The Hunger Games: Comparison Between The Book And The Movie

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.

The book I read for this first independent reading assignment is Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. This novel showed a dystopian world, in which books have been banned outright, and are being burned by the firemen. This work of fiction possessed many elements that had been shown in other works of literature that I had worked with in the past, though it also possessed definite differences, specifically Lord of The Flies, Ender's Game, and finally 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.

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

The Hunger Games is a violent novel, but Katniss is not a violent character. The deaths can support these points. One in particular is Rue's, another is Cato's, and the third is the everyone else outside hunger games. Rue's death is an example of the novel being violent, because her death was no ordinary death. A spear goes through her body, but the real reason its violent is because she is only 12 years old and murdered in cold blood.

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 and Divergent demonstrate an exaggerated view of the extremes, society has come to, to minimise the drastic effects and repercussions that the present has caused this future dystopian society.

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.

Allow me to preface this by stating that I’m horrible at introductions; it’s not a complete lie, but it does grasp the reader’s attention (albeit usually only because they want to see what monstrosity I ended up with) better than any introduction I can come up with at three in the morning. Onto the actually essay part, now; I found the two books to be amazing in the end, albeit the teen-romance-y stuff in “The Hunger Games” took some getting used to. If I had the time, I might read them again.

One of the most important similarities is the storyline. The storyline of both movies have focused on how the characters struggle hard to survive in harsh surrounding. They keep fighting and escaping without having a thought of giving up. They behold their faiths with endless hopes and braves. In “The Hunger Games”, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to play the games when she sees her sister is chosen to be the “tribute”. She clearly knows it is not a simple game. Most of the people are killed in the games. Despite the threat of the games, she makes this game as a new challenge for her dreams of making a new life. There are “tributes” who attempt to kill her, she manages to save her life by staying and sleeping on the tree. Eventually, Katnitss survives and wins the games. In “2012”, Jackson Curtis returns home to save his family when the earthquake hits California. They feel miserable and pained when they see many people are killed by the tsunami and earthquake. Eventhough the situation is worse, they never give up searching for the ways to survive. At the end of the movie, all of them are safely entering the

The Hunger Games, the introductory novel in a trilogy book series written by author Suzanne Collins in 2008, is a young adult novel that surrounds a teenage girl named Katniss Everdeen in a futuristic tale of a teenager who defies all odds when they are stacked against her. She is shaken to the core with sacrifice, adversity and danger when she finds herself forced to compete in a televised series of games where there is only one survivor. Not only does she want to live, but she has an incredible sense of responsibility to her family that she’s left behind. The film based off of the best selling novel, also entitled, “The Hunger Games,” premiered in March 2012. Director Gary Ross does a great job of incorporating the plot, setting and

In the both narratives, humanity is lost because of the evil that lives within all people. In Lord of the Flies, one of the boys, Roger, giggles when a younger boy is beaten by their Chief, Jack (Golding 176). The physical abuse takes place without reason, demonstrating the cruelty of the boys for not only taking pleasure in another’s pain, but also encouraging Jack to continue with his ill treatment of the boys. In like manner, the annual hunger game is a battle among the districts, in which they are pitted against one other until the last victor remains (The Hunger Games). The game is arranged by the Capital, and the citizens and gamemakers enjoy watching the tributes get killed by disaster, starvation and violence for the sake of entertainment. Both stories involve people being entertained by watching others become injured or killed, affirming them to be savages. Also, when the fire that was started by Jack’s tribe was used to smoke Ralph out of the forest to kill him, it exposes the boys as savages. In The Hunger Games, the gamemakers use fire to reposition Katniss in order to kill her, hurting her in the process. Although fire is necessary in keeping characters from both narratives alive, its purpose is skewed to hurt others, rather than to help them survive. Also, both the film and the novel illustrate human instinct of how people follow and conform to the powerful with control over others. In The Hunger Games, Peeta associates himself with the tributes from District 2, because he is aware that they are the strongest and most powerful above all the other tributes. So, he pretends to be affiliated with Cato’s group, since his chances of survival are far greater with the group than with Katniss . Also, in Lord of the Flies, all the boys abandon Ralph, because of the decline of civilization, which has leads to the empowering of Jack’s chaotic society.

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 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

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.
