Creative experience
The motivation for Collins to write The Hunger Games is this: It comes from the inspiration she got when she swept the TV channel one day. The reality show competition in real life and the report on the war are "intertwined and disturbing". The boundary between the two was blurred, so she had the idea of the story. Collins also learned from the story of theseus and Minota, monsters with cow heads in Greek mythology. This myth tells that because of the fault of their ancestors, the Athenians sent seven boys and girls to the maze of Crete every once in a while and gave them to Minota, the monster of the tauren. Collins could already feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of this fairy tale when he was a child. Crete sent a message: "Against us, we will do more cruel things than killing you, and we will kill your children." That's the truth. Parents can only sit back and watch helplessly. Theseus, the son of the King of Athens, volunteered to go to Crete as a sacrifice. Collins thinks Katniss is the future version of theseus. The Pan-American world in the book, especially the capital city, has a deep Roman cultural implication. The gladiator culture in ancient Rome also inspired Collins.

All tributes must fight to the death, and the last survivor is the winner. The arena is a man-made forest and wasteland. The life and death moments such as hunting, stalking, hunger, camouflage and wits-fighting are all broadcast live to the whole country through TV, and everyone must watch them as festivals to celebrate. For Kapit, this is an annual event and a game. For other 12 districts, it is humiliation and torture. Survival is the instinct of 16-year-old Katniss. She barely supports her mother, sister and herself by poaching and collecting wild fruits outside the wall of 12 area. When Kate Nisdale ...
