Big question

Is oppression a bad thing? In the story  "The Hunger Games" the characters find themselves in a post-American distopia, where they must fight for survival each year in the capitals sick game. The people designated by the capital choose a boy and girl tribute from each of the 12 districts. Ironically enough no one from the capital is involved in the fighting. They force the 24 tributes to parade in front of the citizens of the capital, trying to gain sponsors, they then undergo a week of rigorous training and then they are sent to face the unknown. The tributes must do some awful things in order to survive, the capitals oppression makes them do things no ordinary citizen would ever want to do. They have to kill people and eat animals raw, they must ignore their basic needs for survival in an attempt to out smart and out kill the others. If the games are going slow, the capital randomly selects a tribute and kills them in a gruesome manner. oppression makes people do things they shouldnt have to do and dont want to do, so it is bad.

sneetches

The sneetches On the beaches is an allegory about acceptance. Acceptance is key for society, when people start thinking they are better then one another that is when things like persecution happen. If people do things like this then those that are persecuted will be divided so they don't have to be the ones who get the brunt of the  discrimination. Those that are discriminated against should focus on sticking together and being self sufficient, so when  the oppressors try to separate them, they fail and maybe will accept their individuality. People just need to accept each other for who they are so problems like this do not occur, because often those that have the audacity to point out someone else mistakes, have problems and insecurities of their own that need to be dealt with. People over all should be more open to one another and not judge so freely because they might not understand that everyone has imperfectons so no one is better than the next.
