Suzanne Collins is the author of The Hunger Games, which is an intense, suspenseful, and thrilling book and movie that contains many unexpected twists and turns. All of the readers and viewers of the Hunger Games confirmed that this is an astonishing movie and book. The book keeps you interested, because you’re turning each page with suspense. For the movie, you are just waiting to see what will happen next! I’ve heard many positive review about this book and the movie too! Therefore, these are the reasons of why I choose The Hunger Games.
The basic summary of The Hunger Games starts with Katniss, the main character, to go hunt with Gale, her friend. Every year the annual Hunger Games is held where two people from each district will fight for their life in the arena until there is only one person left alive. Katniss’s little sister, Prim is chosen, but not until Katniss volunteers to take her place and fight in the Hunger Games. Throughout the Hunger Games, Peeta makes alliances the Careers to protect Katniss. Shortly after, Katniss makes an alliance with Rue, but she got killed. Then, an announcement is made that two tributes from the same district can win. This causes Katniss to team up with Peeta, the tribute from the same district as her, but Peeta got seriously injured from Cato. Peeta’s leg is getting an infection and this may kill him . Though, Katniss and Peeta are working together to survive, but then there is the feast, where you can retrieve the the most essential item each district needs to live. Instantly Katniss knows that is where she can get Peeta’s medicine!
Katniss leaves for the feast, and fights for her life for that medicine, but Katniss gets an intermediate cut by her eyebrow. This medicine helps Peeta imm...

...rt, and everything seemed to go by quicker. Also, I was disappointed because the way Suzanne Collins described things in the book, did not live up to my standards of what I imagined in the movie. For example, Katniss’s interview dress was covered in gems in the book. On the other hand, in movie it was just a pink dress with glitter on it, so it barely sparkled and shimmered. The last reason I would prefer the printed interpretation instead of the audio-visual, is because the movie excluded some parts of the book. For example, in the book it rained in the arena continuously, non-stop. This affected Katniss’s and Peeta’s survival. This goes to show there are differences and similarities between a book and movie, sometimes more than another, but I definitely prefer the book of The Hunger Games instead of the movie!

Love and hope, together are a timeless literary thematic duo, which continue to inspire countless variations and sub-genres of romance literature. For the last many centuries, romance as a genre, is arguably the most popular of all narratives. However, the theme of love often takes presentences and overarches other thematic interpretation of stories. So why then are people seeking romance in the literature they ready? Suzanne Collins wrote The Hunger Games with the intent to introduce her young adult readership to a number of politically charged themes. Although Collins's work is acknowledged for successfully presenting themes of sacrifice, versions of reality, and power, her audience conversely identifies with the debatable sub-them of love. Social forums, such as the Official Hunger Games Facebook Website exposes an insider's perspective of sort, which reveals public perceptions and interpretations of Collins's work. Even though the purpose for the fan-website built around The Hunger games is to provide a discussion space. Participant's discussions however, unintentionally reveal a...

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.

The movie The Hunger Games, originally based on a book by Suzanne Collins, is about a place called Panem, which is ruled by the Capitol and has 12 districts within it. These 12 districts are separated founded on their economic statuses, meaning the higher the district, the more impoverished the residents are. There are 2 tributes that are chosen to participate, forcibly, in The Hunger Games each year. Each competitor is instructed to eliminate one another in order to survive and come out on top. There is only one tribute allowed to come out of the arena alive. Katniss lives in District 12, which is the most impoverished district of them all, and she volunteers as tribute in “the Reaping” when her sister is chosen to participate. She and the other tribute from her district, Peeta, make it into the arena with the hopes that one of them comes out the winner and above all else, alive (Ross, 2012). I will refrain from going any further just in case you have not read the book or have not seen the movie. In terms of soci...
