The Hunger Games Ch. 1-7

Is there something that has happened so far that reminds you of another character, book, or movie? Why?

There was a a few sections of the book that really reminded me of the movie "The City of Ember". One section was when they mentioned that Katniss' Father had died in a mining explosion, that reminds me of "The City of Ember" because in the movie one of the main characters (Doon) works down in the mines. Also, the whole book and movie has a gloomy and melancholy tone and feel to it. They also both have times where there is no power or electricity to support them, leaving them with their sedentary mother and grandmother. They each have a young girl who is left to support their family (Katniss and Lina), a boy who is close friends with the girl (Gale and Doon) and a younger sister (Prim and Poppy, who each of the girls love and care for).

Another book that is similar to "The Hunger Games" is "The Giver". For example,they both (also alike "The City of Ember") have dull and desperate lives filled with no true happiness. Also, the main characters are each chosen to go out and face many trials and impasses, Katniss has to attend in the Hunger Games, and Jonas has to become the Giver (someone who takes in all the feelings of pain and happiness from the people of the city). One other thing is that in "The Giver", the main Character (Jonas) also has a little sister (Lily) who he loves and would die for.Both of the main characters of each story have more if a mature sense of mind and they each know that there is no escape from where they live in less they want to put their family's life on the line.

Overall, the movie, "The City of Ember", and the book , "The Giver" both relate to the book "The Hunger Games". They all three seem to connect in different ways and they all give off the same feel for the characters.
