Description
Summary:"The Hunger Games" was originally published in United States in 2008, and launched in Brazil in 2010. The two central questions that support this article are that (1) the media took the notion of youth as a metaphor of revolution, without saying, from this, that such reference has been created by it and (2) youth becomes a metaphor of entertainment, and not only that one which entertains itself and has fun. This work, therefore, aims to analyze this trilogy as a possible social representation of youth from what is overlaid by it, i.e., revolution and entertainment.
