One theme present in ” The Hunger Games ” By Suzanne Collins

On theme that is present in this novel is the inequality that is shared between the rich and poor people of Panem. In Panem, money and being wealthy is very much concentrated on. There are people living in the Capitol and certain of the districts that are very rich and since they are so rich they get despaired there lives rather than the poor people who have to always chance it. Food is the number one way in which the rich are despaired because they do not need to worry about having there names being put in extra times to become reaped, whereas the poorer districts have to take food meaning there names get put in the bowl more. Katniss immediate picks up on the starvation levels in District 12 and she has to hunt illegally in the deep woods to feed her family. The novel hints around the fact that most districts are incapable of hunting while Katniss is more than capable. This may suggest that even though Katniss doesn’t have a lot of money, it is an luxury that some families in Panem has. It is revealed to Katniss later that Peeta’s family, whom owns a bakery and seems to be one of the richer families of the district actually can’t afford most of the food they bake. The family also eats the stale and gross leftovers that no one buys. When Katniss arrives in the Capitol which is the richest place you will find, she is stunned by the huge feasts and perfectly prepared dishes. The food is rich and mouth watering, and for the first time ever Katniss tries hot chocolate.
