Oddly enough that this movie comes out March 23rd but I made a lot of connections from this book (The Hunger Games) to The Sparrow.
The districts can be seen as the Runa in The Sparrow and the capital can be presented as the Jan'ata. The capital controls the districts much like the Jan'ata control the Runa. The capital uses the districts as a form of entertainment at the districts expense and the capital lives in a life of richness as the majority of districts struggle to get by. Although there are a lot more districts then there are members of the capital, the capital seem to remain in power just like the Runa and the Jan'ata. In both books, the evil that those in power demonstrate are examples of banal evil. Their evil has become a normal thing in both societies. The districts follow and obey the capital much like the Runa do. They are both part of a society where the instant someone is born, they are already a mere object that those in power own and use to their own benefit. Much like the Runa did, the districts form some type of a riot against the capital in attempt to overthrow them which resulted in a lot more people getting killed and hurt in the process- this goes for both books. The evil presented in both books from those in power is so ordinary that no one seems to question it or doubt it. Instead, they conform to it and obey whatever they are told to do. The capital 'trains' the districts in a manner where once they are a part of the hunger games, they will be good enough to put on an entertaining show with twists and surprises, in comparison to the Runa being bred just to satisfy the Jan'ata.
