A famous author, by the name of Franz Kafka, once said, “The meaning of life is that it stops” (Flavorwire 2). It is important to notice that both The Fault in Our Stars, and The Hunger Games express the theme that oblivion is inevitable. Everyone will eventually perish, and even though it may be hard to face, it’s true. One day in the distant future, the world will be a deserted island, where life is not possible. To sum it up, both authors, John Green and Suzanne Collins, do an excellent job of expressing the theme that oblivion is inevitable. The first way that oblivion is proven to be inevitable, is a comparison between a quote from Augustus, and the storyline of The Hunger Games. When Augustus is talking to Hazel, he stresses some very …show more content…
“The more likable he is, the more deadly he is” (Collins 72). This quote is spoken by Katniss, and most likely about Peta, her lover, but deadly enemy in The Hunger Games series. At this moment, the reader may be wondering how this quote can tie back to the inner thinking of Hazel. It’s funny, because this quote can be placed anywhere in The Fault in Our Stars. When thought about, that quote can basically tie back to exactly what Hazel thinks of Augustus during the entire book. She wants to fall in love with him and be with him forever, but unfortunately, when she gets too close to him, me may die. This is even worse, mostly because Hazel will be hurt, since she was so close to him. Also, both novels show the theme that “oblivion is inevitable” by the evidence in the quote. The evidence in the quote proves that Peta is deadly. Even though Peta isn’t dying in the quote, the quote states the meaning that death is implied when it’s thought of. Remember, oblivion is death. It’s
Both the Hunger Games and The Road are two books set in the same type of environment of being poor, explored choices of humans facing a test of humanity, impacted by human modernization and technology and emotional power. We will explore the different themes and compare the logic between the pages.
Miracle in the Hills and To Kill a Mockingbird are both set in the rural south in the early twentieth century. Both books tell you about making a difference and going against the status quo. No matter what age you are you can make a difference. For example in To Kill a Mockingbird, the town of May comb struggle a whole lot with prejudice. All but one family was very prejudice. Atticus finch only taught his children what hen thought was best. And you can significantly tell through out the book how drastically Jem and Scout's attitudes change. Through out the book they both just gain a significant amount of maturity and understanding of the world. Atticus finch not only was a good parent and always did what he thought was best, but he went
The book “Lord Of The Flies” is about a plane crashing onto an Island and no adult supervision left for the group young boys left behind. Once all of the boys that were scattered along the island gathered, they realized that they were left on there own and can do whatever they want to. The boys then created a structured civilization that doesn't quite strive throughout their time there. In the novel, “Lord Of The Flies” written by William Golding the novel supports philosopher Thomas Hobbes’ theory of the “Ruthless Savage” because the boys are portrayed as bullies and careless. The movie “The Hunger Games” shows several of the same qualities as the novel “Lord Of The Flies”.
There are many things to compare and contrast in the hunger games book and the movie.When
Third, Hazel is a person to admire since she’s humorous. Specifically, Hazel talks about her diagnosis with Stage four thyroid cancer when she was thirteen. “(I didn’t tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You’re a woman. Now die)” (Green 24). This shows Hazel is a person to admire since she is humorous because she jokes about the irony of her becoming a woman to soon be basically diagnosed with character and most likely dying instead of being depressed or self-pitying. Lastly, Hazel is a person to admire since she is smart. In particular, when first conversing with Augustus in the car, she mentions that due to her condition, she had to drop out of from high school, and she can’t go back since she already has taken her GED so now she taking classes from the local community college. This shows that Hazel is a person to admire since she is smart because although, she has dropped out of school, she was still able to take the quite tough test, GED, in order to do so, and seems to be fine taking college level classes at her age of sixteen. Therefore, Hazel is funny and smart, making her a person to admire. In conclusion, the main character in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, Hazel Grace Lancaster, is an admirable
Hazel grace is a dynamic character because she changes throughout the story. In the beginning, Hazel doesn’t want to get close to Augustus, because she was afraid he is going to be shattered when she dies. But towards the ending, hazel finds out it doesn’t matter if you die in the middle of a relationship, it’s about the moments you spend together. A quote in the book, on page 214, “Only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn’t unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn’t want to.”
In every hero’s journey I’ve read in the past, the heroes are always the male character and there were never any females that were a hero/heroine. Joseph Campbell talked a little bit about the heroine, who is a female hero, and most people do not believe that women can be heroes. The first thing that caught my attention in The Hunger Games movie series was the main character and hero, Katniss Everdeen. She was a great example of a hero. She embodies the definition of a hero by the sense of the word; she was not only a great fighter in front of a strong male but she also volunteered to take the place of her little sister who was chosen in the first place. This was an act of heroic self-sacrifice. One of the main roles of the game was to be the sole survivor, but Katniss sacrificed her chance of winning only to save Peeta, whom she developed love for during the game. The actions displayed by Katniss align with Joseph Campbell’s ideal of a hero; “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” On multiple occasions Katniss exemplifies this version of a hero.
The Hunger Games has two vision: The book,and movie.They are differences and similarities.These can change the meaning of the story.
Augustus realizes that a lot of people let their cancer identify them, which it seems at first like Hazel does. Through the novel Augustus mentions multiple times how he wants his life to mean something other than cancer. “I fear that I won’t be able to give anything in exchange for my life. If you don’t live a life in service of a greater good, you’ve gotta
The Hunger Games, Wrinkle in Time, and Star Wars are alike and different in the call to adventure, refusal, and approach.
In the story of hunger games and star wars there hero's journey had many differences and similarities. Some examples of this could come from the Ordinary world, Refusal, and Mentor/Helper.
Humanity craves the control over almost anything that can harm or act as a disadvantage. As predominant as the sun that burns in the sky, mortality has been a constant factor that dictates human condition. That is because the concept of mortality is arguably one of the most pivotal aspects that literature has unceasingly toyed with to influence the reader’s perspective of death. However, why is it age-old classics or even modern-contemporary works provoke readers to accept the ultimate end? To what extent can literature force us to accept or own mortality? Literature holds thin stabbing fingers to the face of readers through creating characters with various mindsets that force us to accept the harsh reality
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
The film The Hunger Games, released in 2012 and based off the first book of a literary trilogy, has become a source of entertainment and intrigue among many Americans. Featuring a futuristic and dystopian United States, it has captured the imagination for some and kindled a intense obsession for others. While on the surface this movie might seem to simply be a story with a riveting plot line about young love, vicious combat, and survival, it is much more than that. As most films do, if one takes a closer look, The Hunger Games gives rise to multiple sociological patterns and themes. If one observes with an informed and critical eye, sociological issues that are embedded in the film are revealed. From this, one can draw cultural and
It is quite common nowadays for novel to be made as movie. Actually, the phenomena of novels becoming books have started years ago. Famous novels like Bridget Jones’ Diary, The Notebook, The Lord of the Rings, and let’s not forget Harry Potter series are also successfully made into movies. But nowadays, there is this new phenomenon of The Hunger Games trilogy that often discussed. The cast directly becomes new idols of this generation. Who does not know big names like Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, or Liam Hemsworth? Everybody with technology must know them or at least heard of them. Following in that success path is Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth. The trilogy also comes from young-adult novels. Many people argue that both trilogy share similar characteristics despite there are also some things that differ them.
