The Hunger Games Most Pressing Questions!

Here are some questions I want to throw out to the universe before the movie opens

What books or stories does HG remind you of

What symbolism is used (i.e. mockingjay)


What commentary is the author trying to make
What lessons are learned
What moral and ethical questions are raised
What governments may be reflected in this story
If you had to write a thesis on this book, what would you base it on


What skill could you have shown the judges


What character do you identify with


Why do you think people find it okay to teach myths   Thesus and the Minotaur (which was the inspiration for this book), and historical events including the Holocaust and  Native American history, but are protesting this book?

And most importantly...Team Gale or Team Peeta?
