    Although the book provides great detail, the movie on the other hand lacked this detail. For example in the book Gale was whipped because he was caught poaching. While in the movie he gets punished by tackling a peacekeeper trying to save an innocent old woman. This change would have been made to make Gale look more heroic. Furthermore, as Katniss and Peeta are on their victory tour they see a mockingjay sign in the tunnel on the way to District 11. This was shown in the movie to show how much unrest…

    In most cases when there are two versions of something we can find differences and similarities, such as when a book is made into a movie. An example of this is the book To Kill A Mockingbird which was made into a movie, these two versions are very different but portray the same story. The movie does a good job in presenting the main points of the book but overall the film and the novel are dissimilar more than they are alike. The three main differences are the alterations of major scenes, the absence of characters and the lack of details illustrated in the book.…

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.

Like Katnisse’s viewpoint “Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch – this is the Capitol’s way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy” reveals how those oppressed by the capitols power realise that their lives are controlled by the capitol and they have no option…

    Ladies and gentleman of the jury I find the book mocking jay by Suzanne Collins in 2010 to be very good at keeping me in suspense and keeping me interested. However, there were areas in which the book was not quite as good such as giving all the details, being too violent, and isn’t good for little kids. The book is a good book and I liked it but I didn’t like it as much as I did the first 2 books and this last book disappointed me. I was expecting some amazing ending to the series of the hunger games but I was let down from the things that happened in the book. Mocking jay is just a sad book that doesn’t even seem humane for the capitol to be doing to all of these different districts.…

    Teen Dystopia by Sophie Boyer is an opinionated piece that explains the reason we are so attracted to novels such as The Hunger Games. A reason such a novel is so appealing is because of the action packed plot and powerful symbolism weaved throughout. A story set in future North America, where climate change has destroyed society is where teenagers participate in a gruesome fight to the death called the Hunger Games. That heady combination results to complex yet relatable characters and most of all, a meaningful story. Hence, that is the reason why Boyer regards The Hunger Games as a “well-constructed allegory that also reflects a more realistic portrayal of our world .” Personally, I also admire authors who can create an abstract world so flawlessly that they still remain relatable. Even though The Hunger Games takes place in a different time period; where the world is overly violent, it leads to a new social awareness. As Boyer pointed out, “this awareness leads to a more tragic understanding of the world, but never without the hope of a better future.” When I read The Hunger Games it felt like it was situated in a world so seemingly different from ours, that I didn’t realise until the end, that it is based on a bit of reality. The Hunger Games highlights social issues of poverty, devaluing human life, and classism to make us aware that it still exists in the world, our world. Overall, The Hunger Games is a book that reveals the depressing reality of some places in the world, yet Boyer and I believe that The Hunger Games sends a good message to us readers: to live life to the fullest and never take life for granted.…

    Suzanne Collins ' novel, The Hunger Games and George Orwell 's 1984 both illustrate the theme that hope can remain alive even amid the most hopeless of circumstances. The main characters of these stories, Hunger Games ' Katniss Everdeen and 1984 's Winston Smith live in similar totalitarian societies where every move they make or thought they have is controlled by an all-powerful government. Although they are very different types of people, they have in common a streak of rebelliousness toward the societies they live in. Both harbor hopes of rising up against it in some way. While Katniss ' hopes center around her desire to provide a better life for her family, Winston has dreams of being able to revolt against his oppressors and lead a life of freedom.

    One difference was the missing of characters such as Aunt Alexandra who was present in the novel but absent during the film. Aunt Alexandra was an important detail in portraying the main themes. The absence of Aunt Alexandra made a dent in the film which was impossible to miss. Atticus and Calpurnia are the main connection between the black and white societies. In the novel, Aunt Alexandra is the reason Jem and Scout get used to her old South customs. She constantly lectures Scout for being careless about her superior position to society. She also lectures them the traditional Southern ideas. Although she constantly reminds them that they are Finches and that they should present themselves in a better matter, Scout mocks her and doesn’t obey. With this missing character in the film, it changes the whole concept of the message given off to the reader in the…

    The basic similarities are a strong female lead and both take place in a dystopian society. Tris in Divergent and Katniss in The Hunger Games are two brave, rebellious sixteen-year olds, who endure an oppressive government and fight for the freedom of themselves and their society. The Districts (The Hunger Games) are set up from a failed civil war whereas Factions (Divergent) was set up more as a Utopian society. Districts are divided by resources while Factions are divided by personalities. Both books are very interesting and have grabbed the attention of young, teen readers (like myself).…
