Similarities Involving Social Ritual and Ceremony in The Hunger Games and The Lottery

Everdean bluntly told the only excuse that missed "harvest": "As long as you are not at the door of death, attendance is mandatory" (Collins, 16). If someone is trapped in the house during harvest, they are arrested and brought back to the Parliament for torture. The result of missing the lottery suggests a similarity to missing "harvest". If someone misses the lottery, there is an excuse to not be there, so other people have to pull for that person. In the story, Clyde Dunbar painted for him because his legs were broken and could not paint for himself, so his wife painted for him.

"Lottery" is very similar to the story of Suzanne Collins's "starving game". In both stories, death and violence are easily regarded as ordinary and need to survive. Both "lottery" and "starving game" have the power to ignore what others are doing. Although it is different from the "lottery", it eventually dies, but in "starvation game" the result leads to survivors. Therefore, the motivation for death is different in each sentence, motivation is survival in "starving game", motive is tradition in "lottery". The theme of "Hunger Games" is a sacrifice. Throughout the book, Katnis paid a lot of sacrifice for her volunteer service to commemorate her sister Primm to sacrifice the broken needs to survive. The theme of "lottery" is tradition. Each year the lottery, the same box, the same violent way, no change is done
