Hunger games project truth behind the fiction

     In the Hunger Games there is a "force field" around the arena. Force Fields are things that take up empty space and can attract or push away objects. They are usually not very powerful. The "force field makes it tough for matter to pass through it. The "force field" can also be used to levitate things such as small toys ("Force Field" ).
     In the Hunger Games force fields are super powerful. They are also able to kill you by electrifying the person that touches it. It is also used to make sure that none of the tributes can escape the games.
     The Hunger Games also mentions that there are hovercrafts that fly around and can do other stuff. In our world a hovercraft floats on a "skirt" inflated with air. The air push it up so it can hover. Hover crafts do not actually fly ("HOVERCRAFT -facts")
      In the Hunger Games hovercrafts are flying aircraft's. The hover crafts have the ability to go invisible and all the hover crafts are owned by the capitol. The hovercrafts are able to pick up things easily with a metal claw that drops from the hovercraft. They also use hovercrafts to clean up dead bodies in the games.
     Mutations effect an animal in two different ways it effects the organism it's on or its offspring. The "mutation" affects the nucleic acids which are the building blocks of DNA. The effect of a mutation can be harmful, good, or neutral ("Mutation | Learn Science at Scitable" ).
     In the Hunger Games they put mutations as something man made. The capitol can mix DNA of other species together to create a "mutation". The mutations could mate with other natural species and make another different species.
