“Happy Hunger
Games! And may
the odds be
ever in your
favor!”
I read The
Hunger Games book and watched The
Hunger Games movie. The
Hunger Games is very
famous in America,
especially young people
were impacted. There are some differences
between the book
and the movie The Hunger
Games. In story,
character and scene.
First, the story
is a little
different. In the
book, before the Hunger
Games, Katniss and Peeta
talk on the
roof. In the
movie, they talk
in the room.
And also in
the book, after
Rue’s death, Katniss
gets a small
loaf of bread
from District 11. However
in the
movie, she doesn’t
get it. People
who live in
District 11 plotted
rebellion against the Capitol instead.
Then,
the characters were
different. In the
book, President Snow
was not so
important, but in the
movie, he is
in an important
place. In addition,
the gamemaker, Seneca,
is also in an important
role in the
movie. He accidentally
saved Katniss and
peeta. Finally he
was killed by
President Snow with
poison berries. Some
people were not
in the movie.
The Avox, Peeta’s father, Madge and
so on were
missing. They are
not important role
in the movie.
Finally, several
scenes were different.
In the book,
every scene was explained in a lot
of words. But
in the movie,
sometime they showed
only visual aids to
explain in what was happening.
Especially the story about Peeta
throwing bread to
Katniss was less
information in the
movie. And also story about Katniss’ father and
mother is almost
missing in the movie. In
the book, it
is very important
to understand how Katniss learned
about hunting and
why Katniss took
care of her
mother and Prim.
There are
still differences between the book and the movie The
Hunger Games. I
think the book
is better than the
movie. Becouse in
the book, we
can understand more
details ,and also
it is fun. And there
are two more series of The
Hunger Games books.
If we can
read these books, we
could more enjoy!
