The hunger games
Searching for the hunger games, I found a very interesting story from the New York Times about the violence found in both the book and the movie. As Suzanne Dominus stated, “This is not a fairy tale; it’s a war, and in war, there are tragic losses that must be mourned.” Not only does the movie and the book inspire depression in the youthful readers, Suzanne states that dark messaging in young-adult literature has been increasing since the 1970's. The author of the Hunger Games has been portrayed as a media-shy figure who has used the Hunger Game trilogy as a way to educate the younger generation on the affects of war, much like her father did during the Vietnam war.
Yet, the lessons on horrors of war seem to be lost on many young people. The Hunger Games has been created into a computer and board games, where stealth and intellect are used to survive. The horrors of this distopia are not visualized.
