All of us know the roman gladiator games, which are famous for danger and a bloody, unfair death.
These gladiator- fights are very horrible thinks and no one can realy think of that and their feelings. But we all know how people behave on reality TV, because they tell and show us many things about themselves or their feelings, even if we are not realy interested in that.
But is there a link between reality TV, gladiator games and The Hunger Games? Are these things only old ideas dressed in new clothes ?
In my opinion YES, not at all but a bit. Especially the gladiators can be compaired with the tributes.
Booth of them are choosen and are not in the games becaue they want to, which is because of an unfair power system.
Even if the hunger games play in the future, there are as old weapons as in the middleage, like spears and swords.
An other equal aspect is that only one "player" can survive, which also can be a littlebit compaired with reality TV shows, which only have one winner.
But the main fact is that all of them are to entertain other people.
People who dont care about the ones, they follow on live TV. Still people, who watch reality TV can not at all be copaired with those, who like games, wich kill people.
