Curate Yourself:

Why is this text important to you?

I chose to curate The Hunger Games, this text/film is not necessarily important to me but it does have many great symbols throughout the text and film. Inequality vs. rich and poor. This is important because in today's society we still have rich vs. poor and it interesting to see how this plays out in the movie between all the districts and how the poorest district had the strongest survivor in all of the games. In Katniss’s District, District 12 many families and individuals would have to hunt for their food and beg just for a small piece of bread and most of them would die of starvation. 

Also the importance of appearances and how Katniss dressed while in district 12 then when she became basically the face of the Hunger Games her wardrobe began to grow into a strong, independent girl who was very brave and showed no fear to the other players in the game. 

How the crowds of people that would watch The Hunger Games got entertainment out of watching the players suffer and die.

Why should more people come to know this work?

I believe most people know of The Hunger Games, they have either watched the movies or read the books or both. I know on the syllabus we were supposed to have a week about The Hunger Games but we never did and I think this film and text are both very intense and interesting to learn further about.
