Imagine going to the movie theaters to watch your favorite film, The Hunger Games. You walk up to the never ending lines at the concession stands to buy yourself a pack of white chocolate peanut butter cups. By the time you check out, the movie is about to start, so you rush over to be seated. When you were halfway there, you hear a loud scream, a man is being dragged out of the theaters by multiple staff. The man in question looked as if he were about to cry, with his face completely red, and his hands trembling with embarrassment. His oversized pockets were stretched, filled to the brim with delectable candies, the crunchiest chips, and anything else you could ever imagine. If only he hadn’t snuck food in, it would’ve saved him some major embarrassment. Is risking the rules worth having a few munchies during a move? This is a controversial topic for movie goers everywhere. People shouldn’t be allowed the right to snack, not only is it a more troubling than beneficial, it’s also a movie theaters main profit. …show more content…
According to the text, “Breaking those rules can have severe consequences too.” This shows you could get kicked out or possibly banned just for not coughing up an extra $5 at the concession stands. The risk of sneaking food into theaters outweighs any benefits it may have. In addition to this, “Sneaking foods into the movies is kinda like bringing your own pasta to Olive Garden.” Food is what makes movies fun, when you bring your own food it kinda ruins the purpose if ever going to the theaters. You might as well have rent a movie and eat as much food as you want at home for way less. What's the point of sneaking food into the movie theaters when it ruins the purpose of going there and causes more trouble than

As human beings, we thrive to find the meaning of our existence and also the truth. In the books and movies, The Hunger Games trilogy, the very heroic character Katniss Everdeen is on a quest to find truth. As she peels back the layers of lies that swaddle her world, she finds truth within herself and everything around her. To reflect on the novels and films, we must look at the principles of axiology and also examine the plot, characters and how they react to each situation; for reflecting on “the girl on fire” we must study the grounds of epistemology with her own identity. The whole story starts off with the day of the reaping when Prim, Katniss’ sister is selected to enter the Hunger Games, a game created by the government at the time to keep the society scared. One boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by an annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, an event in which the participants must fight to the death in an outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one individual remains.
My group chose the movie, The Hunger Games, because we felt like it represented clear differences between today’s society and the society in the movie. This movie offers different mindsets and ideas compared to today’s modern society. For instance, the concepts of socialization, politics, and government are different in the movies society. In addition, the United States also does not select two members to compete to the death, nor split up groups according to power and wealth. Our government also does not allow the deviance like the movie does. The social changes are a huge factor as well in the movie. These are just a few concepts of sociology that will be discussed by the group that touch upon major cultural differences.
The book The Hunger Games is full of critical scenes. A critical scene is a type of scene that is necessary for the book to have a story. One very important critical scene is when Prim was chosen at the reaping. When she was chosen Katniss decided to take her place as a tribute. Why did Katniss take her place? What could have happened if she didn't take her place?
In both books they share some traits, even though they may not look anything alike they are. both of these novels are dystopian novels and many characters share similarity’s.
The movie “The Hunger Games” has many similarities and relations to World Mythology. While it may not seem like this movie is as myth related as others, such as Troy and Thor, many of the themes and situations in the movie were inspired by the stories of the great myths and epics. The overall theme of the movie is courage, strength, and destiny.
In a nation where children and teenagers fight each other to the death for live entertainment annually, what social norms can actually be considered ethical? This is the question that Katniss Everdeen faces throughout The Hunger Games series. She must choose between doing what is right, and what is accepted, because in her world, the wrong thing is breaking the rules, no matter how wrong they may be. The rules that she deals with are much different than the ethical principles that people in the real world deal with, but for Katniss and the rest of the districts in Panem, these rules are what they have known their entire lives. Catching Fire is the second installment in The Hunger Games trilogy, based on the books written by Suzanne Collins,
I unwilllingly walked through the entrance of regret and guilt. With teary eyes from what happened the night before, I didn’t know what I could say. All I thought was ‘It was an accident’ but that didn’t matter anymore.
From a structural perspective, movies and novels appear as polar opposites. A film uses actors, scripts, and a set in order to create a visual that can grab and keep the attention of their viewers. However, an author strives to incorporate deeper meaning into their books. Despite these differences in media, 1984 and The Hunger Games present unique, yet similar ideas.

Gender roles are a set of societal norms that determine how a specific sex should think, speak and act. Society often portrays women as the housewife who nurtures the family while portraying men as the breadwinner who provides the family. Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis and Suzanne Collins’ novel, The Hunger Games, both portray unconventional characters that defy the universally accepted gender roles. By allowing their characters to surpass the stereotypical expectations, Kafka and Collins challenge the ideas of traditional gender roles that have created certain requirements and restrictions on both men and women. Kafka and Collins illustrate the theme of role reversal to exemplify that there should not be any defined gender roles. They try to
One example of how the food industry is ruthless is when one of the CEOs of a fast-food chain states they are part of the problem is hired immediately. Though I don’t not find this wrong because if I was a stock-holder with my life savings invested within his company I would without a doubt have him fired for placing my money at risk. That is the harsh reality of economics, you cannot place you company in shock by either a damaging statement or bad executive move. I found most disturbing about the movie was how a case was being made against McDonalds that two obese teens did not know fast-food was unhealthy (Spurlock). Regardless of how they lived word of mouth had to have taught them fast food is not healthy, and if that didn’t health education has been in place for years now teaching us
The Hunger Games- “a futuristic dystopian society [Panem] where an overpowering government controls the lives and resources in twelve different districts” (The Hunger Games). The overpowering government lives in the Capitol of Panem and from there controls the citizens of the twelve districts through propaganda and other means. The Capitol has all of the economic and political power in Panem; they have complete control. The leader of the capitol is the harsh, dictator-like figure, President Snow. President Snow’s methods for keeping order in the districts are through Peacekeepers and the annual Hunger Games. The Peacekeepers are an army that monitors each district. Any sign of rebellion, and the Peacekeepers take care of it, usually by killing the rebel in some way. The annual Hunger Games are used to remind all of the citizens of Panem about the uprising in the now obliterated District 13. The Hunger Games, in a way, brainwashes all of the citizens, but a select few such as Katniss Everdeen, to believe that an uprising would be horrible and is not necessary and that the Capitol does what is best for all of the citizens. In
I think that the story is realistic fiction. I think that the genre is realistic fiction because the President can make us start having wars again. We can start fighting for our freedom, the way that Katniss is. In the Hunger Games no one likes the games but the capital and President Snow. Everyone is trying their best to stop the games.
When we first got to the movie theater, it was around 4:20 in the afternoon. The movie didn’t start until 4:45 so we sat in the car for a few minutes. I noticed that were only a few other cars in the parking lot. When we walked up to the ticket booth there was a sign saying to buy our tickets at the concession stand so we proceeded to go inside. The lobby featured a game room to your right as you enter and a large concession stand. The tickets were at matinee price which is seven dollars. This is only two dollars cheaper than the regular price for admission. I decided not to buy any snacks due to being familiar with the cinema’s prices. One of my friends spent around twenty dollars on popcorn, a drink , and her ticket. There is a “manager special” at the theater that includes two large drinks...
