In our class on-line discussion, Heather asked us about what themes or "connotations" 1984 and Hunger Games evoke. I certainly would say that 1984 is a cautionary tale of what can happen if people don't stand together and rebel against such types of thought/social control and Hunger Games has a similar message but is more optimistic in that it asserts an individual's commitment to her own ideas and ways of being are sufficient for starting a revolution.
I wanted to title this post with the quote from 1984, because I think it simply denotes the theme that what makes the human mind unique IS its ability to be unpredictable.
