Hunger Games.. awesome read
Last month I found myself drawn into this amazing trilogy audio books. I started to listen to it to kill time in my ugly daily commute but i found my self completely consumed by it. Partly because it’s easy language and the unexpected turns of events which makes my 1 hour drive a bit less painful, But after a while I started to notice a pattern and suddenly ….. Egypt
The trilogy is 3 books, 400 pages each, full of details and events but out of these, one line of events stood out clearly “the rebellion”
The story project almost perfectly Egypt revolutions starting from the fifties
The Story Line
Someday in the future the whole civilization is shrunk to 13 districts and the capital. the 13 districts were living in poor conditions while doing the hard work for the capital such as mining, manufacturing, agriculture…
At some point they decided to stand against the Capital, which result in a destruction of district 13 and initiation of the hunger games where every year the capital get randomly a boy and a girl from each district and let them fight in an arena till only one of them is alive. The Hunger games was an entertainment for the Capital people and a reminder for the district of the capital superiority. One of these years a girl (Katniss) and a boy from district 12 got into the game and stayed alive till the very end of the game not playing by the capital rules they wanted to be announced vector together. This action (whoever small it is) was considered the spark that initiated the rebellion in all 12 districts again.
Long story short, while the people of the districts were fighting the capital they found out that district 13 was not completely destroyed but they managed to have a deal with the capital all these years to stay hidden and the capital leave them alone or else they will launch there nuclear missiles towards the capital.
After a lot of fighting and death from districts people now led by district 13 (and it’s president) inspired by the girl who won the games . They managed to defeat the capital (and president of district 13 as a ruler of course) only to find themselves falling into a loop where a new version of the hunger games starting.
Sound familiar….. hah
Of course this is just a very skimmed version of the story but the more details you read the more resemblance you find.
Capital, district 13, secret deals, power and rebellion. These are all just too familiar
All I can hope for is that the end o story in Egypt is better than the one in the book
