Background Year: 2020 America has become a declining power in an ever-changing world, America has a 60% poverty level, increasing every day. Every day immigrants from far flung nations come to America, however with space growing limited these immigrants so the American government set up competition to control ever increasing population, However the only immigrants legally allowed to enter the country are immigrants from the age of 7 to 17 because they are of the deprived working age. The "tournaments" are a number of challenges to test the children's ability to fight one another; they are tested in areas such as: Mountains, Swamps, Forests, Deserts and Arctic Tundras. However the children are not alone in these challenges, the U.S. government supplies the children with fire arms, and standard military training. Questions: How do you like my writing? What do you think I should add to the background?
Oh no, that's the symbolism. And regarding the thread, I'm asking about the content it's self, not the spelling. Every chef makes mistakes.
Every chef makes mistakes. But only rarely does the chef mistake salt for flour, add borax instead of sugar, and deliberately replace the water with motor oil. Your idea is a blatant ripoff of the Hunger Games, with almost no background and nothing compelling about the idea. I wouldn't mind a story similar to the Hunger Games if there was something unique about it, something making it worth reading. However, what little you wrote about your idea has nothing that makes me want to read it. It's just a ripoff which uses a slightly different background story.
Not really Vulpine. Unless Suzanne Collins is lying, she never heard of Battle Royale until after she released the first book; she says she got the idea from a Greek myth. Even if, I think her book is sufficiently different in tone and focus that I'd hesitate to call it a ripoff.
