Hungers Games And Poverty.

 




         The Hunger Games  connects to Poverty in so many ways. Poverty is when there are people who are poor and who doesn't have any money. In the Hunger Games Katniss, and her faily where poor or lived in poverty. Kids who live in poverty don''t get alot of benifits or things to eat. Some forege for themselves, like Katniss in the hunger games she her mother didn't have a job so she was forced on the roll of being a hunter.("Equal Opertunitie's For Kids." )
      In todays society People want poverty to end because it's just not fair for kids and adults. In the Hunger games they feel the same way but insted of the government helping the tributes or the poor, the poor or lower class people had thier name drawn to fight in the hunger games, and who ever one got to have a life time supply of food for thier family.("How to End Hunger in the U.S. - Bread for the World: Have Faith. End Hunger.")
      Microfinance is also menchond in the Hunger Games but the word itself is not. Microfinance is when a person or a family has a low income or no income at all. In this case Katiss's family had very low income and she had to hunt almost every day to help feed her family. She wasn't a grown up and she had t help feed her sister and mother. Today kids who are 6 years old are feeding thier little brothers or sisters or even thier own family's(Stern).
