Problem

Hunger Games Prompt: In Suzanne Collins' book, The Hunger Games, every year citizens from the twelve districts of the country Panem gather in their district for an event called 'The Reaping,' in which one boy and one girl are selected to participate in a televised competition where all twenty-four will fight to the death until only one person remains. This competition, 'The Hunger Games,' was created by the powerful capital city as retaliation for a past revolt, and is a monument to discourage future revolts and keep citizen's spirits broken. In the book, the President of Panem (who lives in the capital) mandates all citizens to attend the reaping in their respective district. Soldiers are sent to each district to police the event, to confirm attendance with reliable biological scans, and escort the selected children to the capital city. Soldiers that make errors are severely punished by lead soldiers (who may be, in turn, severely punished by the President). The President sees full attendance as critical for the strength of their leadership. Some citizens do not want to attend but fear attacks from the soldiers if they do not, however others more mindlessly dress up and unthinkingly attend the annual event that they have observed everyone attending in the past. In other districts (e.g., Districts 1 and 2), citizens see the reaping as an event of honor and attend to show others in their district that their family members are brave. Each year, 100% of citizens attend the reaping. Get the instant assignment help.
