Book 2


“Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!”– Effie.

            The odds of the hunger games are 1 to 24. This Katniss and the fans of the book know all too well. When the Movie finally came out every Hunger Game fan couldn’t wait to see the story come alive. How do you make it come alive?

First you would have to find a way to make each character real. This means a long search for the right actors and actresses. Then you would have to recreate each district especially the capital. It is the main scene except for the games themselves. Within the capital you would have to show how well they all live; making their wardrobes a big deal. The next task would be making the stage for the Hunger Games.  

The first scene that MUST stay is when Katniss volunteers as tribute in order to save her 12 year old sister. Second would be when Katniss threatens/shows-off to the Gamemakers; getting her a score of 11. Thirdly, when the games really beginning; Standing on the platforms, getting ready to run, and avoiding the blood bath. And lastly I think another needed scene is when Katniss get attacked by the Gamemaker’s flames.

One scene that doesn’t need to be in the movie would be the scene when Katniss and Gale are in the woods. Another would be to cut when Peeta and Katniss are on the train you can show them on it, to show they moved to the capital but what happens on the train isn’t that important. Also Gale doesn’t pop up much in this book so it wouldn’t really be necessary to introduce him yet.

“Happy Hunger Games…”
