Mockingjay Part 1 Analysis

Author uses Atticus teach these lessons through his wise words. Atticus teaches these lessons to not only the audience, but Jem and Scout too. Some of the main things he teaches his kids about are understanding people, using the mind instead of the body, the cruel reality of stereotypes, and true

It is nearly impossible to have everything in a book portrayed in a movie. Whereas I still found the movie entertaining, I preferred the book because the first person point of view helped the reader understand the motivations for Katniss’ distrust of others. I also felt like the events in the book were clearer to understand such as Haymitch’s alcoholism and the decadence of the Capital in the stark contrast to the poverty in District 12. Even with seeing what else is going on in Panem, and understanding the next portion of the story, I felt the book showed this sufficiently. Overall, I enjoyed them both, but the book, as always, was

As the famous American author, Nerburn, says,“It is much easier to become a father than to be one”(http://www.wiseoldsayings.com/fathers-quotes). Nerburn writes about how hard it is to be an eligible father .He proposes the question, “Do people think their father is the person who is able to provide them a lot of guidance or help? In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Jem and Scout live with their father, Atticus, who is a lawyer, and regard him as an excellent example. However, Scout and Jem don’t value Atticus as a father with full diligence because he is elder than most of other students’ father and he is not able to do any sports. Due to the accident with the mad dog, atticus’s educations and the case of Tom Robinson, Jem and Scout come to understand, respect, and finally admire their father.

Growing up is a difficult task, especially when the town around you doesn’t offer to help you understand what’s going on around you. Using many examples of the loss of childhood innocence, Harper Lee shows us that a corrupted society leads to growing up faster and one’s childhood is stripped away. Through Jem, the eldest of the Finch children, and Scout, the youngest, the readers see how a trial in 1930 Alabama takes a toll of young minds. In Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, she implies that growing up leads to loss of innocence, especially in troubling times.

The black characters act justly throughout the novel by treating every one with equality and respect. In Chapter 12, when Jem and Scout visit Calpurnia’s Negro church for the Sunday service, Lula, a hostile Negro woman tells them impolitely to leave. Calpurnia defends the children and contradicts Lula by saying, “It’s the same God, ain’t it?” Amidst an argument over the antagonistic rifts between black and white regimes, Calpurnia acknowledges that all people, no matter the race, worship the same God, and are therefore equal. During Chapter 12, after the church service, Reverend Sykes takes up an extra collection of money that is collected towards Tom Robinson's wife, who has not been able to find work since her husband is sent to jail since he allegedly rapes a white woman. Reverend Sykes tells the attendees of the service, “I want all of you with no children to make a sacrifice and give one more dime a piece.” The Revenant shows justice by being equal and respectful towards everyone. In order to be fair he asks those who don’t have a family to feed and shelter to donate an extra dime, and not forcing those who have a family to donate extra money. During his testimony in Chapter 19, Tom Robinson states a different story than that of Mayalla’s; he is then questioned on whether he is accusing Mayella of being a liar. Tom refuses to accuse Mayella of lying, but persistently says that she is "mistaken in her mind." This shows Tom’s unrelenting respect and honest living; even though Mayella is unjust to him, he continues to treat her with justice and respect because he knows that she is just a little girl who is lonely and even though she sent him

Critics have positively reviewed the film as they praise the different themes it portrays and the messages it sends across to its viewers and audience. They also praise how Jennifer Lawrence in her role as Katniss displayed a shaky calm and determination during the extensive action scenes (Ebert.) The movie has received positive criticism for its superb acting and thrilling performance from the actors. It is able to capture in it raw emotion, dramatic violence, and ambitious scope which is derived from the original novel. Jennifer Lawrence in her role as Katniss Everdeen has been praised for vividly embodying the role as stated in the novel. Katniss has to endure various struggles to save her life as well as that of her partner throughout the entire movie. After taking the place of her smaller sister as a tribute she travels to the capitol where the games are held. Together with other tributes, they are trained to use the weapons they are interested in so that they can stand a chance to

Katniss Everdeen is a brave, young protagonist in the Hunger Games. Her fierce fighting, and personality is what allows her to survive. Suzanne Collins, the author of the book (Hunger Games) does a tremendous job showing how the setting impacts the whole book. The story kicks off in a country called Panem. Its separated into 12 districts and a capitol.

Harper Lee’s Novel To Kill a Mockingbird details the life of young Scout Finch and brother Jem Finch, who is growing up in a time of racial uniqueness. Jem and Scout Finch are what most would call a typical family growing up in the small Alabama town of Maycomb. They encounter many different obstacles during their childhood missions with many characters making the novel an interesting read. Throughout the book, Lee is showing Jem and Scout grow up and become mature young adults. This novel, written by Harper Lee, demonstrates the themes of growing up, Innocence and most importantly, racism.

Aside from the fact that being a responsible person is a potent trait to have, being responsible has many benefits such as being triumphant in life and having an adequate reputation.

“Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if you can hit’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee pg. 90). The bird, mentioned nearly twice, seems to show little importance to the story. Nonetheless, it resembles the perception of some characters. The one time Scout had ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do anything was when referring to the mockingbird. He advised his children when hunting to never shoot a mockingbird. Miss Maudie followed with further detail by explaining that “Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee pg.90).

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 phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to catch fire worldwide with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. Katniss Everdeen is found in District 13 after she destroys the games forever. Under the direction of President Coin and the reliance on her trusted friends and family, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta and Panem. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is better than its forerunners.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 is the beginning of the final installment of the cinematic adaption of the young adult book series by the same title. The film picks up shortly after the conclusion of the previous film, with Katniss and fellow victors Finnick and Beetee having been safely rescued from the 75th Hunger Games arena. They are transported to an underground facility beneath the destroyed District 13, where a rebel army has been gathering supplies and training for another fight against the Capitol in attempt to overthrow President Snow and his dictatorial regime. Rebel leader President Alma Coin is able to convince an unenthusiastic Katniss to serve as the Mockingjay, a symbol of the rebellion and rallying figure for the other districts to unite against the Capitol. A series of mini-battles ensue, making it evident that the Capitol is slowly losing its iron grip over the Districts. Katniss’ main concern is Peeta, whom the Capitol captured in the Hunger Games arena, and is using as a propaganda tool in

One thing that I really enjoyed about the book was that Katniss was still a free spirit, even though President Snow wanted her dead. She continued to rebel, showing everyone that you should stand up for what you believe in. Also, I really liked how the author didn’t focus as much on Peeta and Katniss, also known as the romantic side of the story. The novel seemed better when it was about Katniss VS Snow, not about Katniss and Peeta. I for one think that the Hunger Games series has a deeper meaning, and I liked how Collins captured that through this final book of the series. I would absolutely recommend this book to people looking for emotional

In both the text “To Kill a Mockingbird” written by Harper Lee and the film “A Time to Kill” directed by Joel Schumacher, similar ideas are presented using language devices and stylistic features in differing ways to appeal to their target audience. Each have very similar storylines in which a white lawyer defends a an African-American in a prejudiced court case. Racism is a key idea presented strongly in each due to the eras they are set in. The era and country set in each story provide a strong base for the prominent issue. With the unpleasant happenings in each text and through the racist acts the idea of compassion shines through. As well as compassion being a significant idea, forgiveness is also presented through the racists acts.
