Hunger Games Essay

The Hunger Games Whenever you watch a movie, do you critic the film once it’s over? Do you think about whether the actors/actresses did their part or just didn’t fit in the movie? Most times, I do. I evaluate whether the movie is good or bad, if the actors/actresses played their character well, how the storyline was, and more.

It seemed stereotyped because of how it was back a long time ago, when African Americans or dark-colored skin people, were slaves to the Americans, white-colored skin people. It had also be the men working As for Rue and her other partner in the district, it also seemed like a stereotype. I would have assumed Rue to be Americans and also her other partner from her district. But they weren’t and so was their district. Besides the gender identities, they play a dominance role between the women and men in the movie. The main characters had definitely showed this between Katniss and Peeta.
