Competition-Theme Connection
The theme in the story "Hunger Games" is competition. The whole game and point is for all the contestants to compete with each other until death- which is sure to come- for food, water, and weapons(supplies). The contestants might have to injure each other in order to survive. They team up with other members(usually from their Districts if they are alive) and that's for their own benefit. But when the time comes they'll have to kill each other still. They hunt for food and if anyone gets in their way they go in combat and the fighting begins. Of course some people will have more food than the others, so the others will try to destroy their food so they're left with none or steal it. It's not as easy as it seems though. Because even if you survive you might be injured and you cant find food easily if you don't get cured and eventually starve to death. So the contestants compete for the sponsors too. They try to make the game more interesting so the sponsors will send them the supplies they need to survive. So the whole Hunger Games is about competition and surviving all these dangerous task that lie ahead of this poor kids.

Snape's unfairness
Snape is under the impression that Harry is stealing things from him. I dont like how professor Snape treats Harry like a piece of garbage. He is as equal as everybody else and he doesn't have the right to accuse Harry for something without knowing if he really did it. The fact that things are missing from his storage room is not Harry's fault but without knowing he blames him. And it's not the first time that Snape does that. He also has the habit of taking house points from him. It doesn't mean that because his father wasn't a friend to Snape, and actually an enemy, it means that he has to behave like that towards us. It's really unfair for Harry because he is always blamed for things he never did and it's unacceptable that he gets this kind fo bullying from a teacher especially. Also Malfoy is Snape's favorite and he always gives points to him even if he didnt do anything and awlways takes Malfoy's side when he is fighting with Harry.

Fudge's Stubborness
Fudge was too stubborn to understand. Dumbledore gave him all that information he needed to realize that Voldemort had returned and proved to him that there was living proof but he didn't seem to understand. Dumbledore told Fudge that if he didnt't take extreme measures now it would be too late. Voldemort would gather all the dark creatures he could find (Dementors, Giants, Death Eaters,etc) and turn them all on his side so that they would help him complete the quest he had wanted to finish 13 years ago. But Cornelius continued to worry about his job and that he would be fired if he told that nonsense to the others. He was blinded by the love of the office he holded. He place too much importance on the "purity of blood". He failed to realize that it doesn't matter what someone is born but what they grow to be. He was too ambitious towards his job and didn't pay attention to what really was happening around him. He was so blinded that he even believed what Rita Skeeter wrote in her articles. He had living proof in front of him (Dumbledore, Harry, and Barty Crouch JR.) but he denied to even listen to what they said. J.K Rowling used this example to show that even wizards have a huge ambitioun just like humans for their jobs, and in times of difficulty they don't see clearly. I am sure Cornelius Fudge will find out that what Dumbledore told him was true, but it will be too late to change what has been done.
