Analysis Of The Book ' 1984 ' And ' The Hunger Games '

The first similarity found between 1984 and The Hunger Games is the authority figures that have control over the public. . In 1984, their form of the police, The Thought Police, watch over citizens daily lives, to see how they act and live, to make sure no person is even slightly different than anyone else. These though police are known to be able to read minds, and can convict you of even thinking the wrong thing. In The Hunger Games, the government has a police force called Peacekeepers. Peacekeepers work in different districts to keep all citizens in check. The Peacekeepers are known to be rough and dangerous. In both novels, it is apparent that the police forces instituted by the societies government, are extremely invasive and improper towards citizens. However, this is exactly what the governments in both novels need in order to have complete control over citizens. They are very willing to do whatever it takes to be superior to their citizens.

For this report, the differences and similarities between 1984 by George Orwell and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins will be analyzed through comparison and contraction. This essay will focus on the differences and similarities of the toleration dictator/leader/group, the classic dystopian protagonist, and the psychological manipulation and torture of the protagonist. Discussing these topics are important as they all contribute to the works as a whole. The criteria that will decide which fiction “won” a topic will be how well the idea or theme was carried throughout the book/movie, and which fiction showcased this idea/theme better.

“ In the United States today approximately 15 to 20 percent are in the poor, lower class; 30 to 40 percent are in the working class; 40 to 50 percent are in the middle class; and 1 to 3 percent are in the rich, upper class.” The novel 1984 written by George Orwell is a dystopian novel about a man named Winston Smith, who struggles to find individuality in an oppressive government, that scrutinizes every human action of their citizens. The second novel is The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collin, this novel is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers for her sister in an event that the government created to keep control of their citizens. Both these novels are built on a hierarchy with a totalitarian dictator. In The Hunger Games and 1984, these novels address the injustice of social hierarchy, destructive nature of the government, and the dangers of abusive powers. These novels are showing what could possibly happen to today’s society if the power ends up leading to corruption.

The Hunger Games focuses on a dystopian society in which there exist distinct social classes and cruel acts perpetrated by the acting government. Panem, the nation established in the territory of the former United States, contains a special cultural event driven by the control exerted on the people: the titular Hunger Games. Young people, forced to participate by the government and chosen through a random selection system, must survive and claim victory for their respective District. Only then does that individual earn a slightly better existence. However, many of the poorer Districts’ citizens continue to live in poverty and hardship. By describing constant hardship and violence in the dystopian, media-driven world of Panem, Collins provides a major warning of the inherent dangers of human nature and behavior.(this is a very broad topic- and could you change human nature once warned?)

For instance, one of the similarities are both the book and movie, Katniss and Peeta became closer and they decided to form an alliance so they could be stronger.` Another good similarity is that when rue died, Katniss covered her in flowers. One more similarity between the two is that peeta threw her the bread when it was raining.

This dystopian novel is seen through the eyes of sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen. Katniss lives in a country called Panem which is divided into 12 districts and a Capitol. She lives in district 12 which is known for coal mining and extreme poverty. Every year as a reminder of when the districts tried to over throw the Capitol, one girl and one boy from each district must compete in a gruesome, bloody battle until there is just one person standing. The year of the 74th Hunger Games Katniss’ little sister called Primrose gets pulled out of the glass bowl as the female tribute of district 12. Katniss refuses this to happen and volunteers as tribute. Her and another boy called Peeta, reluctantly travel by train to the Capitol to compete in an

With limited resources, the government, ran by a system called the Capitol keeps its citizens in control by separating them into twelve districts. To control rebellions, the Capitol makes their citizens remember the past rebellion.

I am nearly one hundred percent positive your book, The Hunger Games has been the subject of discussion and controversy for as long as it has been published and read. Not even just the first book, either. From Katniss’ first adventure through the vast, forested arena, to her second trials in Catching Fire, and finally the heroic revolution in Mockingjay, your series has been a topic of argument over radio shows, television and even my own dinner table. Therefore, I am also nearly one hundred percent positive this is not the first time a letter has been written about you or your books, yet I still find myself resonating deeply with the character Katniss Everdeen enough to base an entire essay and letter around her. Whether it comes down to

