The Real Hunger Games

We have all heard of the notorious Hunger Games. Even those who may not have read the books, or seen the movies probably hear what the buzz is all about. I have read all three and saw all the movies.

But seriously though? Why is everyone so fascinated with these books? Well for starters we have the female heroin in the story, thats pretty big! There is a love triangle between Katniss, Gale and Peeta. Katniss takes her sister, Prim's place at the reaping. And then is paired with none other then Peeta Mellark, the bakers son.

There are twelve districts in Panem (The remainding cities of America after wars broke loose and wiped out most of the U.S.) Anyways the districts are run down, ill fed, and are bearly scrapping by. 

In the Hunger Games there are two picked from each District at the reaping, making 24 contestants all together. The Capitol (which runs all of the districts) do not participate becasue they are born into nobility and class status. They dress colorfully and in the most bizare ways imaginable! Oh and did I mention they have so much food, that they will throw up after eating a full meal just so they can eat even more. Wasteful!!!! The Capitol promises the last surviving person in the Games, glory, riches, clothes and guess what... food! They treat the districts horrible, and yet they get all the benifits from them.

Is this starting to ring a bell? Well the more I looked into the Fashion Industry in America, the more connections I made. The Fashion Industry takes what it wants from whoever they want, and turn there heads from their consiquences, like nothing is going on at all. They don't care whether the people providing literally EVERYTHING for them get injured, live in poverty, don't have food or even get KILLED! The more I thought about it the more the connections grew. The Hunger Games isn't some peice of fiction book. IT IS VERY MUCH REAL!!! They just try to distract and cover up what is happening around us with things such as, Black Friday (this one is HUGE), Fake news, The Superbowl, Malls, Clothing advertisments everwhere from magazines, facebook, ads and commercials on TV and more.

THE FASHION INDUSTRY IS THE CAPITOL! And THE HUNGER GAMES are other people suffering for us. Purchasing clothing made by the sweat and blood of others is not okay, and it can NEVER be justified. Stand up and Rebel! Buy Fair Trade to bring down the tyranny of Fast Fashion! People shouldn't have to starve, live in poverty and die for our clothing and products!
