Comparison of the hunger games book and the movie
(Highlights)
The hunger games
Written by Suzanne Collins
Summary:
In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided between 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games is broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives.
The comparison and similarities of the movie and the book
They both take place in Capitol. Capitol is a highly advanced metropolis that holds absolute power over the rest of the nation. The difference is that the book is set inside the arena where Katniss and Peeta battle in the Hunger Games. The movie has behind the scenes moments that is set outside the Arena.
In the book Katniss receives the gold mocking jay pin – a token that will later define her – from her friend Madge on the other hand, ( in the movie) Katniss receives the pin from her mom, who says Katniss late father, “always loved the mocking jays”
In the book, Gale Hawthorne is Katniss Everdeen’s best friend in district 12, the coal mining district on the outskirts of the country. The two hunt together and divide up the game that they catch. Although there’s no overt romance in the relationship, Katniss continually evaluates her feelings for him. But when she is sent to compete in the games-where she faces off against 23 intense competitors – Gale is left behind. While Katniss thinks about him during the games, the story never shows him after the games
