'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'

Decent Essays
Well starting next week we are going to watch The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I will first compare the movie to Butler work. I felt Katniss is stuck here because President Snow has seen through her innocent acting conspiracy. This was just like Butler said a person leaves one closet to enter another closet, but sometime I think we don’t even realize that we have entered a new closet. It’s just we want to live in one closet believing everything is going to be fine, but latter on we realize it is not easy to live in one closet for our whole live. We have to evolve ourselves for the situation we are put into. If I was compare to Divergent, Katniss and Beatrice are the same, but the only thing that changes are the different situation they are

    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…
