In her article about using humor in library instruction, Billie Walker (2006) notes, “One of the challenges facing the teaching librarian is in reaching students, particularly when they are tired and unmotivated” (p. 123).

The Hunger Games is about the first stirrings of revolutionary consciousness, but its relationship to capitalism is less clear than it might initially appear. Does the Capitol double for capital, or is the form of exploitation in The Hunger Games of a cruder type? Although the Capitol looks at first sight like a metropolitan capitalist society, the mode of power at work in Panem is better described as cyber-feudal.

Example 1:
The Hunger Games is about the beginnings of revolutionary awareness, but its relationship to capitalism is more unclear than it might originally seem. Does the Capitol also mean capital, or is the form of profiteering in The Hunger Games of a more primitive kind? Although the Capitol looks like an urban capitalist world, the type of control in Panem is cyber-feudal.

Example 2:
Although it depicts a society on the verge of revolution, whether The Hunger Games’ society is a capitalist society is debatable. Closer examination of the society reveals a “cyber-feudal” power structure (Fisher 28).

Yet, while Batman and the Joker may not be god or demon, strictly speaking, the comics and films consistently represent the characters in ways charged with divine and demonic symbolism. Moreover, these portrayals are often strikingly reminiscent of the storm god and dragon of the ancient combat myth. A prime example of this portrayal, found in the earliest comics to the recent films, is the iconic image of Batman perched high atop a skyscraper, surveying the city for evildoers to punish."

Example 2:
The depictions of Batman and the Joker in both the films and graphic novels have many parallels to the storm god and dragon found in religious narratives (Nichols 239).
