Similarities Between Snowpiercer And The Hunger Games

The first impact the film tries to point out is the control of capitalism over society. The town is controlled by two gangs, Siebei’s gang and Ushitora’s gang, and everyone in the town is intimidated by the gangs, including people who work for the government like the sheriff, Hansuke. This example shows exactly how

The techniques used in both films are very far apart if you were to compare, The purge uses techniques that of modern ethics where as the hunger games uses older techniques. The camera angles are quite fluid, almost handheld in the purge, this enables the viewers to feel as if they are in the movie where as The Hunger Games is shot in the complete opposite to give a very different dramatic feel. The use of non- diegetic sounds are present in both films, with this feature present, enables the viewer to feel the effects and adds more atmosphere. The editing in the purge is fast paced this means quick cuts to capture the action, its edited in sequential format this gives the viewer the chance to understand the action and story without looking or thinking of what the director is trying to achieve.

Intertextuality is the relationship between texts, or the way that one text is similar/influenced by another through techniques such as literary devices and narrative elements. Gone is a novel written by ‘Michael Grant’, and was published by ‘Harpercollins’ in 2008. In the book, everyone over the age of fifteen in the town of Perdido Beach disappears, with a dome barricading those left inside. The kids are left to survive on their own, with some developing powers after a nuclear explosion in the past. The Hunger Games is a also a novel, written by ‘Suzanne Collins’ and was published by ‘Scholastic’ in 2008. The book was adapted into a film in the year 2012 under the direction of ‘Gary Ross’, and will be compared to Gone. The story follows Katniss Everdeen in a post-apocalyptic setting, where children from twelve districts are sent to fight against each other for food, money and other necessities. Both texts share similar themes with each other, so how does setting impact the intertextuality between themes used in The Hunger Games and Gone?

The novel Fahrenheit 451 and Hunger Games have many things in common about their storylines and many other things. One big detail they have in common is that they are both dystopian fiction. Dystopian fiction is when you are relating to something that is bad or unpleasant. These are examples of dystopian fiction because they both have information, independent thought and freedom that is restricted; the citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance; and the citizens conform to uniform expectations, individuality and dissent are bad.

In the two dystopian novels Fahrenheit 451 and The Hunger Games, their protagonists Guy Montag and Katniss Everdeen do have a couple of differences. The first difference between Montag and Katniss are the consequences given to them throughout their novels. Montag, in Fahrenheit 451, was hiding illegal books in his house knowing how big of a punishment he could get. The head fire chief, Beatty, found out and sent the mechanical hound to chase Montag down and try to kill him. Bradbury describes Beatty’s anger towards Montag evidently: “It was pretty silly quoting poetry around free and easy like that. It was the act of a silly damn slob… Look where they got you, in slime up to your lip. If I stir the slime with my little finger, you’ll drown!” Different from Montag, Katniss in The Hunger Games snuck over the fence to

It might seem obvious that to be courageous is to be fearless, but in reality courage and fear go hand in hand. In Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, the world is no longer what we know it to be. In The Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta are among the 24 Tributes offered up by the 12 Districts of Panem to participate in a bloody battle to the death for entertainment and fame and glory for only one. Where The Road takes place, cannibalism is something to be feared and houses and whole cities are abandoned due to a disastrous event that took place before the book started. It is because of these particular settings that the true nature of courage is revealed.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The House of the Scorpion written by Nancy Farmer have many opposing opinions, views, symbols, characters, plots and settings; however both novels retain several similarities as well. Katniss Everdeen lives in a make belief, future country called Panem. The Capitol rules the surrounding 12 districts in a dictator- like way. In punishment for the districts past rebellion the Capitol decreed that every year each District must offer up one young man and woman to compete in the annual Hunger Games in which the tributes have to fight to the death and in order to win, have to be the last living tribute in the arena. Katniss is thrust into the games when she volunteers to take younger sisters place in the Hunger Games. In the other hand The House of the Scorpion is set in the future pseudo country called Opium. Matt the main character and the protagonist in the story is one of El Patron’s many clones. El Patron, who is the ruler of Opium, uses these clones for organ transplant to lengthen his life. However Matt escapes his cruel, appalling fate with the help of Tam Lin, Maria and Celia and ends up out-living El Patron, making him the new ruler of Opium. Although The Hunger Games and The House of the Scorpion are two very differently unique and marvelous stories, in my assessment and opinion they have a few similarities such as the symbols, characters, characters personalities, plots and settings.

The Hunger Games is a novella based upon the idea of a new America, where people are manipulated and manipulated by a central government. In the wake of a second civil war, this dystopian society that spilt the population into 12 districts, from Careers to coal miners; the capital created the systematic idea of a “controlled freedom.” In which The Hunger Games were created to prevent the idea or action of a future rebellion. The Hunger Games- is a televised event

Katniss Everdeen murdering countless children may not appear similar to the classic Cinderella story, but at closer inspection the they are almost identical. In my opinion, The Hunger Games, written Suzanne Collins, does a better job of telling a similar story than “Aschenputtel”, by the Brothers Grimm. While reading these stories, one had a stronger female lead, more modern, relatable experiences, and a more alluring set of emotions.

The setting of the story plays a vital role in creating the mood and atmosphere. In both George Orwell’s 1984 and Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, the post-war setting contributes to the unfortunate and unfair events of the story. 1984 by George Orwell focuses on Winston Smith, a thirty-nine-year-old Outer Party member living in futuristic London, which is part of Oceania. Oceania is ruled by the Inner Party and Big Brother, a well-known figure that the citizens are taught to love. However, the Inner Party is actually brainwashing everyone, taking almost all the freedom of each individual.

“The Hunger Games” book and film are similar and different. These similarities and differences show how the film and the book can be either apart from each other or alike. The changes made in the movie have an effect on what the characters feel and what they think.

Have you ever had where people don’t want you to be yourself or life just doesn’t seem to be going the right way for you? Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Kara Westfall from The Thickety by J.A.White both seem to run into 8`this problem without end. They are struggling to stay themselves while saving others who don’t think they need saving. After losing people they care for, them not caring or just not alive and well. After tragedy they seem to find a sense of justice and throw themselves into danger for those who might fall to the same cause of their family of friends. No matter what people say, they are determined to be themselves, no matter what happens.

Both of these quotes seem to ring true. Fear can make people do things they would not normally do, but they can also overcome their fear with a much stronger and positive emotion. Fear is a common motif in literature, especially in The Hunger Games and Divergent, two immensely popular and influential young adult book series. Many have debated how similar these books are, which has some truth. Both take place in a dystopian world and feature a young woman leading a rebellion, who struggles with love in the meantime. The books are not exact copies of each other, though. However similar they may be, both novels convey ideas such as love, governmental, and societal influence very differently.

I read the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. In Percy Jackson he doesn’t want to be a demigod and in the Hunger Games Katniss doesn’t want to be a tribute but they both had no choice. In both books plenty of people are trying to kill them both, but they always prevail in the end. They are both brave and both will do anything for their family’s like go to the Underworld or volunteer for your death sentence. Also they both have special skills only one was inherited and the other was learned.

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.
