When I think of the story line of the hunger games I imagine savage gladiators killing each other not just for sport but for survival. I like to think of the movie “The Hunted” where an ex-military trained assassin starts killing hunters in the woods to call out his old trainer who taught him everything he knew, making him the killer he is. This is just like the hunger games in the aspect that we as humans have a savage or beastly side that is buried deep inside our selves, just waiting to be released it shows that we as humans are always looking for some type of way to tame that hunger for violence and destruction. The reading I chose to read and watch was “The Most Dangerous Game” I have read it before but wanted to read it again because it’s one of my favorite short stories ever. I like the quote that the photographer says while he’s on the boat. “A beast in the jungle killing just for survival is considered savage, but a man killing for sport is civilized.” I think that’s a great way to put it because we don’t think about how we act about killing things it is our human nature to kill something to survive but we turn it into a sport and its okay. Just like in the hunger games hunting is a crime punishable by death in district 12 but when there thrown in an arena its considered a sport. I like when Robert is being hunted the whole time its considered wrong, but if you think about it he starts killing everyone at the end in order to survive which normally would be considered as savage but because he’s killing bad guys its alright by our standards. These books have many more connections but these are the ones that I can fit into one page I really enjoyed reading both “The Hunger Games” and “The Most Dangerous Game” they’re both great pieces of literature and go hand and hand together.
