    Why is it that when a book gets it’s own movie that there are several differences between the book and the movie? Some people argue that the book is always better than the movie. There is a reason for this. Firstly, in most book to movie adaptations small details are changed or are just not included. Secondly, the movie often takes short cuts and doesn’t touch on certain aspects that were described in the book. Lastly, when reading a book you are free to make your own subtext and fill in the blanks with your imagination. The movie adaptations of books have always lacked the detail that's in the book, some things are completely cut from the movie to maintain a well paced story, and it fills in the gaps for us making the experience less unique.…

    “Going through thick and thin to attain own objective.” The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, a young girl named Katniss Everdeen faces her fate that was decided by herself. When her younger sister, Prime, was chosen a tribute to the hunger game, she stepped forward to become a volunteer instead of her sister. Katniss has a strong sense of responsibility because she supports her mother and sister instead of her father. She has a decency, so sometimes her temper tends to higher. However, that action was accepted to the Gamemakers and got a higher score. She also has a good hunt skill. On the other hand, her body type was smaller than others. When she and other tributes were assembled at the first time, she was restless: “My heart sinks. Almost all of the boys and at least half of the girls are bigger than I am, even though many of the tributes have never been fed properly. You can see it in their bones, their skin, the hollow look in their eyes. I may smaller naturally, but overall my family’s resourcefulness has given me an edge in that area.” (Collins 94) Even if she had a handicap, she didn’t escape and give up from its fate because she knew her strength. When I was a high school student, I belonged to Kendo club. Like Katniss, I was also inferior to others, especially the…

    Another big similarity is the word “tribute”. It comes from the Latin word “tributa” and it means a tax paid to the government. This means that Katniss pretty much sells herself to be spent by her rulers. She can be represented by the idea that the game makers can control what goes on in the capitol and the lives of the victims. Katniss volunteers as tribute to save her little sister Primrose, who has little to no survival skills to be put in the Hunger Games.…
