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.
My two novels, Divergent and The Maze Runner, have many similarities that I would like to discuss. Firstly, both novels focused on being thrust into a brand new world that the characters were not used to. Thomas(The Maze Runner protagonist)started off the book with him waking up inside of a cargo box, traveling upwards at an incredibly high speed, and with only the memory of his name. When Tris decided to join the Dauntless, she immediately had to adapt and change, from jumping from trains and buildings to fighting someone until submission or decommission. To add onto that, despite being both unfamiliar with their new lives, they were able to adapt fairly quickly with Tris being first in the second and third round of initiation, and

Dystopias, through an exaggerated worst-case scenario, make a criticism about a current trend, societal norm, or political system.
There are several differences between the book and movie adaptation of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Some of these similarities are very clearly portrayed in the story, and several of the differences made profound changes in my perception of the story line. These changes included plot and the way the story was told.
While both The Hunger Games and Divergent are dystopian series with female leads that rebel and lose family, in Divergent the characters have more choice in their destiny while in the Hunger Games they live in fear of their future.
A common answer to a question people are always debating over is whether the book or the movie is better. So which one is better, the Divergent book or the Divergent movie? When comparing and contrasting the Divergent book and the movie based off of the book, you notice there are some features that are the same, and some features that are different. Some examples of these features are the details, the process, and the accuracy.
The book I read for this first independent reading assignment is Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. This novel showed a dystopian world, in which books have been banned outright, and are being burned by the firemen. This work of fiction possessed many elements that had been shown in other works of literature that I had worked with in the past, though it also possessed definite differences, specifically Lord of The Flies, Ender's Game, and finally The Hunger Games.
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.

The author Gail Gibbons was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1944. Even when she was a little child she was in love with books. She was always putting books together. She would make books and then try to bind them together with yarn to where the pages would hold. She wrote her first wordless picture book at the age of four. She was a very curious individual and she loved drawing and painting, and she always asked questions when she was young.
The Fahrenheit 451 is a novel published in 1953 by a writer known as Ray Bradbury. The book is regarded as one of the writer’s best works as a novelist. In the book, the writer presents a future American society where there is no freedom or democracy. This is shown through an act where books are outlawed and in a case where they are found they are to be burnt by ‘firemen’. The society is obsessed with the mass media and driving fast cars. The main characters in the book are Guy Montag, Clarisse McClellan, and Beatty. The genre of the book is based on science fiction.
The Hunger Games and Divergent demonstrate an exaggerated view of the extremes, society has come to, to minimise the drastic effects and repercussions that the present has caused this future dystopian society.
Allow me to preface this by stating that I’m horrible at introductions; it’s not a complete lie, but it does grasp the reader’s attention (albeit usually only because they want to see what monstrosity I ended up with) better than any introduction I can come up with at three in the morning. Onto the actually essay part, now; I found the two books to be amazing in the end, albeit the teen-romance-y stuff in “The Hunger Games” took some getting used to. If I had the time, I might read them again.
