In the book and in the movie, parts are taken place in District 12 and then the Capitol, which is where the arena is located. District 12, is where Katniss is from and is one of the poorest districts out of all. It is one of the smallest districts in Panem and is known for coal mining. District 12 is very grimy and secluded, and getting food is hard. This is where Katniss got her skill of hunting from. The Capitol is then considered to be a rich area. Everyone in the Capitol is dressed well and has food that they do not need to hunt for. Everything is also very retro and futuristic. When Katniss and Peeta, the male victor from district 12, arrive in the Capitol, they are not used to any of it. They have more food than they know what to do with, they also have nice beds, showers, and clothes. When they start in the games, they are in a forest area. There are lots of trees and few places to get water. This environment is very good for Katniss because she is able to hunt. In the arena, the game makers can change anything to their preference. This can involve climate, food, or …show more content…

As I mentioned above, the major differences were appearance and point of view. The other information that was mentioned is very similar to each other, just with less detail. In my opinion, you have to read the books to get a better understanding what is occurring in the movie. This happens in a lot of book series that turn into movies. Overall, the book was better by far. The movie left out significant parts, this is because they wanted to make it more suitable for a younger audience. In my opinion, they should have aimed this series at a particular age group. For example, older teens. If they aimed it at that particular age group, they could have allowed more scenes to be shown. The film is rated PG-13. This is still very young for some children, considering there is a lot of violence that happens. There is killing, fighting, and there are some scenes that could have escalated into something

The Hunger Games trilogy revolves around universal dystopian themes such as :oppression, rebellion, class tension as well as appearance vs. reality ," Collins creates the world that on one hand seems quite improbable and extreme, but on the other, vividly reflects some specific issues in a real world, like social inequalities, ignorance and passivity of the people" (Macanić 7). Oppression is perhaps the most common and prevalent dystopian theme as it serves as a warning against a highly probable dark future through shedding light on the dark side of contemporary trends such as advanced technology and reality TV-shows .The Capitol 's oppression operates on two levels; districts and individuals. The districts in general and districts 11 and 12 in particular have suffered great injustices at the ruthless hands of the Capitol ; however, there is no greater injustice than The Hunger Games themselves not only are the people of Panem forced to surrender their children as tributes for the Capitol 's citizens viewing pleasure for a crime they had no hand in committing ,but they are also forced to watch helplessly as their children are killed in the most brutal of manners .In Catching Fire (2009) , President Snow decrees that " the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors" in order to get rid of Katniss once and for all ,and to further assert the Capitol 's dominance and quell any thoughts of rebellion(172).
