Assumptions and Me as a Reader.

After re-reading my response on why The Hunger Games and The Wizard of Oz are why they are similar and considered to be “American Fairytales”, my assumptions before and after are pretty much the same. I talked about how The Hunger Games is a more realistic and logical version of The Wizard of Oz, and even though some might disagree, the storyline and parts of the story are strangely similar even when they’re in completely different sides of the genre spectrum. The story of The Wizard of Oz is more straightforward, where everything happens after the next, whilst The Hunger Games involves more of internal feelings and emotions because of the reality of it.

I tend to look more to the side of stories that delve deep into insane psychological experiences. A good example would be between The Wizard of Oz and The Hunger Games. I’d choose The Hunger Games over the other simply because it’s not so straightforward. It makes me question more of the storyline itself rather than expecting what will definitely happen. Aside from that, reading for me when I can find a good book, feels more personal. It doesn’t matter how many people have read that book, or how popular it is, but there’s a sense of feeling where you’re completely submerged into the story itself.
