This question originally appeared on Quora. By Mike Barnard Associate Partner, Application Innovation Services, and Business Architect, Ibm Gbs Question Details: An article argues that The Hunger Games "misses the mark" on violence because children and Katniss herself killed each other. It seems as if the author thinks that the children should've tried to resolve their conflicts through more peaceful means. Read the article here Well, I personally think the point at which Mr. King derails whatever argument he was establishing is when he says:
I worry that not everyone reading the book or seeing the movie understands that the Capitol is wrong for creating the games, the citizens are wrong for watching them, and the kids are wrong for killing in them. I fear that in the rush to embrace the "games," people will forget that that the point of the Hunger Games is for kids to kill kids.
