Obviously
witches are not real. There cannot be
anything like the witch chase and trial because people are a lot smarter
now. No body would even consider it if some
body came up to them on the street a said “Hey!
That chick over there is a witch.”
So there could be no witch chase due to a lack of origin. As a human race we are not that smart. But we
are smart enough to realize that witches aren’t real. One hunt I can think of that relates but a different
kind of witch is hunted down. The hunger
games surprisingly reminds me of a modern day crucible. The girls are searching for a way out. Trying
to use scapegoats and what not. They are trying to free themselves from the
grasps of a greater power. In the hunger
games at first the main character is in it for herself trying to find a way to
make it through. She ends up succeeding and finding a way to live through the
games. And then there is the second story
were all the participants are previous winners and they all just want to start
a revolution and over through the government.
They are similar because in both stories the underdog is using any
technique they can to save their lives and over through the higher powers that
be. But over all we all know that witches and hunger games and real. Everyone knows it. It is all fiction. Our society has grown and learned a ton of
scientific information since the time when this book was written. In many ways we lean on fences built from out
dated morality but when it comes to science there are some things that you can
not argue and the fact that witches are not real is one of them.
you brought up a great argument about witchcraft not being real. if you are speaking from an American perspective than this is true. but I would tell you that witchcraft is real in other parts of the world. being a decedent of an African heritage I can say for sure that witches does exist. I listen to my grandmother and other family member that live there tell stories about how people live in constant fear for their lives. witches is real in other parts of the world.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the witches not being real. I also agree that your relation of the hunger games to the witch hunts is very true. The government controlling the people as if they are different than themselves shows punishment for who they are. There are a lot of examples of modern day witch hunts in our media today, makes you wonder why that is so.
ReplyDeleteI like your relation to the hunger games but I disagree with you that people don’t believe in witches and that they don’t exist. There are religions and culture that believe that they do exist and even though you might not believe in them doesn’t mean others don’t. I know how I was raised I personally do not necessarily believe that they exist but I know people and cultures that do. Good connections though.
