The Hunger Games: Comparing The Book And Movie

I choose The Hunger Games for this project. I choose The Hunger Games because it was one of the few books I liked even though I was forced to read it. The time I was reading it the movie wasn't out yet so I had to read the book first. After reading the book, the movie came out soon after. When I went to watch the movie the people I was expecting were not the same in the movie as I expected.

I felt he should of been switched out with katniss's friend Gale. That is all that was more different than expected when reading and
