Plot; Reflection

               Personally, I believe the plot for The Hunger Games is dynamic. The novels were definitely the best I’ve ever read. Being a huge fan of the books, I was tremendously excited for the film- I even went to the midnight premiere. It was so awe-inspiring that I could barely grasp what was going on, so I went to see it a second time. I took note of everything that happened and followed the plot with precision. Afterwards, I sat and pondered different aspects of the plot for hours- such as how it compares to the book and possible themes in the movie and novel alike.
  The producers did change some things from the plot of the book and even left some things out, but it was all to make the flow of the movie smooth. For instance, though I was a little disappointed that they changed the source of the Mockingjay pin, I acknowledge the fact that it adds to the power of the film’s plot by making Katniss the motivating force for the symbol’s meaning in the sequels, rather than just the girl wearing a pin she thought was “neat,” thus contributing to the feminist theme in the storyline. In my opinion, I do believe that the storyline has aspects contributing to all four themes of feminism, religion/spirituality, politics, and hope.
