饥饿游戏 问题

Why do 你 think that Suzanne Collins left the history of Panem and the 前一个 Games so ambiguous and open ended?

As we all well know, Suzanne Collins does not go into a lot of detail about the Dark Days 或者 the 前一个 Hunger Games. Sure, we know the victors out of some of them thanks to Catching Fire, but while we know about the 50th Quarter Quell, I don't remember any mention of the 25th (the first) Quarter Quell, nor do we ever get any information about the very first Hunger Games, and obviously that's something that's gong to be very big in the History of the Games, and it's strange that the Capitol would never look back on them every Quell, making it much 更多 like the Game 显示 that it is. I find it somewhat annoying because while it would be nice to know how every Hunger Games went up to the 74th, I wouldn't want all of them , yet I'd still like to know certain things about them. One of the 流行的 问题 about the Trilogy is why it's called the Hunger Games at all, and one of the 答案 was that we don't know just how many people have actually died of hunger in the Games, and this is where it would be nice to have some historical context to look back on and investigate. What is more, when it comes to the Dark Days and the Great War, I find this to be the most annoying of all not because we don't know what exaclty happened, but because we don't know what happened to the rest of the world. This is where Dystopia gets a little effy simply because the 作者 dosen't want to take the time to mention 'While this is happening here, in this country, this is happened' 或者 something like that; one 问题 that often floats around is why other countries haven't intervened in this, because America, as much as people dislike it, is a leading nation and if it just goes off the grid, people are going to ask questions. Also, how long has President Snow been president exactly? I mean the guys pretty old, and I could probably see him being old enough to have sustained 74 Hunger Games, but that would put him at least in his 90s, no condition to be president at all; so would it not be

In the 25th Quarter Quell, tributes were voted in 由 their districts instead of being chosen at random.

Apparently, hunger and exposure are the biggest killers. The ones featured in the 图书 just happened to be particularly violent ones. That explains the name.

The 图书 mention global disasters before the Dark Days. I assume most of the rest of the world was either destroyed 或者 in a similar state to Panem, too weak to interfere.

I think that Suzanne left the history of Panem and the Games open ended, because she wanted her readers to picture the history and create what the games were. I don't think she wanted to mention EVERY single detail, because then 你 wouldn't be able to have an imagination. But I do understand why 你 would want to know this information and why 你 think it is so important.

I too, wondered why 'The Hunger Games' was called just that. I researched this, and I found an answer. The member who responded had 说 that 'The Hunger Games' was directed at hunger for two reasons, one of them being that if 你 won 'The Hunger Games', 你 would win a lifetime supply of food, which the people in the Districts (especially District 12 and 11), didn't have ready-at-hand. The 秒 reason is that some of the tributes had died of starvation in the arena, as 你 had said.
