The Plan

Introduction –  introduce question and primary text. lay out your argument - things are changing and women now protagonists. old stereotypes no longer apply.

How are representations of women in Hollywood movies changing? With reference to The Hunger Games.


Women in Hollywood movies are changing through creating successful films and by directors challenging gender stereotype and swapping main dominant stereotypes on genders.


-          ‘The femme protagonist stats are up 4% from 2011’

Section 1:
- primary text - Hunger Games
- Textual analysis and research



Section 2
- Historical text - how have things changed over time ?

-‘The protagonists of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kill Bill brought welcome spin to their genre.’




Section 3

Section 4
