I really do not get all of the appeal behind The Hunger Games. This is similar to The Twilight Saga, not that both franchises are the exact same, but they're both highly overrated franchises that are geared mostly towards teenagers. The only difference is that The Hunger Games tries to appeal to all demographics, but just ends up being REALLY obnoxious--- once you see the poster for this movie 1000 times. The one with Katniss on it. This is one of the most ANNOYING movie posters, if not THE most annoying movie poster I have ever seen. It's everywhere, even when the second movie is about to be released. Sorry, but The Hunger Games will not be as memorable as Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. It's just another

In both books they share some traits, even though they may not look anything alike they are. both of these novels are dystopian novels and many characters share similarity’s.
The book The Hunger Games is full of critical scenes. A critical scene is a type of scene that is necessary for the book to have a story. One very important critical scene is when Prim was chosen at the reaping. When she was chosen Katniss decided to take her place as a tribute. Why did Katniss take her place? What could have happened if she didn't take her place?
The Hunger Games are basically the embodiment of society's off sense of entertainment. It combines the oddities that are violence and reality TV. However, what is it that insinuates the tones for this type of movie? Initially, there's a scene that addresses the fact that the society of this movie is conducting the games as though it was a standardized athletic tournament. In the movie, Haymitch Abernathy brings up how there are sponsors who deliver supplies to the “contestants”. Basically, sponsors influence the who will live or die, incidentally affecting the course of the games. During this scene, he claims, “And to get sponsors, you have to make people like you.” This scene mentions the thought on how people living in societies today work
The Hunger Games was a good movie when it came out. This movie refers to a dystopia world in which there are 12 districts and a capitol who rules with an iron fist, in which the districts must provide a tribute to fight in an annual Hunger Game as a punishment for a past rebellion. Katniss Everdeen is a hunter from the 12th district, which Gale, her friend gives her tips on hunting. One day her sister, Primrose Everdeen, is chosen for the Hunger Games, and in order to save her, she volunteers instead to serve in the Games along with Peeta Mellark. During a TV interview, Peeta confesses her love for Katniss Everdeen, which causes the enragement of the latter; however, she later forgives him as he explains to her that it was only to gain sponsors. During the Hunger Games, she did not receive a lot of supplies except some medicine to cure a wound, but Districts 1 and 2 almost won the Game due to their training, and amount of supplies which Katniss destroys but cannot recover any of them. The Hunger Games was one of the best movies I ever watched because it has a little bit of everything and it captures the real-life survival game that we live on a daily basis.

Holden tries to preserve his own innocence, and the innocence of others by not letting go of childhood memories and through his desire to suspend time. Holden views the adult world as corrupt and full of phonies. He admires childhood because of how it is free of corruption, and untouched by the adult world. IN order to preserve his own innocence Holden often attaches himself to childhood memories. The Museum of NAtural History is one of Holden’s favourite places .

The Hunger Games, directed by Gary Ross, was released in 2012. The film is about a young girl who lives in one of the twelve districts of the Capitol of Panem. To keep these districts from resorting to war like past times, the capitol now forces one girl and one boy to fight to the death until only one remains. Jennifer Lawrence, staring as Katniss Everdeen, has been chosen to represent district 12. The film uses many different elements to display all the emotional and physical struggles Katniss must endure while participating in the games.
In today’s pop culture, a character that perfectly portrays both feminine and masculine characteristics is difficult to find. Finding a character that is single-handedly brave yet fearful, lovely yet lethal, and feminine yet ferocious is nearly impossible. However, award-winning author Suzanne Collins creation named Katniss Everdeen is just that. Adapted from Collins original series, The Hunger Games was brought to the big screen in 2012 by director Gary Ross. The film focuses on a girl named Katniss, a teenager living in a lower-class dystopian society. Along with thousands of other young children and teenagers, Katniss is forced to represent her district and enter her name into a grotesque lottery, with the
The idea of our country being separated into different districts and being forced to pick random children and have them fight to the death is very farfetched. But the concept of poverty, war, separation, and famine are so very easy to grasp. The Hunger Games presents each of these things in the movie and makes its audience understand and start thinking that this story line could possibly happen in reality. The idea that people are struggling on many different levels, both the people of Panem and the ones living in America. Panem and our society today have many similarities. There are many differences and similarities in survival, punishment, physical appearance, and control in Panem that is also seen in today's world. Although The Hunger Games and Panem are not real, the ideas and things presented in the movie could possibly happen. That idea is what draws the viewer in and has people really thinking about where our society is headed.
“May the odds be ever in your favor.” Suzanne Collin’s famous dystopian society novel “The Hunger Games” is full of suspense and action.

The article, “How newspapers reviewed ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ in the 1960,” was written by Joshua Barajas and he uses facts and statistics to show that To Kill A Mockingbird was a successful book. The author uses logical appeal well to reveal that To Kill A Mockingbird is a good book.
The novel Anthem by Ayn Rand and the movie The Hunger Games directed by Francis Lawrence and Gary Ross are popular among teens because they can relate to them by the high expectations put upon them. In a dystopian novel or movie, there is a dystopian protagonist. A dystopian protagonist is someone who often feels trapped, struggles to escape, questions existing systems, believes or feels as if something is wrong in the place they live in, and then helps the audience realize the effects of dystopian worlds. These are both good examples because it takes us on a walk through the protagonist's life and only then do we see what dystopian really is.
Director Francis did an excellent job on this film. This movie is one of the most arousal movies I have seen. This movie is based on the Hunger Games series. The Hunger Games is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen and a boy named Peeta Mellark, who both live in district 12; a city full of poverty and dictatorship. Every year Panem, also known as the Capitol, where they randomly chose 24 tributes, 2 from each 12 Districts, of the opposite sexes. The selected candidates are required to train and fight to the death, leaving only the best contestant as the winner. Originally Primrose Everdeen was chosen as the female contestant for district twelve, but instead her older sister Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute to save her little sister’s life. Then, Peeta Mellark was chosen for the male tribute.
Being able to survive on your own is something you learn as you grow into an adult. For those living in Panem, specifically Katniss Everdeen, it’s mandatory. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a story where the main character, Katniss, navigates her way through a deadly tournament in which there is no escape. The book beautifully displays several themes of loss and conflict that almost anyone can relate too. The book was later made into a movie, which provided an elegant illustration of our favorite characters in person. The Hunger Games book is clearly more powerful than the movie because it gives a first person account of different conflicts that we aren’t able to experience in the movie and the characters are better developed in the
