The Hunger Games And Katniss Comparison

Improved Essays
The protagonist and I are more different than similar. We both view the world differently. The world views us differently. Also, we don't really handle certain situations the same way. Katniss, the protagonist of “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins and I are not truly similar. We could be friends still, even though we're not really the same.

Katniss views the world as a horrible place to be. She thinks that it's a sick and twisted place as well. She has said that “I would never have kids because I wouldn't want them to suffer in a place like this.”

I view the world a quite bit differently. I view the world as an “okay place.” It can be dangerous out here in the world sometimes. No one is necessarily safe in this world. People are getting

    There were many similarities between the movie and the story. A similarity that the story and movie had was that you could hear the whistle and the metallic sound. This was very important to the movie because if there was not a whistle, you would not get the same feeling as you did in the story. Another similarity was that the movie had the same wording taken directly from the “Adventures of the Speckled Band”. This was essential to the movie because if they didn’t take the wording from the story, what else could they have said.…

    Dystopian literature can be very similar between different pieces of writing even though they may not seem alike each other at first. Many dystopian books are different and seem like that once you have finished reading them, but once you analyse them and look deeper you can realise how they are very much alike in many areas. William Golding and Suzanne Collins both use internal and external conflicts to present a bleak warning of the future; this is shown similarly in their novels “Lord of the Flies” and “The Hunger Games” Many characters in both of these novels often struggle with making difficult decisions; this is an internal conflict. In “The Hunger Games” Katniss has to decide whether to run to the cornucopia or run for the forest like her mentor has told her to do, she is having a hard time deciding because it could mean the difference between her winning or losing the hunger games. In “The Lord Of The Flies”…

    Equality and Katniss: Both Similar and Different The author of Anthem and the author of The Hunger Games trilogy never shook hands, but the extensive similarities and sizeable differences between Katniss and Equality are clear. Similarities and differences possess the ability to be unified with each other to recognize strong characters and heroes throughout literatures; however, they can also be put up against each other as opposing forces in constant battle. It is important to take a step back and remember that both similarities and differences should be looked at and admired, as it is what makes each character in a story unique from the others.…

    This book that I have read had a great story with an amazing plot. The ending of the story was pretty sad but to me it was kind of unfinished, because of the story continuing in the third book. I would change the ending to something that would make more sense. This story ends at where Katniss is already saved by Finnick and they are at the hospital discussing about rebellion. After telling Katniss that Peeta was not saved and how the Capitol bombed and destroyed her home district she loses control and becomes even more depressed.…

    In the Hunger Games, the most important similarities the movie shared with the book was making Peeta initiate the idea of him and Katniss being lovers. This is so significant because, without this, most of the main events in the book and movie would never have taken place. For one, this angle would have left Katniss to be just another face in the crowd, not making her stand out, which also meant fewer sponsors, decreasing her chances of survival. However, the most important reason for this is because Katniss would have left Peeta to die when he needed her the most and she would not have been able to plant the small seeds of defiance against the capital. In the movie and novel, the games take a surprising turn when an announcement goes out that…

    Jack Woodford once said, “Characterization is an action that flows out of action and dialogue.” As a writer back in the 30’s and 40’s Woodford wrote an extraordinary amount of non-fiction, so he knows what it takes to be a well-liked character in either a story or a movie. Whether it’s being a hero in a movie, or a sacrifice from a small village, these are two things that Katniss Everdeen and Tess Hutchinson had to endure throughout their life. The life that these two characters lived are what formed them into who they are in their story.
