    - Cato's death, which lasted the whole night
    - Haymitch seriously worse alcoholism
    - Thr fact that Glimmer'd dress was transparent. Actually, this is worse after reading what finnnick says about snow prostituting victors.
    -Katnnis hearing damage after the bomb in the first games
    - Katniss freaking burns after the bomb in the third book
    - How is describe what happens to the avocs that katniss new from district 12

      The funniest thing is, they tamed probably the tamest thing in the entire series. Peta's amputated leg wasn't even that bad, and Katniss never even found out until the interview after the games when Caesar brought it up. That entire scene truly showed just how much Katniss cared about Peta as she really freaked out about it. It would have been great if they added it in, but apparently that threatens a PG13 rating?
      Though I am glad they didn't touch on the Mutts at the end in the movie. That disturbed me when I first read it, and very few things do - especially with Rue's Mutt

    The Hunger Games one is annoying. I think the fact that Peter was close to death in the books, with his injury, made Katness' sacrifice to say she would die too, even bigger. She risked her own life, for someone who she didn't know would make it. I think the movie version doesn't really show that she did make a huge sacrifice for him. I do love both books and movies, but that is one of the things that I thought was weak in the movies.

      In the book, Scarlett is against the KKK and tells Frank she doesn't want him having anything to do with it. It's the other characters (including Ashley) who say it's a necessity. Scarlett blames the KKK just as much as she blames herself for Frank's death and her daughter Ella becoming fatherless. And Mammy is one of the only characters who uses the racial slang. Scarlett was punished by her mother for using it as a child. The problem is that people don't actually read the book and assume the worst. The movie also took out Scarlett's other kids, Wade Hamilton and Ella Kennedy, even though Wade's character is the reason Melanie is so close to Scarlett and part of the reason she trusts Rhett. They also removed how Scarlett was a mathematical genius. The book is from the viewpoint of a woman who was told that many of these ideals are right and she doesn't really have a say in how things are. You're right though. We can't destroy history because it was wrong. The book shows the darker side of American history through a woman who grows up during a war she doesn't even believe in. I'm sure many people weren't pleased that the book showed the Northerners were evil in their own way as well.

    Even though a lot of racism was left out in the "Gone with the Wind" movie, there is one thing in the book that was changed in the movie, that made one character look really bad. In the book, Prissy is a very young girl (I think she is only 11 or 12 years old in the beginning). There is this one scene in which Melly gives birth to her son (she nearly dies) and Prissy gets slapped by Scarlett for not taking the situation seriously enough and lying about being experienced in that field. The problem is that Prissy looks nothing like 12 in the movie. She is obviously at least 16, if not older, and this makes her look dumb instead of childish. This is problematic because Prissy's behavior in the books is pretty normal for a lot of children.

    The Hunger Games books are way more violent than the movies and many of the deaths are longer and more brutal (Cato's in particular is horrific). I also noticed that they don't show the physical toll the Games took on the tributes. Katniss says she barely looked human afterwards and it took weeks for the Capitol to make her and Peeta look presentable. I know you don't want to risk the health of the actors, but they could have used make up or CGI to make them look more gaunt and sickly after the HUNGER Games. I still love the movies though.
