Hunger Games book report
The Hunger Games The book and the movie The Hunger Games are both adventurous and suspenseful. The book was written by author Suzanne Collins. She is famous for the Hunger Games trilogy. The book was released on September 14, 2008. The movie was released on March 23, 2012. Both the book and the movie are great. However, there are many differences between them two. There are many big, key differences between the book and the movie. First of all, in the book, most of the book is set in the Arena where Katniss Everdeen and Peeta battle in the Hunger Games. In the movie, it has many scenes outside of the Arena where the movie shows Haymitch, Everdeen’s and Peeta’s mentor. Also, another difference is that the reader cannot see what the viewers in a movie can see because the book is told from the perspective of Everdeen, whereas the movie is told from many different perspectives. Another difference is that the book cuts out a part of the movie that can be important. The scene in the movie is where President Snow tells The Gamemaker not to give the players too much hope. In that scene the viewers can see that President Snow is a true villain. There are many differences about the plot, but there are also many differences about the characters too. First, in the book, Everdeen, the main character, has olive skin, grey eyes, and black hair. In the movie, she has white skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. Another main character named Peeta, has blue eyes and blonde hair. In the movie, Peeta has brown eyes and still has blonde hair. Also, in the book Peeta cannot swim but, in the movie it is said that Peeta is able to swim. Peeta’s personality in both the book and the movie is very compassionate and he is in love with Everdeen. Many viewers and readers like Peeta because of his personality. Another character named Gale, Everdeen’s best friend, has olive skin and black hair, the same as Everdeen. In the movie, he also has white skin and brown hair like Everdeen. However, Gale

    The book and movie had quite a few differences. First off, in the beginning of the book, it showed Vernon Dursley was going to work, and saw all these people in robes (wizards) celebrating. Dursley got super annoyed by all this, and also by the owls fluttering all around him. In the movie, it started off with Dumbledore turning off the lights.…

    The last difference that I'm going to talk about is the themes, or main points, of the book versus the movie. The book was mainly about the hardships that people go through and about the fixing gaps between the rich and the poor. The book expressed the characters emotions and feelings, and the tone is melodramatic and a bit sad. In the movie, however, I don't even…

Peeta is still missing, and Katniss is going to save him. Peeta sends the rebels a coded message warning them that the Capitol will attack them. The Capitol finds out, and responds to this by torturing Peeta. The Capitol continues the bombing of District 13 just as Peeta predicted. The Capitol begins to brainwash Peeta, and makes Peeta believe that Katniss is the enemy. Peeta tries to kill Katniss, but she escapes and heads back to District 2. Katniss tries to get back to the fight, and gets shot once again, and bonds with Victor while she is recovering from the wound. After Katniss is done recovering she tries to do whatever she can to get back into the fight. During the fight, Katniss is put into the same unit as Peeta. This worries Katniss, and Commander Boggs.

    A major difference is the involvement of a plot. In the book, there’s almost no plot at all, except that the character is a military man in France. In the movie, the plot is long, explained well, and a little more interesting than the book. The pit and pendulum themselves have very little involvement in the movie, while in the book, they’re almost always involved and the pit is introduced almost right away. Also, in the movie, there are way more characters.…

    Although the book provides great detail, the movie on the other hand lacked this detail. For example in the book Gale was whipped because he was caught poaching. While in the movie he gets punished by tackling a peacekeeper trying to save an innocent old woman. This change would have been made to make Gale look more heroic. Furthermore, as Katniss and Peeta are on their victory tour they see a mockingjay sign in the tunnel on the way to District 11. This was shown in the movie to show how much unrest…

    However, the novels still teach some valuable lessons, even if it is executed differently. Both novels teach that love is complicated and difficult to understand. Katniss eventually falls in love with Peeta, after faking it for so long. The Hunger Games deals with a lot of peer pressure and doing what others say to accomplish something. On the other hand, Divergent focuses more on following one’s beliefs and heart. Self control is also prominent in both novels. Tris and Katniss suffer so much emotional trauma, they are no longer the same person they were at the beginning of the book. The different types of government in the books also resulted in different societies and rebellions for different reasons. Overall, The Hunger Games and Divergent are both excellent novels that have brilliant messages every individual should…
