One major thing about the plan that is in the movie that is not in the books is the fact the the bread that Katniss and her allies received in the arena was a code for the time of the escape. This is explained on page 175. Katniss says, “The bread we received in the arena was code for the time of the rescue. The district where the bread originated indicated the day. Three. The number of rolls the hour. Twenty-four.” movie- In the movie when Plutarch explains the plan he doesn’t mention the bread . Plutarch says, “ Katniss, you have been our mission from the beginning. The plan was always to get you out. Half of the tributes were in on it. This is the revolution and you are the mockingjay. And we are on our way to district 13 right now.”
That shows how in the book they mention the bread and in the movie they don’t.

    The scene of the party in the movie shows Nick in a drunken state and unable to control what he was doing. The book, however, doesn’t take the party to that extremity. The second difference that I would like to point out is the relationship between Nick and Jordan. The movie failed to show the romantic relationship that the two had together while the book seemed to display a much more rather intimate relationship. And the final difference I would like to call to attention is the death of Gatsby.…

    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…

Katniss’ ally in the Hunger Games is Peeta Mellark, a 16 year old boy that was the male tribute reaped for the 74th Hunger Games. Whilst Katniss and Peeta have contrasting opinions and personality traits, they share the same quality that lots of other characters have in this franchise, the need to protect others and survive. Of course, Peeta hasn’t had as much practice at survival as Katniss has due to his ever-so-slightly kinder upbringing. Peeta’s character…
