The Giver

In the book "The Giver" is about a utopian society that turns out to be a creepy dystopian society full of secrets. Jonas turns out to be the Receiver of Memory. So the Giver shows him what the world actually is. Jonas tries to show it to his friends but that just makes things a little chaotic. The society tries to hunt him down but he makes it to the barrier to restore the memory.

In the book there are a lot of connections to the real world. One of them are that some places are dystopian of utopian society. Another is that that the rules can be very strict and the consequences can be deadly.

Mockingjay the Movie

In the movie, Mockingjay in from the trilogy The Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen is the Mockingjay, the symbol of the rebellion against the Capitol. But the Capitol has kidnapped Peeta Mellark, the Capitol's weapon. Their home, District 12, was bombed by the Capitol to warn Katniss that war was upon them. There are somethings that annoyed me that the directors did or didn't do.

In the first movie, Peeta's leg was supposed to be chopped off, but with both legs in the movie, people thought that Peeta was whiny, weak and useless. Peeta is supposed to be strong and brave. Another thing is that Finnick was way too serious. He was suppose to say in his hospital clothing, "Do you find this distracting?" He also wished everyone was dead. Finally, for a views they should've just left it at Peeta choking Katniss. TEAM PEETA!
