My writing topic is about force fields and how they can connect to the Hunger Games and the outside world. Force fields are kinda like traps or prisons they keep you stuck inside away from everyone else. In the Hunger Games even though there isn't an actual one keeping everyone inside the Capitol can be kind of like a force field. The Capitol doesn't let anyone in the districts have their freedoms that they deserve. They have to fight for their survival inside the metaphorical cage the Capitol has put them in. The Capitol is the 12 districts invisible wall (University of Oxford. "Force Field." Http://www.wordreference.com) that keeps them where the Capitol wants them to be.
Another connection to the outside world with force fields can be Dictators that have complete rule which is exactly like the Hunger Games. Dictators can have a hold on everyone with an imaginary force field even though it isn't real it still keeps you doing what they tell you to do without having a choice or opinion about it. It kind of relates to the outside world like North Korea. They are forced to stay inside and are cut off from the outside world.
A force field is like a prison and a prison is technically what the 12 Districts are in because of the Capitols actions. Force fields have many different connections to the outside world and the Hunger Games. Force fields keep you trapped inside away from everyone else,limit you to what you can do, and they pin you in one area without hope of escaping. The Capitol in a way is just like a force field they keep all the districts inside and keep them all at an inhabitable way of living("Force Field." Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia)
Force fields have many more connections but those are some of the main connections they have to the outside world and the Hunger Games. I see force fields as more of a concept of imprisonment than the actual dome like structure. All in all the Capitol is in a way a big imaginary force field to the districts and anyone who opposes them.
