Definition: Theme of ‘Rich vs Poor’

It is more than just money, it is about who has more power,
privilege and opportunities. 

Rich:

• President Snow, District 1, Caesar, Capitol.
• Capitol- don’t get reaped for the Hunger Games, 
• Food- plenty, excessive, variety, 
• Clothing- cleaner, brighter, designer, new outfit every day,
• privilege of choice to co-ordinate what they wear,
• they have choice. 
• Buildings- bigger, different materials, not worn down, architecture is modern,
• example of power and privilege. 
• Technology- more advanced, they have airships, trains, they have tracking technology,
• medical technology- blood scanners, healing balms. 
• Children- get presents, get to play, don’t work, don’t worry. 

Poor

• District 12, District 11
• District 12- 
• Buildings- broken, not very secure, holes in roofs, made from wood, small, don’t have access to materials to make anything better,
• don’t have a lot of power. 
• Clothing - brand, worn out, raggedy, not a lot of variety, old-style, boys best outfits- broken shirts, button-up, trouser/shorts/ suspenders,
• shows us that their clothes don’t always fit properly, hand me downs, Girls best clothes- dresses, shirts/skirts, not a good fit.
• Coal miners- black, grey, dark colours don't show as much dirt
• Technology- medicines- we don’t see any, we do see sick people, shows the privilege of being healthy, transport- walking, an electric fence doesn’t work-
• not enough energy to run it. 
• Food-not enough scarce, hunting for it, rations, put your name into the reaping for extra food. 
• Children- they have to work, no time to play- can play but pushing sticks in the mud, scared being reaped for the Hunger Games, not a lot of choice for future jobs- most will be coal miners

SEXXXY Paragraphs 

In the ‘Hunger Games’, the setting is used effectively to show the theme ‘Rich vs Poor’. Rich vs Poor is more than just money, it is about who has more power, privilege and opportunities. 

For instance, we can see the idea of privilege reflected in the physical environments of District 12 and the Capitol. In District 12, the buildings are worn out, broken down and not secure
whereas the buildings in the Captiol show modern design, variation in materials and are built on a grand scale. This makes the audience think about the differences in wealth and power between the two locations.
District 12 has nothing whilst people in the Captiol are safe and secure in their advanced buildings. The purpose of this was to show that Katniss Everdeen has come from a place of less
privilege and power so her success in the games is very unlikely. 

Coinciding with this is the use of colour. In District 12 there are lots of browns and greens whilst in the Captiol we see a futuristic palette of metallic greys, blacks and silvers.
\ The use of settings and colour effectively show us the
imbalance of privilege between those living in places like District 12 and the Captiol. 

Street Art

1) Why do we look at street art? Why do we stop when we see it? What is our reaction?

We look at street art because it is eye-catching and is most of the time “out of place”.

We stop to look at it because it is eye-catching and it is interesting to look at and it helps us
understand the real picture when we stop and have a good look at it.  

Personally, my reaction is fascinated because of the scale of a lot of the paintings including these
ones below. 

2) Why do we need and use visual symbols around us?

Having visual symbols helps people so much, in ways that it helps everything flow well in the
form of traffic lights
or it can help communication between everyone and it also makes people's l
ife so much easier and makes everything so much easier to understand.
Having paintings everywhere brightens our city up so much and it makes it look so much more colourful.  

3) What are examples of common visual symbols in our environment?
  Stoplight stop sign bathroom no go excite sign  give way bike line bus line  

What kinds of mural images add interest to the city? 

Most of the murals add interest to the city but to be the ones with
bright and high contrast colours that pop the most and also the ones that look just out of the ordinary,
like one of the elephants and the big BB-8 painting add the most interest to me. Also,
there are the ones that take up a large scale like ones that are put onto big walls that Cavour
the whole thing and catch attention. 

Interpret how they express different ideas than other visual signs and/or advertising.
What does good street art do for the community?

All of the murals have different visual signs like one of the wolves facing each other added
with the background. It gives me the feeling that they are friends (friendship) and there are many others
with different meanings like that. And good street art is good for the
community because it makes the place more bright and all of it is painted in good places
where you could say needed colour because a building was lost there or it was dull. 

• What were you meant to learn? 

About different street art and where and how they look.

• What did you enjoy about this process? 

Learning and seeing or the other street arts around Christchurch.

I have seen a few but these ones are cool.

• What do you think you will do next?

Sketching and drawing some street art
