Percy Jackson And The Hunger Games Comparison

In the two texts, the main characters are teenagers and have a younger sister. Both Jonas and Katniss experience horrifying and terrible events. In Jonas’ case it's the bad memories such as warfare, famine and the elephant dying. For Katniss it was that fact she killed people to survive. Both of them have secrets that they can’t share and they have a great deal of honour. Jonas is the receiver of memory and Katniss sacrificed herself so that her sister wouldn’t die. In both texts the second main character tries to help the main character but is always unaware of what the other has seen. In both texts the government is controlling the people. In The Giver the citizens don’t have colour, memories and emotions whilst in The Hunger Games they

My original thought when comparing Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief the movie and Classical mythology was that there would be many more references to the myth of Perceus than any other myth throughout the movie in its entirety. That’s where I was wrong. After watching the movie again and researching the different hero myths my opinion has changed. My new thoughts are that the movie is not influenced by the myth of Perceus any more than other hero myths. The movie ties together many different heroes’ stories and mixes them together to make a wonderful story about a young boy. The movie was based on a book series written by Rick Riordan.

One difference is that Percy Jackson and Annabeth are 12 in the book but 16 in the movie, and in the book Annabeth has blonde curly hair but in the movie she has brown straight hair. Another contrast between the two is that Mr. D (Dionysus god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature) is in the book but barely in the movie and we know that Percy is Poseidon's son from the beginning of the movie when he holds his breath in the pool for a couple minutes but in the book he's not claimed by his father Poseidon until he gets to camp Half-Blood. Percy gets told by Mr. Brunner (Chiron) that he can't have any electronics because the monsters will be able to track him but in the movie Percy has a iPod that helps him cut Medusa's head

Violence may not seem like a good reason for the Hunger Games book being better than the movie, but in reality, it is. The Hunger Games movie is violent but not to the same extent as the book. The movie’s violent scenes were watered down and are less gruesome and bloody than the scenes in the book. Especially, this is the case in the last scene of the story where Katniss shoots Cato, the last tribute left in the games, and he falls into a pack of mutant dogs. In the movie the exact same thing happened, Katniss shot Cato the last tribute left, but instead, the movie producers made his death happen immediately after he fell into a pack of mutant dogs. In the novel, Cato’s suffering lasted a few hours and Katniss and Peeta had to wait anxiously

In the movie The Maze Runner Series the main character Thomas is very much like the main character Percy in the Percy Jackson Series. Is that just a coincidence or are they somehow connected? Percy Jackson is related to greek mythology and there is a minotaur which is a head of a bull body of man who lives in a labyrinth and tries to harm people. In The Maze Runner it does not directly link to greek mythology however there is a monster who lives in the maze called grievers and they try to harm everyone they come in contact with. Could the griever and minotaur connect the two movies?

Sometimes, picking up a good novel is just what you need. Two novels, The Hunger Games and The Giver, are both popular and well- known, and are read by thousands, even millions of people around the world. Surprisingly, the main characters of these books, Katniss and Jonas, are comparable to each other. The two share some similarities. They possess some differences too. In some ways, the main characters characters of two novels, Katniss and Jonas, are alike, as well as differ from each other.

Rick Riordan. Many things are to be said about such an amazing author. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief , being a New York Times Best-Seller, is what first broke him out into the flow of mainstream literature. Although Riordan is now a very beloved author he was not always that way, having many stories before his breakout series, Percy Jackson, that were turned down by publishers. Riordan grew up just as normal as any of us, went to school and learned just like we have to, and finally after all of the time building up to this and all his effort and lost hope he became a legend with hard work and dedication and never giving up on his dreams.

Fantasy stories have many elements that help make them classifies as a fantasy. Two examples of these elements are other worlds and magical objects. In both Harry Potter and Percy Jackson these elements are identified. The authors use them to have deeper meanings and make the story entertaining for the audience. In both stories these elements help build the story and entertain the readers leaving them on the edge of their seats, and wanting to know more about the characters adventures.

Middle school (High school in Australia) is bad enough, especially with all the peer pressure and high expectations. What if, on top of all that, you've been diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD while being kicked out from a number of different schools. Not only that but your teacher turns into a demon in an attempt to kill you. This is the life 12-year-old Percy Jackson, protagonist in the book, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. In this book is a mix of Greek mythology and modern-day fun.

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.

Imagine how people can survive in a dystopian society. A dystopian society, a society where everything is frightening and unpleasant. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and the Divergent by Veronica Roth shows a great example of a dystopian society. Katniss from the Hunger Games and Tris from the Divergent are living in a world where humanity doesn’t exist, corrupted governments taking control, life there isn’t easy. In both of the story, symbolism is used to represent ideas or qualities. In The Hunger Games, Katniss showed that the woods represent her survival and the world beyond District 12. In the Divergent, Tris showed that the mirror represent her old self. There are many meaningful symbols in the two stories, The Hunger Games and Divergent that relates back to their authors.

There were also many differences between these two books. At first Tessie didn't know she was the one that was going to be the one getting “stoned to death” literally; but when Katniss volunteered to take Prim's place in the Hunger Games, she knew that she was risking her life. Tessie wasn't prepared for the stoning, whereas Katniss was put into training and could defend herself is she were attacked. These two books are different because The Hunger Games is more of a young adult book, and “The

Rick Riordan, the author of the young adult series Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, has stated that J.K. Rowling and her Harry Potter series were a heavy inspiration in his own book. Although one might not notice the similar plot structure and character types, due to the different writing style and narrative voices. While Rowling's story is strictly a third person narrative, Riordan writes in the first person view of the lead character, Percy. As you look back at the story, however, the reader can discover a clear connection between these two very different worlds of magic, monsters, and mysterious villains. However we also see that the few differences in these stories make for an entirely different experience for the readers, and connects to different children for different reasons.

When adapting a movie based on a book, there will be parts that are left out in the movie. These changes can either be good or bad, depending on how its executed. Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief fits under the latter category as the changes made were glaringly bad in my opinion and noticed by the fans of this book. In Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, I found three key differences compared to its film adaptation: how the journey started, the characters and their characterization, and missing plot points.

One book that I will want everyone to read should have a lot of life lesson which gives the reader knowledge of how they’re supposed to be in their real life. The book “Percy Jackson & the Olympians; The Sea of Monsters,” is a very good book in which gives you life lesson on how you can be successful in life and there is always a very good moral at the end which will teach us a very good lesson that could be the most important for success.
