Hunger Games Book And Movie Similarities

Improved Essays
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. It is easier to compare when there are more words in common with a movie and a story. The movie and story were alike because it had the same characters. Having the same characters is important because the story wouldn’t be the same. For example in the book, Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen was the main character. If the producers changed the character into another person, the story wouldn’t be as interesting. In conclusion, these were some examples of how the movie and the story were similar. …show more content…
One difference would be that Dr. Roylott wasn’t the way the author described him in the movie. In the story, he was described as being big, strong, and tall. In the movie, he was the same height as Sherlock Holmes (a little smaller) and he wasn’t as big. Dr. Roylott could put the iron stick in a circle, but Sherlock Holmes could too. Another difference would be that instead of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Watson staying in the Village Inn they stayed in an old house in the forest. If they stayed in the Village Inn, it wouldn’t have a deep effect on the viewer's perspective because it was all dark and gloomy in the old

    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”…

    Once again, these comparisons, and contrasts, play an important role in the way that a story is looked at, and interpreted.

    In my group discussion, the ideas of three other members changed my direction and path along my opinion and perspectives about the Hunger Games. I listened to their point of views on the story, theme, how Panem is mirrored in the real world, and especially the analysis and growth of the protagonist, Katniss. One of the members discussed the cruel and hasty setting of District 12, as Katniss declared on page 6, “District twelve. Where you can starve to death in safety.” I agreed with her ideas about the dark and poor setting of the district, although this wasn’t new information at all.…

    When comparing the universes in which Anne of Green Gables and The Hunger Games exist, it is easy to see that the former takes place in a smaller, much more contained environment, whereas the latter inhabits a more expansive and far-reaching world. Despite these contrasting settings, the key element that the two universes both commonly share is the concept of different groups of people, and the varying power dynamics between them. Although utilized in different manners, Collins and Montgomery both enlist the help of food to emphasize and illuminate these power dynamics between characters. In The Hunger Games, Collins introduces Panem, a nation established in a post-apocalyptic world composed of twelve districts; each with a varying degree…

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
