Today I am going to show the similarities and differences of the Hunger Games book and the Hunger Games movie.
The book is set in Panem where Katniss volunteers for Prim at the Reaping. The book gives a lot of background so you can understand what's going on better. Also, Madge gives Katniss the MockingJay pin. The book has the Games last over a week, and the cornucopia is golden. Also, she shoots Marvel (District 1) in the throat and stays with Rue for about 3 days. In the end, Katniss and Peeta both live.
Like the book, the movie is set in Panem where Katniss volunteers for Prim. Unlike the book, the movie doesn't give much background, so it isn't that easy to understand what's going on if you haven't read the book. Katniss got the MockingJay pin from Madge in the book, but she bought it in the movie. In contrast from the book, the Games last 5-6 days and the cornucopia is silver. Also unlike the book, Katniss shoots Marvel in the chest and stays with Rue for less than a day. Similar to the book, in the end Katniss and Peeta both live.
Even with their differences, both the movie and the book are very good pieces of entertainment.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
