The trilogy we know and love as The Hunger Games has taught people to this day about what it means to be brave, undeniably selfless, and in some cases, a little fiesty in order to stand up to what you believe in. From its release of the final movie, “Mockingjay Part 2” in December of 2016, the fire of the fandom has sadly, but slowly, began to burn out.

This cram packed series of heart churning twists is nothing that should be lost within the generations. In the worst of all the districts, living a below-terrible lifestyle, with hardly anything, Katniss Everdeen risks her own life in order for her young sister to be hidden from the misery The Games would bring. It shows clear as day that no matter the circumstance, you can always be altruistic if it means enough to you as an individual. In this generation, anything desirable is given to people prosperously. If we were to lose the value of novels such as The Hunger Games we would lose the sense of the dark and bad times the world has uncovered, and how we can learn to cope with it on our own.

Throughout The Games in which Katniss participates, the goal is so much broader than to just come home a victor. Within even the death of people closest to her, she honors them with respect and follows her own path by doing so. She goes against the laws in hope to give people a better life, even if it were to be at the cost of her own. Although The Hunger Games is now 10 years old, it could never be too overrated to overlook. Reading the book in school would display a sense of value and magnanimous acts to children, in which they will remember for the rest of their lives.
