In the history of cinema, most movies involving a hero 's journey involve mostly the same plot; man gets a call, goes on a journey, gets in a battle or two, and saves the helpless woman from some evil source.

The hero in this film is a Katniss Everdeen, a poor girl from a dystopian society.

The Hunger Games may just seem like another one of today’s trendy book series, but it is far more intellectual than that. Unlike the enormously popular and overly romanticized Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games manages to captivate its audiences using a more complex and compelling plot. A plot that focuses on life in a dystopian society, which is incredibly comparable to the novel 1984. Both authors intended for these novels to be a wake up call to the audience, they wanted readers to be aware so that a totalitarian society could be prevented. There are many more similarities that these two novels share as well. In both 1984 and The Hunger Games there is a ruthless leader, some sort of love story, and brainwashing.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a riveting dystopian-fiction novel known for its suspense.

Each book is set in a dystopian future where America is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol of Panem. The book follows the main characters of 16 year old Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Katniss Everdeen is from district 12 and volunteered for the 74th annual Hunger Games. Peeta Mellark was the boy selected from district 12 and he secretly has developed a crush for Katniss Everdeen. The Hunger Games was established to remind the districts of the repercussion of the previous rebellion as well as instow fear into the districts. The 12 districts submit one boy and one girl to fight to the death on live television. To the rich and privileged people of the Capitol, The Hunger Games is essentially a reality tv show. Katniss and Peeta survive by hiding and killing other competitors during the games which led to them as the only survivors. For example Katniss had killed Glimmer (who was from district one) in the beginning of the games by dropping tracker jackers on top of her while she slept. Katniss later killed the male tribute from district one known as Marvel. He had trapped Katniss's companion named Rue in a net and then threw a spear which had pierced Rue in the abdomen leading to Katniss shooting Marvel in the neck with an arrow. Halfway through the games the game makers changed the rule of only having one sole victor to having two from the same district allowed to win together. However, at the end they revoke the rule and say that there still must be only one winner. In defiance of the capitol Katniss and Peeta decided that they can’t let the capitol have what they want and they decide to eat poison berries known as nightlock. Their ruse is successful and the game makers let them both

The novel 1984 by George Orwell is based in a totalitarian society where the inner party controls the rest of Oceania. This storyline is very similar to the modern day story of The Hunger Games. Themes in 1984 such as Big Brother, the Inner Party, Telescreens, Thought Police, and Rebels are all also portrayed in The Hunger Games. Both stories follow the journey of the main character that is also the rebel in the story.

By comparing and contrasting both the novel and the movie, The Hunger Games, I have found at least three themes. In the novel, love is conveyed throughout the story more than the movie. In the movie, friendship is conveyed a bit more through the movie than the novel. And finally, survival is the vital overall theme in both the movie and novel. Even though the theme is portrayed in different ways, survival plays the biggest part in The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross and Divergent directed by Neil Burger, are two of the most popular science fiction films in the industry. What makes these two movies so spectacular is because of the rare, strong female lead they have and the constant back to back action packed scenes that keeps everyone on their toes. The Hunger Games is about a sixteen year old girl, named Katniss, who took the place of her younger sister and has to represent her district by fighting for her life with little training and previous knowledge of hunting. Divergent is also about a sixteen year old girl who has to choose her faction, and because of the faction she chose she now has to fight for her life after going through a rigorous training course. If for any reason she messes up she will be forced to spend the rest of her days homeless. Although they have several similarities the two movies are still very different based off of their storylines, the character’s motivation, setting, and their theme.

In Collins’s book, the “Hunger Games,” the name of the event, force children, picked at random, to fight to the death in order to prevent the impending war. This demonstrates that they would need to fight against and kill each other for the right to live. Meanwhile, in Dashner’s series, the major government uses “Maze Trials” to test certain children’s brain waves by wiping their memories and inserting them into strange and unfamiliar surroundings. This would mean that, contrary to the population control technique in The Hunger Games, Dashner’s “Maze Trails” want as many kids to survive as possible. One such example of this is when one woman within the overall government stated, “‘Over two years, and so few dead. Amazing,’” (Dashner
