Compare And Contrast Divergent And The Hunger Games

Both the Hunger Games and The Road are two books set in the same type of environment of being poor, explored choices of humans facing a test of humanity, impacted by human modernization and technology and emotional power. We will explore the different themes and compare the logic between the pages.

Dystopian films and books have become popular over the past few years. These tend to reflect the way in which society could possibly soon turn if expecting extremes. Dystopian literature and media also tend to have utopian elements as well. While the societies in these works are strict and controlling, they do offer something that our society could possibly benefit from. Divergent has this element. The population is broken up into five factions that represent the different types of people in society and separate those who would fight easily due to their personal morals. The Hunger Games on the other hand (when modern society crumbled) they punished their citizens for fighting the government. While yes there was a chance for riches in the Hunger Games, it took risking your life to get it. In addition, if one did win the Hunger Games they would have an extremely easy life due to riches and a free luxury house. Divergent does not have this part, as its utopian aspect is the fact different ideals are separated from each other. Utopian literature is a reflection that is a perceived direction society may go. In these stories, mirrors are a device used to symbolically state the universe of the film is a reflection not a reality.

The Hunger Games, A book series by Suzanne Collins, differs in few ways from Veronica Roth’s Divergent. The Hunger Games lead role, Katniss Everdeen, lives in a world of few choices. The government controls the lives of everybody in the 12 districts. When Katniss’ little sister, Primrose, is chosen to fight in the annual Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She is forced to fight and forced to kill, all to survive. This competition results in the people fearing not only their government, but also their futures. Katniss becomes a symbol of rebellion against the

In the novel the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, there are many memorable symbols used. One of these symbols is the Mockingjay. The reason the symbol is important is that it helps the reader to understand some of the main ideas in the novel. Suzanne Collins wants the reader to think about the rebellion and the rebels fighting back and breaking free from the capitol through the use of the mockingjay symbol.

Symbolism is a characteristic that stands out in a person or thing. People usually use symbolism for something that means to them or represents to them. The symbols are used for many things, for example the apple on the iphone, laptop or iPod symbolizes the brand. Symbols are also used in churches, for example the cross symbolizes Jesus Christ. It symbolizes how he was crucified, put to death on a cross. The colors symbolize something’s to for example the colors white, red and blue symbolize freedom in the United States, it also represents the United States flag. Symbols are also used in movies like the hunger games catching fire; their symbol is a mocking bird with an arrow on it.

One of the hardest things for a director to do is to turn a book into a movie. There is a fine line between keeping the movie just like the book, and by barely crossing that line you can end up making a completely different vision than the book has set out for you. There are also many viewers out there that will completely hate the movie if it is nothing like the book that they read originally. The director has to realize that although there are many different types of audiences to please, that it still has to be a great movie that people cannot stop talking about.

I think our world is becoming a Dystopian society. Our Government is falling apart. They seem to be giving our country to ISIS. From what I keep hearing on the news, President Obama is letting the terrorists take over our country.

1984 and The Hunger Games are two brilliant novels written by two award winning authors. They contain many characteristics that typical dystopian novels possess; however, they’re presented differently to create the fictitious environments, where both characters live. Which is why they make such great pieces of Literature to compare.

After reading Lord of the Flies and Macbeth, and veiwng The Hunger Games, it is apparent that the each text shares common ideas. In particular, the theme of human nature is the most evident in the novel, play and the movie. Each of the texts reveals the innate evil within the nature of man through the actions of the characters in varying circumstances. Despite all three works being explored in different time periods, the common factor among them is that no matter the setting and the varying situations the characters find themselves in, a similarity exists in the way they carry themselves. All characters struggle to define themselves in their trials, yet ultimately become inhumane and savage as a result of their human nature.

The Hunger Games and The Road are popular books, but why did they become popular and what makes them popular? Many people bought these two books and have said that they can not put them down. Could it be because they both have an apocalypse element in them, death is heavily implied, companionship is heavily involved, and there is a lot of action and suspense involved in these books. First question that needs to be answered why would having an apocalypse element or theme in the story make the book good to read? To show why people enjoy apocalyptic scenarios or trying to survive in a new world, there are shows such as The Walking Dead and movies such as World War Z. Now there are no zombies in The Road or The Hunger Games but they all have an apocalypse or end of the world scenario where the people have to adapt to the new world and it is not pretty.

Everyone knows any good story has a basis of good and evil, and a quality hero or heroine. Through the many trials that person goes through, he or she in most cases, saves the day. Both the Divergent and the Hunger Games series have similar plots. They both are set in a future dystopia, have rule-breaking, remarkable heroines, who fight for the collapse of their corrupt governments.

Dystopian worlds are known to be set in the future, but there is the possibility to come true. “Dystopian young adult novels have risen in popularity among teenagers and adults alike” ( N/A 1). There have been several books written about dystopian worlds, such as The Hunger Games and Divergent these books have recently been turned into movies. They seem to be different, but in all reality they are very much alike with things setting, costumes, and message. I honestly prefer The Hunger Games over Divergent due to the fact that The Hungers Game had more money to work with and that it seemed all around better made with things such as setting, costumes, and the message.

It is quite common nowadays for novel to be made as movie. Actually, the phenomena of novels becoming books have started years ago. Famous novels like Bridget Jones’ Diary, The Notebook, The Lord of the Rings, and let’s not forget Harry Potter series are also successfully made into movies. But nowadays, there is this new phenomenon of The Hunger Games trilogy that often discussed. The cast directly becomes new idols of this generation. Who does not know big names like Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, or Liam Hemsworth? Everybody with technology must know them or at least heard of them. Following in that success path is Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth. The trilogy also comes from young-adult novels. Many people argue that both trilogy share similar characteristics despite there are also some things that differ them.

There has been a lot of controversy on how Divergent and the Hunger Games are identical. This article is going to discuss whether people think divergent is better than the hunger games or if the hunger games is better than divergent. Divergent is about people who get placed in four different factions based on different types of people. The factions include: dauntless which is the brave, amity which is the peaceful, erudite which is the intelligent, abnegation which is the selfless, and candor which is the honest. The hunger games is about people who are separated into different districts. There are twelve districts split up across panem. District one is luxury, district two is masonry, district three is technology, district four is fishing,

In the book Divergent by Veronica Roth a young girl named Tris who decides her fate against her parents will. As the cities around her turn to war Tris must stick by her friends and do what is right. Similar yet different, in the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins a young girl named Katniss takes the place of her sister in an annual war between 11 other districts. Katniss must choose between her well being and the wellbeing of the people she loves. In this essay readers learn how both books express similarities and differences in the theme, the setting, as well as the usage and meaning of symbolism.
