Hungry for Some Hunger Games?

I know. It took me forever to get these up. I was so eager to discuss this trilogy, and I'm already forgetting parts of the books! This only happens because I'm reading so much and so quickly. But I'm hoping you all will help me out here.

If you don't see any thing you want to discuss, by all means please add on. These are just a few things that I thought would be interesting to discuss. I'll give you a few days (of course, with my timing, who knows how much "few" means these days) to think things out, and then I'll begin answering a couple at a time.

1. What do you think is the cruelest part of the Hunger Games?

2. Do you see any parallels between the Games and the society that condones them, and other related events and cultures in the history of the world?
