1. Multimedia Essay
The Hunger Games

2. Background
Information The ‘Hunger Games’
is an annual televised
event where the
Capitol randomly
selects one boy and
one girl from each of
the twelve districts,
putting them against
each other in a game
of survival where they
are forced to fight
until death, with the
winner receiving
food, fame, and
wealth for themselves
and their family.
Due to tech problems, I removed
the 3 minute movie trailer that was
here in order to reduce the file
size.

3. Introduction
The theme of the Inequality Between
The Rich and Poor is an underlying
basis of the book The Hunger Games
Inequality between characters of the
book were found between the: Capitol
and Districts, Districts themselves,
and the wealth of individuals

4. Thesis Statement
In Suzanne Collins novel The Hunger Games,
characters experience an inequality between the
rich and poor which portrays an overall theme
throughout the book; and without this theme the
book would not have the same affect on readers.

5. Supporting Points

Districts
The 12 Districts
Those With
or Without
Money
Inequality between….

6. Inequality Between Capitol
and Districts
POINT #1
There is a large gap of
inequality between the
Capitol and the Districts
Due to the wealth of the
Capitol, they have
control over the 12
Districts

7. PROOF
“Taking the kids from our
districts, forcing them to kill one
another while we watch - this is
the Capitol’s way of reminding
us how totally we are at their
mercy.”
- Katniss Everdeen
COMMENT
12 District’s are. Being wealthy allows the Capitol to have power,

8. POINT #2
The wealth of the Capitol allows them to
have access to advanced technology
compared to the Districts
PROOF
“Two hundred miles per hour and you can barely feel a
thing. I think it’s one of the wonderful things about this
opportunity, that even though you’re here and even
though it’s just for a little while, you get to enjoy all this!”
- Effie Trinket
COMMENT
moving vehicle travel so fast. There is a huge difference between

9. Inequality Between the
12 Districts
There are also wealth differences between
the number of the Districts
The higher the District you are, the poorer
you, and the less advantage you have in
the games
POINT #1

10. PROOF
Career
Tributes,
the kids
from the
rich districts
one to four,
have
teamed up
to pick off
the weak
contestants
. This
included
the players
from the
poor
districts…
COMMENT
The lower districts are considered the ‘rich
districts’, and being in a lower district gives you an
advantage when it comes to the games.

11. POINT #2
‘Rich districts’ have an advantage over the
higher number districts as the tributes are
trained all their lives to win the Hunger
Games
PROOF
“The tributes from District 1 are Careers. Careers
train hard for the Games and volunteer to compete as
tributes. They are usually overconfident, like most of
the Careers, but this does not matter for them, for
they are so well trained, that they can immediately
change their attitude if needed.”
COMMENT
plus the needed training in order to be successful at the Games.

12. Inequality Between Those
With or Without Money
POINT #1
District 12 is said to be
the poorest of all the
Districts
Within this poor
district, there is still
inequality

13. PROOF COMMENT
Within District 12 there
is a black market /
grocery area called The
Hob. People of District
12 are able to purchase
goods, although not
everyone is able to
purchase these goods
due to a lack of funds.
The fact that not all
members of District 12
are able to participate
in what the District has
to offer demonstrates
the inequality between
each region.

14. POINT #2 The annual tesserae
“Once a child has claimed
PROOF
they can collect oitle asnsde rgarea,in rations
once a month for a year. This,
however, is not enough to ensure
survival as many still require money
for basic needs such as rent, soap,
thread, and candles. Tesserae entries
are cumulative, therefore the number
of reaping entries from the current
COMMENT year are carried over into the next.”
Every time that an individual applies for tesserae, their
names goes into the reaping, and is carried over from year
to year. If a family has money and can afford the basic
needs, there is no need to apply for the annual tesserae,
thus making it less likely to get chosen to compete in the
Hunger Games.

15. Conclusion
The theme of Inequality
Between The Rich and
Poor is one of the many
themes throughout the
book trilogy series
Without this prevalent
theme, the affect on
readers would have not
been the same without the
diversity
