Hunger Games book report
The Hunger Games The book and the movie The Hunger Games are both adventurous and suspenseful. The book was written by author Suzanne Collins. She is famous for the Hunger Games trilogy. The book was released on September 14, 2008. The movie was released on March 23, 2012. Both the book and the movie are great. However, there are many differences between them two. There are many big, key differences between the book and the movie. First of all, in the book, most of the book is set in the Arena where Katniss Everdeen and Peeta battle in the Hunger Games. In the movie, it has many scenes outside of the Arena where the movie shows Haymitch, Everdeen’s and Peeta’s mentor. Also, another difference is that the reader cannot see what the viewers in a movie can see because the book is told from the perspective of Everdeen, whereas the movie is told from many different perspectives. Another difference is that the book cuts out a part of the movie that can be important. The scene in the movie is where President Snow tells The Gamemaker not to give the players too much hope. In that scene the viewers can see that President Snow is a true villain. There are many differences about the plot, but there are also many differences about the characters too. First, in the book, Everdeen, the main character, has olive skin, grey eyes, and black hair. In the movie, she has white skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. Another main character named Peeta, has blue eyes and blonde hair. In the movie, Peeta has brown eyes and still has blonde hair. Also, in the book Peeta cannot swim but, in the movie it is said that Peeta is able to swim. Peeta’s personality in both the book and the movie is very compassionate and he is in love with Everdeen. Many viewers and readers like Peeta because of his personality. Another character named Gale, Everdeen’s best friend, has olive skin and black hair, the same as Everdeen. In the movie, he also has white skin and brown hair like Everdeen. However, Gale

    I believe the movie was told very differently than the book because a movie director is entertaining a different audience than an author of a book. A director has different goals and thoughts to portray than the original book. The director is given certain artistic freedoms to help better connect with the audience and sometimes that makes the story change a little…

    The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins) focuses on the main character Katniss and her journey to revolt against the corrupt power system of her government the capitol. The ‘Hunger Games’ is a way of controlling those in the capitols power. Comparison “All I can think is how unjust the whole thing is, the Hunger Games. Why am I hopping around like some trained dog trying to please people I hate?” communicates how Katniss feels the Capitol is corrupt and there ‘hunger games’ is a way to exert there power over those they control.

    I think I probably wouldn't be able to survive in the wilderness, much less if people are trying hard to make sure I don't survive until the next day. I am used to getting my food in the supermarket, already processed, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to hunt, kill or even build a fire. But Katniss Everdeen could.…

    The last difference that I'm going to talk about is the themes, or main points, of the book versus the movie. The book was mainly about the hardships that people go through and about the fixing gaps between the rich and the poor. The book expressed the characters emotions and feelings, and the tone is melodramatic and a bit sad. In the movie, however, I don't even…

    The book and movie had quite a few differences. First off, in the beginning of the book, it showed Vernon Dursley was going to work, and saw all these people in robes (wizards) celebrating. Dursley got super annoyed by all this, and also by the owls fluttering all around him. In the movie, it started off with Dumbledore turning off the lights.…
