SEXXXY Paragraphs in the hunger games', 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 privilege we can see the idea of privilege reflected in the physical environments of District 12, the buildings are worn out, broken and not secure where as the buildings in the Capitol show modern deign, variation in materials are built on a grand scale. This makes audience think about the differences in wealth and power between the two locations. District 12 has nothing whilst people in the Capitol are safe and secure in their advances 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 Capitol we see futuistic palette of metallic greys, blacks and silvers. The use of settings and colour effectivley show us the imblance of privilege in places like District 12 and the Capitol.
