...The Hunger Game Have you ever seen The Hunger Games movie and read The Hunger Games book? Well, if you did you will see that both the book and the movie are based on the same plot, but with small differences. The Hunger Games is a science fiction novel written by Suzanne Collins. It is narrated by the voice of Katniss Everdeen, who lives in nation of Panem which used to have 13 district but now only 12 districts. The Capitol is the advanced city that takes control of the whole nation. The Hunger Games are a series of yearly events in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle to the death. The Hunger Game book contains the original ideas; however, The Hunger Games movie has some different contents that don’t resemble the same contents of the book. In other words, there are some characters and scene that are different. The book mentions characters that were omitted in the movie such as Madge Undersee, the Avox girl, and Peeta’s father. In the other hand, some characters are presented in both similarly such as Cinna and Rue. The book and the movie are narrated in two different styles; the book as a first person narration whereas the movie as a third. As a result, some scenes are added to the movie and are not in the book. Madge Undersee is the daughter of the mayor of District 12 and Katniss’ best female friend. She is one of the first characters that are introduced...

...The other day, I ran across this article and skimmed through it. I disagree with much of the author’s interpretation of the film. The books and the movie are not contrivances attempting to change people’s ideology. They’re stories. If Collins was pushing a viewpoint regarding capitalism, it really shouldn’t be so difficult to discover. The author of the article makes this difficulty clear in floundering to draw inferences. That details can be isolated and confounded into such a conspiracy reflects that the author of this article has his own ideas he is imposing upon The Hunger Games. Fiction books making political points are far more overt than these. Look at Orwell’s classics Animal Farm and 1984. Look at Ayn Rands books (if you can stand the thorough absence of spirituality and moral truth). Look at State of Fear by Michael Crichton. You don’t have to go digging into the esoteric and the obscure, and if you did, you would find more than this paucity of lines which back your claim. With these works, you can see plainly what the authors intended to say regarding the real world. That’s the whole point, really. If you want to make someone think something, you don’t hide it so much. If Suzanne Collins intended her books to be anti-capitalist, she did a pretty terrible job of it, focusing so exclusively on Katniss’ emotional tug-of-war. I don’t think it necessary to even address the ‘historical timing’ of the 74th Hunger Games in comparison to Roosevelt’s New Deal legislation,...

...Boganalyse af "The hungergames" Jeg har i et kort forløb ladet mig dykke ned i denne fantastiske bog af Suzanne Collins ved navn "Dødsspillet" Som er oversat fra den engelske version "The hungergames". Jeg har igennem forløbet skulle, bruge nogle forskellige teknikker og øvelser, som ville hjælpe mig med at blive mere udviklet som læser. Der gik ikke længe, før jeg nærmest bandt mig til bogen. Den blev så spændene, at jeg måtte drage den med på forskellige cafebesøg, endda blev den smidt i tasken til over flere besøg hos mine bekendte, og den var altid ved min side ved hver en lejlighed det var muligt for mig, lige at smuglæse et par sider igennem. Normalt vil jeg ikke mene, at den type genre er mig, men bogen har virkelig et spændene og gennemtænkt plot, hvor jeg ikke bliver forvirret over måden forfatteren har formuleret sig på. Bogen foregår i landet Panem, hvor hovedpersonen den 16 årige Kattua bor sammen med sin moder, og søster. Panem er et helt specielt land. Det er delt op i 12 distrikter, som alle er styret af de magthavende fra hovedstaden Capitol. Hvert år udvælges én dreng og én pige fra hvert af Panems 12 distrikter til at kæmpe i det blodfyldte Dødspil. Kattua og hendes familie er ludfattige, og efter faderens forsvinden, har de ikke andet end Kattua tilbage til at sørge for dem. Det er dog ikke et problem for hende, da hun er vand til at jage med bue og pil, i den bevoksede skov tæt på distriktet. Ikke nok med at Panem skal udvælge to til at deltage...
