Last week I discussed how I enjoy reading books before they are made into movies. This week, I will continue the theme. The Hunger Games franchise recently came to an end when the final movie came out last week. I grew up reading these books and thoroughly enjoyed all of the movies as well. A few weeks ago I was learning about social media and how people and companies use social media success to contribute to actual success. One young girl in a Frontline interview linked this to The Hunger Games, comparing the two to the fact that in the arena of the games, tributes have to get people to like them in order to gain sponsors and gifts by silver parachute. Although this is way more extreme, social media follows the same guidelines; in order to be successful on social media, content produced has to be liked and valued by others. The young girl spends hours each day tweeting and helping promote the franchise for fun, Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire devotes her life to the rebellion of killing President Snow. Although both different scenarios, the important message is to follow your passion and work towards a goal. The Hunger Games trilogy helps empower young girls to never give up.
