The Hunger Games: Comparing The Book And The Movie

In the fictional novel The Hunger Games, selected teenagers are forced to fight for their lives in an arena when an entire nation watches on. Leaders from the Capitol who are in power use this tactic to dehumanized the people from the other districts. The concept of dehumanization has applied to various religions, races, and nationalities throughout history. From slavery to the Holocaust to genocides around the world, dehumanization has been used to continue on ways of living and justify certain acts. Pieces of literature attesting to this treatment are great sources of proof that dehumanization has occurred throughout history. In The Hunger Games, the leaders from the Capitol showed dehumanization on a grand scale by assigning very little value to human life to the citizens of Panem. The people in power take advantage of the victim this concept continues to be document in literature and the media.

The film the hunger games is a science fiction/thriller film which is directed by Gary Ross, the film is about a once North America country which is now known as panem and the capitol has to maintain control over the district, they do this by holding the hunger games which is an event when they choose 2 tributes from each district a boy and a girl which fight to the death which is publicly televised, but the capital allow one winner for the district to have hope, throughout the film there are many characters which I feel sympathy, likeability, negative characterises and character development about but the main two which I feel the most sympathy towards Peeta and Katniss.

There are many things to compare and contrast in the hunger games book and the movie.When

The similarities between the book and the movie were that Mea was going to get sent to the gallows to die for what she had done. Also, Mea hit the man in the yellow suit on the head with a shotgun. Another similarity is they have the same setting, plot and the characters in both book and movie. My fourth similarity is when Winnie found Jesse drinking the water and wanted a drink herself but, Jesse stop her before she could start drinking

Another type of difference is the clothing. Effie Trinket’s reaping suit in the book was described as spring green in the movie the dress was pink. During the interview with a popular T.V interview show named Caesar Flickerman Glimmer outfit in the book was described as see-though gold gown in the movie was the dress was pink. Katniss interview dress in the book was described as entirely covered in reflective precious gems, red and yellow with bits of blue tips that is supposed to look like a flame design. In the movie it was a simple red dress with a lot of false fire implanted in panels along the hem. When Katniss and Peeta are talking on the roof in the book she’s wearing a “thick, fleecy nightgown” in the movie she’s wearing a tight jacket and a knee-length

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.

In the book and the movie there were many differences in survival and hunger. In the movie Katniss journey during the game is very detail and very well told. In the movie the her journey went very fast and wasn't as detailed. I specific difference is when Katniss find the water source right away in the book but in the movie it takes her about a day to find water after she gets a little weak. Another difference in survival is when Katniss gets hit with the fireball she gets the ointment sent to her from sponsor in both the movie and the book but in the movie when she puts it on it heals right away unlike in the book when it takes a little while to heal.

The book series Catching Fire a lot of similarities and differences to the movie. For example, in the book, Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch trained for the games the minute they are announced, while in the movie they don’t train for the game at all. This is because in the movie they wanted to show them being unprepared for the games. Another example, in the book, Katniss and Peeta make allies with the other tributes during training, and in the movie they barely talk to the other tributes. This is because in the movie they wanted to make the other tributes “bad guys”. One similarity is that in both the book and movie both Katniss and Haymitch get reaped for the games, and Peeta volunteers for Haymitch. They decided to keep this scene in both the

Like in most movie adaptations of books, there were consistent similarities between the book To Kill a Mockingbird and its movie counterpart. For example, the death of Tom Robinson is in both book and movie. Tom's death was incredibly important to the story. The movie would have been way too emotional and ooey-googey if he would have lived. However, the differences always outweigh the similarities.

The Hunger Games novel and the Hunger Games movie. Have to compare and contrast the difference and the similarity of both the novel and the movie of the Hunger Games. First thing first, the similarity of the novel and the movie is that they have the same setting. Also, Gale and Katniss have feelings for each other. Katniss volunteers for her sister Primrose.

In 1984, the Party has a daily event called the Two Minutes of Hate. Everyone goes to this event and yells and screams at the face of Emmanuel Goldstein. Goldstein was known to be the leader of Brotherhood, which was a rebellious group towards Big Brother. In this way the book and movie are similar because Katnis was looked at as an enemy just like Emmanuel was in

The novels 1984 and The Hunger Games both have huge similarities between them that both help them set up their stories perfectly. Both novels consist of a society that has had a terrible fallout from war and are now set up in a dystopian society where the ruler is hated among most and the people live in terrible conditions. Similarities between the two novels include social status, the role children play in both societies, living conditions, authority, hatred towards life, and dictator-like rulers.

While there are many things that are the same, or close to being the same in the book and movie, there are many things that are different. There are three things that stick out more than others. Those would be the names, location, and the opening scenes.

I found the two book alike because they both have scenarios where a group of teenagers must compete for their future/lives. In The Hunger Games, there are The Hunger Games where the tributes who would fight from each district in the book for the entertainment of the people. The games are similar to the tests because in both cases they are challenged to determine their fate. Both main characters are also alike, in The Hunger Games Katniss is knowledgeable about her society's secrets and secrets the population does not know. Our Sudasa and Kiran also know about how their society lies about their image to the population to preserve a fair and equal

In District 12 of Panem, 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen is walking to meet her friend, Gale, a boy she seems to like, in the woods so they can do some hunting for food. As she’s walking, she thinks about her mother and her younger sister, Prim, who is 12 years old. They have depended on Katniss for food ever since their father died in a mine explosion when Katniss was 11.
