Similarities and Differences of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

Another connection between these two texts is the protagonists being portrayed as underdogs. This is probably why I favoured the protagonists and wanted them to win their games (Hunger games and Hunting game). Both the texts have confident and ruthless villains that believe the victims are their puppets. In the Hunger Games, this is the Capital city and predominantly President Snow. It is The Capital who choose to run The Hunger Games and they believe that the tributes from the lower districts have a very slim chance at winning.

Believe it or not, The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, and Macbeth, by William Shakespeare are a lot alike. Now, I probably just lost half of my audience by mentioning Shakespeare, but if you are still reading, don’t worry, I’m not going to use Shakespearean language. The conflict occurs because of the antagonists, protagonists, and the time period. In both Macbeth, and The Hunger Games, there is a struggle between a form of government, and a group of rebels. In Macbeth and in The Hunger Games, characterization is used to build conflict between the government and the rebels.

Dystopia is a futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control. Dystopias, through an exaggerated worst-case scenario, make a criticism about a current trend, societal norm, or political system.

The novel The Hunger Games is written by author Suzannne Collins. Collins created a dystopian novel that has similarities to the current society we live in and could be interpreted to be what the future holds. Throughout the book characteristics of a dystopia society are revealed. From districts starving, living in poverty, being killed for trying to escape to somewhere better and being forced to do things they do not want to do. The beginning of the book on page three, starts with the main character Katniss Everdeen assuming her sister left their bed for their mothers’ because of nightmares caused by the reaping.

The Hunger Games, A book series by Suzanne Collins, differs in few ways from Veronica Roth’s Divergent. The Hunger Games lead role, Katniss Everdeen, lives in a world of few choices. The government controls the lives of everybody in the 12 districts. When Katniss’ little sister, Primrose, is chosen to fight in the annual Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She is forced to fight and forced to kill, all to survive. This competition results in the people fearing not only their government, but also their futures. Katniss becomes a symbol of rebellion against the

To begin with, The Hunger Games is the first book in the Hunger Games Trilogy, and is written by Suzanne Collins. First off, the novel takes place in Penem, a make-believe future where the Capital is surrounded by districts. The Districts are like slaves to the Capital, give away resources to the Capital and only keep some resources to themselves; so you can imagine that the districts are very poor. The Capital also forces the districts to give up one boy and girl to go to annual Hunger Games, so to prevent War. Katniss, the main character in the book, ends up being part of the hunger games alongside with Peeta. Katniss then has to fight for her life because there may only be one victor. Lastly, throughout this book you’ll see conformity and civil disobedience play a huge role in 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 Hunger Games by Susan Collins is a slap in the face for society, essentially a wakeup call. Katniss Everdeen is a sixteen year old girl that volunteers as tribute for Prim, her little sister and is the focus of The Hunger Games. The book is set in Panem a dystopian society with twelve districts and an over ruling power, the Capitol. The Capitol has created a punishment for a rebellion that occurs 74 years earlier, called the reaping. Every year there is a reaping, the reaping requires each of the twelve districts to gather and watch as two of their children are picked to compete in the most dangerous game; the hunger games. Each child sent is in a competition for their life, one will survive. After the reaping the tributes are sent to the Capitol where they are introduced to the public. The tributes are treated like celebrities, interview and forced to play their best angle to the media. See any similarities between 21st century America and the world Katniss lives in? Panem and

In the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Sherman Alexi, known as Junior, goes over all of the hardships he experienced when he was in high school. The book that I feel most closely correlates to this book is The Hunger Games. In The Hunger Games,Katniss and her sister Prim go through significant hardships under the Capitol Wasteland, where family connections are made. . I will review the similarities from an economical standpoint and how family survives in hardship. Katniss and Junior go through the same problems of wanting to better their family, but not able to do so because they're so young. They also go through the problem of being poor, where they don't have enough money for food or transportation. Family is definitely something that is extremely important in both books. These books orient themselves around how family takes care of each other even as they're going through hardships.

The hunger games also are based in a futuristic society as applies to the book the Fahrenheit 451. The setting in the novel is one of complete disarray in the order of the society as is the case in the novel the Fahrenheit 451. The Hunger Games is a dystopian novel, but its content is far more political than any other novels written in the twenty-first century. The novel revolves around a young female teenager who is engaged in a young triangle with other two young men. The young men are Peeta Mellark and her best friend, Gale. The main idea, however, is the task that the young teenager, who happens to be the main character is faced with. Katniss Everdeen as is the name of the girl, is faced with the task of uniting her Falk in an uprising against the cruel system of administration which happens to be taking advantage of the other population (Dubrofsky

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.

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and The Hunger Games both have a government that has too much power over its people. Guy Montag lives in a society that is olny given information the government wants them to know. The government doesn't want its citizens to think outside the box. Correspondingly, The Hunger Games has a government who has divided its people into districts to to keep the peace. Kids are randomly chosen to fight in the hunger game to prove district dominance. This is meant to show the amount of power the government has over its people. Next the two stories demonstrate how a group of people can be controlled by giving them false information.With Clarisse’ help, Montag begins to question society and why people follow and act accordingly.

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

Science fiction is a genre of literature that focuses on possible outcomes of a near future (space, future buildings, robots, aliens). A good example of this genre are the books Divergent, published in 2011, and The Hunger Games, published in 2008. Science fiction is presented in both stories in how the setting takes place in a near future where society as we know it collapsed and it had to be build from the beginning with new sets of rules. In The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins builds her story around a country named Panem which is located in some part of North America. The country was created after a series an uprising lead to millions of deaths and destroyed most of what was known as North America. Because of this, a treaty was created to stop the war and to stop future uprisings, the government created the Hunger Games. A similar approach is
