Panem and the U.S have a few things in common like their location, they both have a capitol city, they also have a large military force. But they have many more things that are different like their civil laws. Panem and the U.S.A have a many things that are totally opposite in how they run their country and how they treat their peoples.
The U.S.A gives all of its citizens fair chances and the citizens choose who runs the government. Panem treats their lower class citizens like slaves and the President of their country is not chosen the by the public but by the wealthiest people in the capitol. But in some cases they are the same their head leader is called a president their labor force are their citizen. Money is one thing of the thing that brings us closer in similartites. I Panem money is divied unequaly the capitol's citizens have all the money while the districs have little to no money. In the U.S.A were you live has little to no affect to the amount of money you earn. Yet we have Wealthy people and the middle class and the lower class. So in a sense we are very connected while very different.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more

Are you referring to Panama? I can say I've never heard of Panam
ReplyDeleteI definitely appreciate this comparison of Panem and the United States. However, I would also like that not all Panem citizens were treated like slaves, just the outlying ones. Great post!
ReplyDeleteGavin the country of Panem is From the Hunger Games seris of books.

ReplyDeleteGood post, Cameron! I like this approach to a reading response, and you make some good points about connections between Panem and the US. I actually see a number of similarities between Panem's system and the system of colonialism that we will talk about later this year and see in the realistic novel _Nervous Conditions_, and I'm interested to see what you think about that. What do you think is behind the similarities and differences between Panem and the US? Why do you think Collins makes them similar in some ways but different in others?
