    The hero’s journey is a useful tool in analyzing narratives of all kinds, from myths to movies to everyday life. One of the most iconic stages in the Hero’s Journey is the ordeal, otherwise known as the belly of the whale or the cave, in which the protagonist has reached their darkest and most hopeless point – things cannot get worse. Once the hero gets through the main ordeal, their journey home is much more sedated. This can be paralleled to the encompassing plot structure, in which there is a climax, and then the intensity of the story winds down again. This stage is one of the most universal in the hero’s journey, because without conflict and climax, there is no drive or reward within the story. Popular movies such as The Hunger Games,

    My personal experience and the books I have read provide cogent examples that not only support my opinion but also have influenced me to come to my conclusion on the psychological aspect of mankind’s essential illness. The plot of The Hunger Games revolves around killing other people to escape alive. Much like the boys on the island, the characters in this book follow the same descent into savagery to kill to survive instead of hanging onto the last bits of civilization inside them by following their morals. They completely abandon civilization for the sake of their survival much like Jack does in Lord of the Flies. In addition, whenever I get angry, I have a similar experience. Though it is not for my survival, I sometimes get carried away

Shall a film maker (writer, director, or producer) want their film to be a box office success the film must be created by the normative standards that have been set by those controlling the industry. Typically those regulating the media are the banks and a number of media companies (Horne, 2001; Mantsios, 2013). The Hunger Games (2012), directed by Gary Ross, is no different in the way that it lures the audience to anticipate and praise the film but lacks to extrapolate the subtle message of class inequality to its audience. Additionally the film fails at thoroughly considering class division and challenging race relations and hints subtly, but significantly, at racial inequality.
