The
book goes into much greater details when President Snow came to visit Katniss
at her new victor’s house. The book just did a much better job with explaining
the sense of shock that President Snow made an unexpected visit to her home.
Also, it showed how much Katniss’s mother was worried about the visit. Then
throughout the whole meeting with President Snow one on one with Katniss the
reader was able to get an inside look at Katniss’s thoughts during the
interview.
I do have to compliment the producers
of the movie on the way that they portrayed the arena. I was able to notice
that the arena was suppose to be a clock a lot sooner in the movie than what I
did in the book. Also, I felt they did a much better job showing the challenges
Katniss and Peeta had to over come in this arena than what they did in the
first movie. The producers did a better job at fallowing along with the book.
The book and movie explained the 75th
Quarter Quell in different ways. What I mean by that is the book described that
the third Quarter Quell was planned when they first came up with the idea of
the hunger games. However, as the text continued the reader was able to inquire
that was not the case at all. In the movie it was more straight forward in the
fact that the new head game maker and President Snow purposely made this
Quarter Quell to get back at Katniss. They did this in hope that Katniss would
die in the games and to extinguish the rebellion.
One aspect in both the movie and book
that I did not completely agree with was the fact that the rebellion group kept
their two biggest aspects to their plan out of the plan. As a reader I think
that it would have been much smarter to at least let Peeta know about the plan
to escape from the games. I feel this way because Peeta is so good with his
words and his actions to help persuade others. However, I do agree with them
not telling Katniss because she is having a hard enough time to be “in love”
with Peeta. Telling her about the plan would have changed the way she acted in
the games and would have sparked curiosity to President Snow that something
might be up.
The last paragraph had a very good point but I disagree with letting Peeta know because I think he would have told Katniss if there was something up. I think she would have seem something different in him and would have gotten the truth out of it sooner or later.
