24. Why is a Dystopian Society
Dystopian Societies aren’t just nerve-racking
films, they are also people’s
perspectives of their fears and how
they don’t want that to happen.
Dystopias are like vegetables. There
are those who like it and the myriad
that don’t.
A perfect example is The Hunger
Games, only the few rich and powerful
people enjoy it and the less fortunate
people struggle for their lives in either
the games or at home.
