Reality Television

Submitted by sborjas on Wed, 09/11/2013 - 11:56pm.

The connection between The Hunger Games and reality television was was really interesting to me. Having read the book I can see the commentary on the negative effects of fake intertainment. Our reality television is obviously very different than the entertainment in the Hunger Games, the way people put on a show to get famous is something that is very relatable. We all know that reality television isn’t really "real" but we at some level we like to think it is. I have also found this interesting article that looks further into the relationship between The Hunger Games and reality television.
