The Hunger Games

What will society be like in 1,000 or 2,000 years?  The book The Hunger Games makes us think about that question. English Professor Laura Taggett led an open discussion on this novel where the lead character, Katniss Everdeen, struggles to survive in a society that has come out of a "dark age". What is happening in the world at that time? How do people relate to one another?  The book, and subsequently the movie, shows what might be. Click Here to see some of the talking points.
