S2E16: Saydee and Lainie Review "The Hunger Games" as America Today

It used to be fictional names like Katniss Everdeen, or Winston Smith, or Guy Montag. Now it’s Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. It used to be dystopian fiction, but now it feels every day like dystopian reality. This week, Honors English continues our work with social commentary, and two of my brightest voices, Saydee and Lainie, asked to review The Hunger Games as a cautionary tale for the culture they’re living in right now. The Hunger Games is a warning, and it’s a question, and it’s a test of who we are when power grows louder and opposition grows quiet. With Honors is a Free Zone Radio production.
