The Phenomena of The Hunger Games and Divergent

The series' first book, The Hunger Games, was released in 2008. Its two sequels, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, were published in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Overall, the series has been a fantastic success, selling more than 50 million print and electronic copies.

The movie Divergent is based on the novel by Veronica Roth. The book and film takes place in future Chicago where there are five factions; Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite, Amity, and Candor. People in future Chicago take a test to determine what faction is most like them. If multiple factions are the result of the test, then it is determined that the person is Divergent. This is a rare story of Beatrice Prior’s experience as being Divergent and surviving in the Dauntless community.

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.

The Divergent series, written by Veronica Roth in 2011, has been the latest addition to the genre of teen dystopian stories and films since The Giver started it all. The first film of the series, Neil Burger’s Divergent, has since been released and is loved by fans of the book for its faithfulness to the novel. Just like the Hunger Games, the film changes some of its character development and violence to better please its younger teenage audience and the MPAA for its PG-13 rating, but maintains its main themes of identity and social classes.

Dystopian films and books have become popular over the past few years. These tend to reflect the way in which society could possibly soon turn if expecting extremes. Dystopian literature and media also tend to have utopian elements as well. While the societies in these works are strict and controlling, they do offer something that our society could possibly benefit from. Divergent has this element. The population is broken up into five factions that represent the different types of people in society and separate those who would fight easily due to their personal morals. The Hunger Games on the other hand (when modern society crumbled) they punished their citizens for fighting the government. While yes there was a chance for riches in the Hunger Games, it took risking your life to get it. In addition, if one did win the Hunger Games they would have an extremely easy life due to riches and a free luxury house. Divergent does not have this part, as its utopian aspect is the fact different ideals are separated from each other. Utopian literature is a reflection that is a perceived direction society may go. In these stories, mirrors are a device used to symbolically state the universe of the film is a reflection not a reality.

There are several differences between the book and movie adaptation of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Some of these similarities are very clearly portrayed in the story, and several of the differences made profound changes in my perception of the story line. These changes included plot and the way the story was told.

The book “The Hunger Games” was written by Suzanne Collins and it’s the first book out of the trilogy she has written. Collins uses a mixture of modern and classical as elements in this story and it allows for any age reader to enjoy it. Some the literary devices she uses in the book are setting, symbolism, and themes. It’s everything you could want in a book because it has a little bit of each genre, like action, romance, comedy, and even mystery. This book will have you sitting at the edge of your seat on minute and then grabbing for a tissue the next. When reading this book, “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins and looking at the setting, symbolism, and theme it’s easy to sense the different tones and emotions going on in the story.

1984 and The Hunger Games are two brilliant novels written by two award winning authors. They contain many characteristics that typical dystopian novels possess; however, they’re presented differently to create the fictitious environments, where both characters live. Which is why they make such great pieces of Literature to compare.

While both The Hunger Games and Divergent are dystopian series with female leads that rebel and lose family, in Divergent the characters have more choice in their destiny while in the Hunger Games they live in fear of their future.

The movie Divergent is based off the acclaimed novel by Veronica Roth which has sold millions of copies world-wide. It is mainly a coming of age story in a dystopian society that is beginning to undergo a revolution. The lead heroine, Tris, must suffer many tragedies before realizing who she is told to be and who she really is. Many films in this genre have common thematic elements such as tragedy, conformity, and betrayal. Divergent is a story of coming of age, because Tris undertakes a transformation caused by a revolution in a society that was built to protect against such a revolt.

Divergent is a movie based on a book written by Veronica Roth. The book was published on April 25th, 2011. One of the things that made this movie a very interesting one for the audience, was the chemistry between the actors. They would take so seriously the character that you can feel the pain, love, hate and appreciation between the characters.

The Divergent movie and novel are very popular in the teenage demographic the book was so successful that the made a movie out of it but they do certainly have a lot of these in common but they also have a lot of differences. The movie has taken out a lot of what made Divergent’s characters interesting since they have a limited time to work with they leave out a lot of details that make the people who went to see the movie disappointed and frustrated with the lack of effort of dedication that was put in the book but the movie lacks. There are always things that are missing in the movie adaptation of a book because a person can make a book as long as they want to but with a movie it had to be maximum three hours.

"The Hunger Games" is a science fiction novel written by the American author Suzanne Collins that was published in 2008. A film adaptation directed by Gary Ross was released in 2012. Although some movie adaptations differ greatly from the original stories presented in the books, this adaptation follows the plot development in an unusually detailed manner. However, certain changes were made that influence our perception of the movie.

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.
