First Post About The Hunger Games

Surbhi, I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you once again. In your last post about The Hunger Games, you said that Peeta and Katniss were doing sweet little things to show that they care about each other. I didn't see any of that. I saw Peeta doing nice things, but I think Katniss has the right idea. He's doing it to get on her good side, and then kill her in the games. He's just the perfect person for everyone to love. A kind person gets all the attention, and it sounds like the sponsors attention too. On page 60, a quote says, "Which also means that kind Peeta Mellark, the boy who gave me the bread, is fighting hard to kill me." He's just doing it for the popularity. Surbhi, do you think his actions are popularity or is he just kind?
But don't worry, I don't just disagree with you in every post. I actually agree with you too! A great reason why The Hunger Games shouldn't be banned is that it does bring people together. The citizens in the town clearly care for each other, shown when the whole town gives thanks to Katniss. The Hob seems especially close, though it might just because of Katniss's dad and that they all feel sorry for her. But she needs the love. Clearly her Dad's death has left her in a state of misery. She deserves better.
Now for the reasons why The Hunger Games could possibly be banned. For one, it shows a corrupt society. We've been reading books about bad societiess, Anthem, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and they all directly point to the societies being bad. The Hunger Games also shows this inside of the book. Katniss and Gale are clearly against the government, especially in the woods when they blurt out everything. This book shows that the government could possibly be wrong, which could be a huge problem. Also, this book is geared towards young adults who are easily influenced. It is a possibility that the book could give youth thoughts in their heads about their governments being wrong. It's a little far fetched, I know, but the societies in the books we read in class basically did the same thing. Also, we see those books coming to life now.
