The Hunger Games internal and character development and connections to other books

Throughout The Hunger Games, Katniss was always very stubborn. Then, once The Hunger Games began, she was less stubborn about opening up to people. She opened herself up to Peeta and knew it was being broadcatsed to all of Panem. She trusted certain people more and others even less. She became more sensitive and changed throughout her entire experience in that arena. She also became more aware of what was going on in different districts, which made her more grateful for her district, which she so often complained about. Peeta realized his true love in that arena and he will never let it go. He became stronger, but still the same sweet and sensitive person he was. He knew he would always care about Katniss, but in the arena and on tour, he fell in love with her even more.
The Hunger Games is such a unique book. The plot is different from a lot of other books. The only similarities i can think of is 1984 by George Orwell. Both books were set in the future (from the time they were written) and predicted what the government would be like. In both of these books the world is very segregated. In The Hunger Games, each distric is in some level of poverty except for district 1, where the government lives and the they were cruel to the other districts and made them work extra hard to produce products for them. In 1984, the government is very controlling and wealthier as well. While the people who work to supply for them go without, the people of the government have more than enough.