The Hunger Games which is directed by Garry Ross is story in land of Panem which has grown out of the cadaverous ruins of what one time was known as North America, 74 years ago. The capitol introduced the hunger games as a reminder to the twelve districts of its authority and punishment for rebellion. Every year a boy and a girl from each district, who are known as Tributes, and they are of aged between 12 and 18. The names are chosen randomly in reaping ceremonies. Primrose Everdeen is terrified because she will be reaped, “I know. I know. But it’s not. It’s not your first year Prim your name is only been there once they’re not going to pick you. Shhhh try to go to sleep”, (Ross, The Hunger Games) but her sister Katniss Everdeen calms her down. Primrose is chosen for the Hunger Games, but Katniss volunteers to enter the game. She chooses Peeta Mellark from the boys’ bowl. Tributes were cleaned up by their Prep team before sending in the competition. The next day they are sealed in the tube and sent to the arena. A battle to death starts, with the Capitol residents celebrating the slaughter of innocent young people in dreadful and unthinkable ways, while the Districts can only hope that their daughters and sons come back victorious.

The Hunger Games movie series is centered around the main character Katniss Everdeen. In Panem, the Capitol is over all districts and districts, four through twelve suffer from violence and poverty. Every year, two people, one male and one female are chosen as tributes to compete for their district in the annual hunger games. During the first movie, it is time for the seventy fourth annual Hunger Games District’s Twelve drawings for the names of the tributes of those who will compete. Katniss’ sister, Primrose, was chosen in the drawing, but Katniss volunteered as tribute in her sister’s place. The male tribute chosen was Peeta Mellark. Katniss and Peeta must fight against the other twenty-two tributes from the other eleven districts until only one tribute is standing. During the process of the games, there is clock time in which they must beat to be the last one standing. The tributes formed teams and interacted through focused and some unfocused interaction. The tributes build alliances with one another so that they could at least help each other. Throughout the process of the games, it is revealed that Peeta likes Katniss. While the games are ending, Peeta and Katniss are the last two standing, so they choose to eat poisoned berries; both eating the berries meant that neither one of them would win, but the Capitol decided to let them win together and this started the second revolution because those watching felt it was as an act of rebellion. This

The Hunger Games, starring Katniss Everdeen, a young girl volunteers herself into an incredibly dangerous game, so her little sister does not have to. Katniss has hunted animals numerous times, but under these circumstances, her target is a bit different. To get out of the match alive, she has to kill other people her age. In a film that corresponds themes and ideas with The Hunger Games, the main character in the other film has no family left. In Leon the Professional, the movie begins with young Matilda's family dead in their apartment. Matilda needs to learn to protect herself and hide from the men who are looking for her. In the two stories, each main character has similar obstacles and outcomes that overlap.

One wrong move could end it all. In both The Hunger Games, and The Most Dangerous Game, the protagonists are put in situations where one wrong move will get them killed. In The Hunger Games, the protagonist is Katniss, a young girl who volunteers to be in the Hunger Games, so her sister can stay safe at home. In The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford is the protagonist, a hunter with great skill, who ends up on Ship-Trap Island because he falls of his boat. Both protagonists possess many qualities, three that keep them alive and show that they are a true survivor. Those three qualities are their strength, intelligence and how they are both athletic. First, for their strength.

Let me start off by saying, “DEREK AND MEREDITH WERE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER AND LIVE A HAPPY LIFE”. If you ask the spectators of the show what they think about Shonda Rhimes and her decisions in regards to her show, their first response might be that Shonda Rhimes might just be the most heartless and evil woman on this earth. Grey’s Anatomy involves real life situations in which people (in this case the actors) have to learn to trust one another and ask them for help and support. The unity that is shown most of the time on the show is heartwarming. From season to season the viewers are taken into an emotional rollercoaster in which we never see what’s coming next. Every episode for the most part may be argued to follow the same sequence in which it starts normal and then BOOM something happens and everyone or at least the ones involve put on their gear and work together to solve it and it's those moments that grab the audience’s full attention. The bonds created between the characters make it seem for everyone to have that happiness, loyalty, love and more in their lives. The meaning of friendship, love and family are constantly being questioned but until now they have been able to overcome any obstacle put on their way.

Against all odds, Prim's name is selected at the reaping. Katniss volunteers to take the place of her younger sister and becomes District 12's girl tribute for the 74th Hunger Games. Peeta Mellark, a boy Katniss' age and the
