Abstract

This final project is entitled The Hunger Games Reality Show: A Government Control toward Society through Media in Suzanne Collins‘s The Hunger Games. In this study, I emphasized the discussion on social and political issues and the government control over the society through media. This study carries out two problems; they are (1) What are social and political issues portrayed in the novel? and (2) How does the government control the society through media as reflected in the novel? The data were obtained by reading the novel intensively, identifying, classifying, and selecting the data. Sociological approach is used to analyze the statements of problem from the novel. From the data analysis it can be concluded that (1) The Hunger Games novel portrays social and political issues that happen on American media today (2) there is a gap between upper class and lower class which causes inequality and (3) the lack of freedom causes many problems such as peace less condition and injustice for society.
