The Hunger Games is a great read for teenagers but it also has a powerful message behind it about dictatorships and the power of the people if everyone stands up at once and fights against a dictatorship.
The Hunger Games also shows exacly what we have seen throughout history when younger people are the ones who decide to stand up against goverments when they are being unfair.In The Hunger Games Katniss and Peter stand up to the goverment when they both win tthe hunger games by threatening to kill themselves ig they cant both win this causes a uprising.We also saw this in history when african americans were fighting for their rights and the young college students were the ones who done the sit ins and protests to get blacks equal rights.


This links to todays society because their are protests everyday where young people are protesting for different things that are close to them to try get the government to change and give them the changes they wont in society.

Text Type: Novel
Date Finished: Friday August 25th 2017

Naughts And Crosses is a novel written by Malorie Blackman about a white guy called Callum and a black girl  called Persephone who have been friends since they were toddlers and fell in love when they grew up. But they live in a dystopia where blacks are the dominant race and whites get treated badly so nobody will let them be together but they still try to be together  in secret for their whole lives until Callum got hung for getting Persephone pregnant.


Naughts And Crosses is a entertaining novel with a powerful message behind it. Naughts and Crosses helps show everyone in the world racism is not acceptable towards any race and it dose not matter if your Muslim European Hispanic African American Asian or Polonyesian you should always be able to get along with people and treat people of opposite races with respect because when we are born and when we die we are all only human.


This is extremly important in todays society becasue if two kids living in a racist society can get along we all should be able to get along well in the twenty first century.The message Naughts and Crosses shows  is important in todays society becuase some people are forgetting how lucky we are and racist protests are happening in Charlotte and all around the world today and  we all need to be reminded to keep the piece  we have in the world today.
