Welcome to the wonderful world of The Hunger Games. This course is an
exploration and in depth study of "The Hunger Games" trilogy. In addition to
a literary analysis of the 3 books by Suzanne Collins, this course will explore
the various aspects and themes that the 3 novels tackle and are based on: Greek
mythology (Theseus and the Minotaur); Roman history ("panem et
circenses," Spartacus and the
gladiators); sociological issues (poverty and starvation, gender and class
stratification); political issues (totalitarianism and democracy,
self-determination, oppression and rebellion, old and modern art of war);
reality TV and film (Survivors, The Condemned), the nature of evil (ethics and
philosophy), end of world theories and apocalypticism (religious studies), survivors stories (the
Holocaust, trauma, recovery and narrative), art (Jewelry), music and more. McDaniel Plan: Sophomore
