, the Nation's Capitol of Panem through a drawing ceremony to choose a boy and a girl from each district, and the child's life would be threatened, they are aged 12 and 18 years old, from 12 districts, they were forced to fight to the death.

All because of power. Life and death are not themselves capable of deciding, they are always under the control of bigwigs and the government. After finishing this book I start to think that all the rules of the game are man-made, authoritarian pressure is repeated throughout the book, but this book also shows how to survive in adversity and how to fight power . The meaning of life is not to get a good deck of cards, but rather to know how to fight against a worse deck of cards. Unsurprisingly, The Hunger Games is one of the American bestsellers and continues to please people all over the world. Although we watch others suffer for entertainment, we also silently pray that the book's protagonist, Katniss, can go from phoenixes to sparrows, as the Chinese like to say. Works CitedCollins, S.
