Catching Fire Book Vs Movie

After reading William Faulkner’s Barn Burning and watching Martin Ritt’s, The Long, Hot Summer, I noticed similarities but mainly differences between the film and the story. Although the film is not entirely based on the novel, the novel serves as the basic framework for the film. Both the film and the story shared the same theme, but differ in the actual story itself and how they portrayed the theme.

Katniss is a teenager trying to provide for her family by hunting with the skills her father taught her before he passed away, an event that changed her when she was a child. She doesn't want to rebel despite how she feels about the capitol. Katniss hunts to get food and money for her family to survive although it is considered illegal. she is shown to have a bad relationship with her mother because of how her mother reacted to her husband's death. Katniss is shown to love her sister very much this is shown very early on in the book when it says "My fingers stretch out, seeking Prim's warmth", that being said she doesn't have the best relationship with her sister's cat Buttercup and she just thinks of him as an extra mouth to feel "Even though it was years ago, I think he still remembers how I tried to drown him in a bucket when Prim brought him

Translating a book into a movie can be a very elusive task for many reasons. This is due to the fact that a book has many key points in it and compressing them all into a certain time frame can be very arduous. Mark Forster’s adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s novel the Kite Runner is a rather weak portrayal of what the author had originally wrote because of its bad casting choices, very significant and harmful cuts to the novel and scenes added throughout the film. Although the director’s intention to recreate a very touching story into a movie was a great idea, the author could have given more attention to some crucial and important aspects of the novel.

During the game Katniss have to pretend that she loves Peeta, but inside she knows that her real love was Gale and that he was waiting for her. It was hard for all of them because Gale was outside seeing how Peeta kiss his girlfriend, and for Peeta because he knows that Katniss was in love with another boy and not of him, and to Katniss because maybe she was with Gale, but passing time with Peeta and look how he tries to saved her life make her get confused about her feelings so she focused in what is good for her, and not of what she real want.

I am reading the novel Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and I am on page 172. For the most part, this book is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen who has had the guts to challenge the capitol, which has resulted in some complications. In this journal I plan to evaluate the character of Katniss Everdeen and predict the outcome of the novel. In this journal I will be evaluating the character of Katniss Everdeen in the novel Catching Fire.

Life is tough. We all have decisions to make and consequences to consider. Will we survive? Or will it all come crashing down? Catching Fire and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins are two books in the Hunger Games trilogy showing readers the life of Katniss Everdeen. This is shown in different ways through each story. In Catching Fire, the author shows the lesson through Katniss’s interaction with characters. She has returned home from the 74th Hunger Games and now has to decide between Gale and Peeta. She has feelings for both, but in District 12, it is a struggle to survive and her life will depend on who she chooses to be with. In Mockingjay, betrayal is a common part of survival is shown through Katniss’s idea to join the rebellion and betray

“Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.” This is my favorite quote from the popular book written by Galye Foreman in 2009, and then later created into a movie in 2014 called if I stay. The story about Mia, the 17 year old high school student who plays the cello and is totally obsessed with classical music. After a tragic car accident, she gets the rare opportunity to reflect on her entire life. Mia begins to have an out-of-body experience where she becomes separated from her body and is conscious to hear and see everything going on around her. As each event unfolds, Mia reflects on the past’s years with her family. Eventually, Mia’s projected body grows weary and she knows it’s time to make a decision. Return to her body and fight, or let herself slip away

Katniss is coming off of her first Hunger Games victory. She is starting to become very moody and “Fake”.Katniss is also forced to marry her husband to be Peeta, who she doesn’t like. The love of her life Gale is being tortured by the Capitol. Gale being tortured sets off the mood twists in this book. The only time she likes Peeta over Gale is when Peeta saves gales life.

Another difference in the novel that’s significant is the Mockingjay pin that is given to Katniss by Madge, the Governor’s daughter once it’s known that Katniss will be participating in the Hunger Games. Madge is described as one of the few people that Katniss is semi-friendly with; otherwise she is described as a loner who only has time to do what she has to do to take care of her family. This comes as a surprise to Katniss, who had assumed that Madge disliked her. This is an important piece of the book because in the movie, Katniss finds the same Mockingjay pin at the local flea market, and it is given to her by the owner, a woman named Greasy Sae. The significance of the pin is never explained in the movie, and viewers are left wondering if it will play an important role later on in the film. The director and author make many subtle, yet evident changes between the novel and film, which can only be noticed if one reads the novel and views the movie. However, those that have are left questioning why the changes were made, and what to expect next.

The book series Catching Fire a lot of similarities and differences to the movie. For example, in the book, Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch trained for the games the minute they are announced, while in the movie they don’t train for the game at all. This is because in the movie they wanted to show them being unprepared for the games. Another example, in the book, Katniss and Peeta make allies with the other tributes during training, and in the movie they barely talk to the other tributes. This is because in the movie they wanted to make the other tributes “bad guys”. One similarity is that in both the book and movie both Katniss and Haymitch get reaped for the games, and Peeta volunteers for Haymitch. They decided to keep this scene in both the

The Catcher in the Rye is a fictional story by J.D. Salinger about a 15 year old boy named Holden Caulfield. Holden goes on quite an adventure over a three day span, and learns many valuable things about himself and about life itself. Holden tells the story himself as a flashback for almost the entire book, excluding the first few paragraphs and the last chapter. Interestingly enough, unlike most well known novels, The Catcher in the Rye was never turned into a movie due to Salinger’s refusal to sell the movie rights. It has been speculated that Salinger did this because he holds the same ideas as Holden does, and both of them hate the movies.

One reason why everyone agreed with Katniss is because Suzanne Collins stirred a lot of empathy towards her. Some examples of this are “There’s no point in comforting words, in telling her she’ll be all right. She’s no fool. Her hand reaches out and I clutch it like a lifeline. As if it’s me dying instead of Rue.” (Collins,233). This really makes you feel for what Katniss has had to endure because it is sad that a friend of hers has passed. “Never having been in love this is going to be a real trick. I think of my parents. The way my father never failed to bring her gifts from the woods. The way my mother’s face would light up at the sound of his boots at the door. The way she almost stopped living when he died. (Collins,261). This makes you

Director Gary Ross chose to foreshadow the feud between Katniss and President Snow in the first movie to successfully entices viewers to return to the following movies. In the series, President Snow and Katniss develop a distrust, with President Snow gunning to get Katniss after she manipulates the Gamemakers to allow both her and Peeta to win the games. Yet there is only one instance of this in the novel, and that is when Katniss is crowned by Snow who unforgivingly glares at her (Collins 364). While this is subdued in the book, it is brought to the forefront in the movie. The movie shows many scenes of Snow glaring at Katniss, such as in the chariot ride, the crowning moment, and after Katniss gets home.

While reading the books and watching the movies Juliet and Katniss has similar characteristics. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet was determined to be with and someday marry her one true love, Romeo. For example Juliet says “My true love is grown to such axcess. . . ” This shows Juliets real feelings about Romeo. However, Juliet risks everything she had to be with Romeo even without knowing the outcomes of what might happen to her. Where in the Hunger Games Katmiss is determined to win the compitition with Peeta by her side, and bring them both back home to their families safe and happy. (Quote with Juliet)

Both main characters of these novels go through a self-awareness that is helped along by the people they encounter. This gives the audience a way to relate to the characters because they too go through things in their reality that may cause them to re-evaluate the way they think and believe.
