The Hunger Games: Comparing The Book And Movie

The Hunger Games: Fight to the Finish In the adaptation of the film The Hunger Games and the book of The Hunger Games they portray very different characteristics. The filmmakers deviated the Hunger Games scenes in a more dramatic way than before. Representing District 13, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark were forced to go and compete in the 74th Hunger Games and fight for their lives. But as these scenes progressed they both get very captivating and very dramatic in both the book and the film. This film has made huge fluctuations to the fighting scene than they did in the book. In The Hunger Games book, during the fighting scene, the capital did not give as much help nor did they have all of the capabilities they did in the fighting scene

At the beginning of this scene, it shows that Katniss received a small metal water bottle in the film, however, the water bottle she received in the book was plastic and half of a gallon. This is meaning that all of the contributors gave a lot more in the book rather the film. Also that she had more fans on her side rooting for her in the book and she didn’t do something right in the film. In the film, Katniss finds out that Peeta is with a group of other tributes after they killed a girl from district eight. Showing in the film that Peeta is actually with the other tributes and getting along with them in the movie shows that he is trying to get everyone he can on his team during the games. However, in the book, Katniss finds out that Peeta volunteers to go back and kill the girl from district eight by himself. This is making Peeta sound more sentimental and more caring rather than the film. At the end of the first day in the book it says that only eleven tributes had been killed. But it showed in the film that thirteen tributes had been killed. Having more people die is showing that they are taking this more serious and they are way more ruthless in the film and not the book. While Katniss took a nap in a tree she was awoken by animals running away from a fire that the capitol started. On the other hand, in the film she is awoken by only the fire and there were not any animals

They never had the success in killing her, so they waited for her to come down but while they were waiting they all fell asleep. During the next morning in the book it says that Katniss thinks of a plan to cut down a branch that had tracker jackers on. In the movie it shows that Rue wakes up Katniss and points to the branch that the tracker jackers were on and gives her the idea to cut down the branch. Cutting down the branch would make the tracker jackers land on the other tributes attack as well as killing them. In the book how Katniss was the one to think of the plan to cut down the branch is trying to show that she is strong minded and she is very independent. But as Rue shows her in the film, it is showing that intelligence doesn’t just come with age. Intelligence comes with experience and that anyone at any age can show their skill. Also it is showing that Rue was on Katniss’ side and Rue wanted the other tributes dead.. Once this day was over, many of the tributes had gotten killed by the other tributes. In the book, hovercrafts pick up all of the eleven tributes that were killed as soon as they were killed. But then, in the film the hovercraft only comes for Rue after she got poisoned by one of the other tributes while trying to help Katniss. This part of the scene in the film is very significant because it is showing that the Capitol as a whole is trying to show
