Which is worse: a
dystopian world which is basically a nightmare where you can escape or Hell,
where you can never escape? Thinking about terrible, heart-breaking dystopian
worlds reminds you of Hell. The heartache of unimaginable events in a dystopian
world is just a grain of sand compared to Hell, but who said dystopian worlds
weren't disastrous?
Dystopian world: a
world where things are basically messed up. Some people may think our world is
filled with tragic events which it is, but once they read all the books that
have to deal with government control, society, fighting for freedom, and other unconceivable
situations. A book that sums up all of
these problems and is an example of a dystopian is The Hunger Games.
Katniss doesn't like
the world that she's living in. In fact, she hates it. "I never want to
have kids." (Page 9) This shows that she doesn't want her kids to suffer
the wrath of the Hunger Games. "Gale holds up a loaf of bread…it's real bakery
bread" (Page 7) Panem, the Capital, starves others for their own good.
Having food shows high class. You see, in the book, everyone else is poor but
citizens of the Capital. They are wealthy and in need of entertainment. This
book reminds us and gives us the reality check we need. One reality check we
all need is the thought of a 50/50 chance of us going to Hell.
Hell: a place all of us humans are frightened of. No one on
this Earth knows what Hell is like, but we all imagine what it could be. What's
the first image that comes up in your head when someone says Hell? Close our
eyes. What do you see? Some imagine a fire-filled world: "Then death and
Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second
death."- Revelation 20:14. Others imagine darkness: "For if God did
not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in
chains of darkness to be held for judgments."- 2 Peter 2:4. Both are
correct.
These two
"worlds" may seem alike to some, they do have similarities. Even in a
dystopian world filled with hatred and heartless people and an indescribable,
yet frightening place called Hell. Everyone is intimidated by Hell. The way
it's described gives anyone the chills; darkness, unknown, death. While some
are afraid of darkness and others are afraid of spiders, I for one am afraid of
Hell.
