The Hungers Games is another good example of Action/Adventure. The story begins with a girl named Katniss Everdeen lives in a place called Capitol of Panem, which once used to be North America and she is zoned in District 12 and every year the Capitol holds its Hunger Games and the Hunger Games is a game where they select a boy and a girl from each District to compete against each other until death and Katniss volunteers as tribute because her little sister gets chosen and she does not want her sister to die.

    There are 7.2 billion people on Earth and no one is the same. Even though babies are born with no knowledge about their surroundings, they learn and adapt to it as they grow up. Their character keeps changing because of the influence from the outside world. Such major influences are social and political issues. Authors and filmmakers are trying to portray the social/political issues that people from a particular country faces to everyone through their films and novels. Poverty and freedom are the most common issues faced by people in almost every country. The film Hunger Games and McLaughlin’s novel Scored best illustrate these…

    The process of adapting a novel into a two hour film is not an easy one. Directors and play writers have to determine which pieces to focus on, what parts must be dropped, and which theme will they choose to emphasize the most. The possibility of creating a movie exactly like the book it was inspired by is nearly impossible. Naturally, The Hunger Games is no exception to this system. Author, Suzanne Collins creates a world far beyond our wildest imaginations and drops us straight into the middle of the chaos known as “the games”. It is the prerogative of the director to shape the story however he chooses, in order to capture his audience. For Gary Ross, capturing our attention was not hard with the storyline. How could we not be captivated by a heroine who was prepared to save herself at whatever cost, especially with a love story in the mix. The basic plot of The Hunger Games was not lost in translation from book to screen, only a few details managed to change. One of the biggest differences in the adaptation was the lack of Madge, the mayor’s daughter. Madge is not one of the main characters by far, but she is important in distinguishing the differences between the two classes in district 12. She is the one who gives Katniss the mocking jay pin, and instead of using her in the movie, they have Katniss find the pin at the Hob. Madge may not be necessary for this particular part of the saga, but in the later books, I’m not sure how the director is going to get around leaving her out. Another difference is that the story is not told from Katniss’ point of view. In film, it is difficult to have a voice over going throughout the entire movie, and so rather than have Katniss’ thoughts and inner monologues, Ross used other characters such as Caesar Flickerman and the other announcer to tell what was happening during the games, as well as filming from Katniss’ point of view to show what she was seeing. While the film and book are different in these ways,…

    On August 10, 1962, Suzanne Collins was born in Hartford, Connecticut. She was the youngest of four children and the daughter of an Air Force officer. For this reason, Suzanne moved a significant amount during her childhood, living in a variety of different places. To her family, history was an immensely important topic because her father taught this at a History was an immensely important topic in her family because her dad was a history teacher at a college level. Her father shared military experiences with his children. Collins states “I believe he felt a great responsibility and urgency about educating his children about war ... So throughout our lives we basically heard about war."(1) As a child Suzanne like to read about Greek and Roman…

    The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins had me interested because it deals with a sixteen year-old girl that goes through a drastic change after some events that happen in her life. The Hunger Games is about a girl, Katniss, that volunteers to take the place of her 12 year-old sister, Prim, in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a televised event in which a boy and a girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each of the 12 districts of Panem, is randomly chosen each year to fight to the death against the other 23 participants, or more commonly known as “tributes.” The tributes are enclosed in a large, dangerous arena that is controlled by the “Capitol.” They must fight to the death and find a way to survive and be the last one alive, to win what are known as “The Hunger Games.” Katniss promises she would win for her sister. In the end, not only does she win, but her fellow tribute Peeta Mellark which comes from the same district as her, wins as well. They manage this by acting like “lovers,” throughout the entire event, so that the audience feels sorry for them. I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I have ever read. It gives the genre Fantasy Fiction/Sci-Fi a whole different aspect. I personally do not like that genre, but when I read this one it made me realize that I shouldn’t judge the entire genre just because of one book that I had read in the past. However, since there aren’t many books based on dystopias it makes it interesting to read about a little something less common in literature. All in all, this is one great piece.…

    The last reason The Hunger Games is a dystopian novel is free speech isn’t given. Katniss said, “ When I was younger, I scared my mother to death, the things I would blurt out about District 12 about the people who ruled our country Panem...I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.” Katniss’s mother must have known of something that happened previously to someone that spoke badly about the Capitol. This is the reason she would get scared when Katniss would use her free speech and say what was on her mind.…

    1. Reality competitive shows and survival shows are still part of almost every channel’s line-up of shows to this day. These shows feature competitors such as models, singers, dancers, fashion designers, and even chefs. Airing these shows is a win-win situation, because they aren’t only entertaining, but they are cheap to produce as well. There are no high talent fees or scripts to write, just the perfect assortment of characters thrown in, challenges for them to accomplish and a grand prize to await the winner. The viewers in turn get hooked because they are presented with potential heroes to root for, to hate and/or to sympathize with. The fact that it is a “reality” show naturally gives it that element of genuineness and also of surprise. They somehow live vicariously through the competitors. On the other hand, they are also interested in the way they suffer.…
