This year, unfortunately, Katniss's little sister is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss volunteers to take her place. While the Hunger Games movie broke records at the box office, but saying that the movie is better than the book is very wrong because the book describes more content that the movie did not include. While reading the book we inhabit Katniss’s mind, through first person narrative. While following her inner dialogue we know her fears, desires, and needs, in a much more intimate way then the film can deliver. However, on screen we are given some hints and clues into the complex feelings of Katniss given by the actor Jennifer Lawrence’s incredible acting and because the camera was allowed to linger long enough for her nonverbal expressions to come through.

At first her friends were quiet and didn’t want Timmy to play with them.
Three differences between The Hunger Games – book & film Even if there exist more than three differences between film and book, I want to point out the ones which seem to me most important. First of all, it was significant, that in the film the Avox Girl is not mentioned as in the book. In the book, the reader gets to know about the backstory between them. Katniss remembers the girl as someone who was trying to escape from the capitol, but then she was catched by the government. Because of that, her tongue was cut out so she can´t speak any more.
They all promise quick weight loss but what they do not promise is a healthy body. Fad diets are just a quick fix to a long term solution. Many people think that a fad diet is the way to go because a lot of people are lazy and want super quick results that they will not keep up with in the future. A quick weight loss is never good on your body. While people are overjoyed to be losing weight, the companies over this fad diet does not tell all the side effects.
This phenomenon has been the topic of discussions for years now, but nothing has been done about it. Either people do not understand the importance or the addressing of the topic doesn’t catch the audience’s attention. In Cinderella ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie Girl Culture, New York Times bestselling author, blogger, and expert on girls development, women, and parenting, Peggy Orenstein knowledgeably and humorously addresses America’s newest princess culture and what it is doing to America’s little angels. A book is easier to read if the reader feels a connection with a character or in some cases the author.

She believes those intertwined plots don’t just induce a person to watch more TV, they also slow the persons thinking process because shows like to overflow a person with quick-paced facts. With the amount of facts that one has to deal with it deters, and hinder a person from setting apart the integrities the show is endorsing because there is no time for the audience to think. Stevens he goes on to say “watching TV teaches you to watch more TV “(Stevens, 2005, p.2), which she backs up by using the show” 24”. Stevens (2005) explaining that, “24 is the perfect example of a TV show that challenges its audience's cognitive faculties with intricate
With the continued success of reality TV, more and more writers for scripted shows will lose their jobs and change professions. This could create job competition for people outside of the entertainment industry and could even affect the economy. This rift will not only happen in the television business, but will occur in the movie industry as well. More people susceptible to free entertainment will mean less moviegoers and profit for the movie industry. This will cause a deficit in unique shows and movies due to a low amount of competition as well as falling standards.
People today like movies and musicals that are “in touch with reality.” Another reason is because in Hollywood today the number of musical movies filmed compared to action or mystery films has dwindled. People are just no longer very interested in musical numbers and the people that do still enjoy that form of entertainment are very few. Going back to my first reason, what do I mean by “in touch with reality?” Well for starters audiences today tend to like to see the imperfections in situations just like how life is, imperfect. By creating newer movies that are becoming more and more like things that could happen to us on any given day or movies that involve thrill, action, and special effects because this is what attracts viewers. Movies such as the avengers, divergent, hunger games, etc.

The three older ladies gets mad, but not only do they manage to convince Sandra Lee to stay in the same school, they also make it feel like the question wasn’t ever asked. The short story is told through a third person narrator, who isn’t present in the text, but is still omniscient because he/she can see everything and feel the feelings of the people who actually appear in the story. It’s a common way of writing a fictional story, but it still always gives a mysterious feeling to the reader, especially at the points when Grau uses quick and short sentences. There is a lot of dialogue throughout the text, which makes the narrator more reliable.
For example although Kim repeatingly corrects them when they mention her audition as “your thing”, Andrea and Di are not affected by it. Kim is thin as a rake, and when she first arrives at Prospect House, she is also yellow from the Hep B she caught earlier.
