Application: "The Struggle for Freedom: Power and Oppression in The Hunger
Games"
1. What did you learn about the effects of power and oppression through the story of
Panem?
After reading The Hunger Games, I realized how scary it is when those in power take
complete control. The Capitol forces children to fight to the death just to show who's
boss, which is honestly terrifying. What really got me was how Katniss standing up
for her little sister started changing everything, it showed that even one person's
bravery matters. Her friendship with Rue proved kindness can be powerful too. The
story made me see how governments try to divide people, but Katniss and Peeta
working together showed unity is stronger. All the Capitol's lies, and propaganda
reminded me how leaders sometimes twist the truth. The worst part was seeing
Peeta get brainwashed, it showed there's no limit to how far oppressors will go. But
the Mockingjay becoming a rebel symbol gave me hope - it's like the Capitol's own
weapons turned against them. Katniss's nightmares after the Games made me
realize violence leaves deep scars that don't just go away. In the end, what stuck with
me most was how regular people coming together can beat even the worst bullies if
they stand united.
