The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is about Katniss Everdeen lives in Panem, which has 12 districts that are forced to randomly choose one girl and boy to fight in the annual Hunger Games.

To begin with, one of the biggest difference between the book and movie version is Katniss and Peeta’s friendship. In the book, their relationship is very complex. At first, Katniss pretends to be in love with Peeta to gain more sponsors and thinks Peeta is doing it for the game too. Despite that, she grows closer with Peeta and ends up falling in love with Peeta. Peeta finds out that their friendship at the beginning of the game was fake and gets mad. However, the movie puts little emphasis on their friendship. For instance, after Katniss and Peeta win, the author writes, “‘It was all for the Games,” Peeta says. ‘How you acted.’ ‘Not all of it,’ I say, tighty holding onto my flowers….I also want to tell him how much I already miss him,” (372-323).This shows the complicated relationship that they have which is

In the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Sherman Alexi, known as Junior, goes over all of the hardships he experienced when he was in high school. The book that I feel most closely correlates to this book is The Hunger Games. In The Hunger Games,Katniss and her sister Prim go through significant hardships under the Capitol Wasteland, where family connections are made. . I will review the similarities from an economical standpoint and how family survives in hardship. Katniss and Junior go through the same problems of wanting to better their family, but not able to do so because they're so young. They also go through the problem of being poor, where they don't have enough money for food or transportation. Family is definitely something that is extremely important in both books. These books orient themselves around how family takes care of each other even as they're going through hardships.

Peeta and Katniss’s love firmed up more while they had a hard time. After Miguel and Alba met in college, they discussed their ideology against the right-wing. Later on, Miguel took a leader of the guerrillas and Alba and the other resistance fought against the dictatorship from military. They could stand by the power of love at that time. At the last page, this is the Alba’s narration how she dealt with her life, “⋯while I carry this child in my womb, the daughter of so many rapes or perhaps of Miguel, but above all, my own daughter.”(p.432). If they were not in love, Alba could not endure the tortures
