One Of My Favourite Scenes In The Hunger Games Series Is When Katniss And Peeta Are Visiting District

one of my favourite scenes in the hunger games series is when katniss and peeta are visiting district 11. because it's the first time we really see rebellion, and unity between the districts on a larger scale. katniss sang to rue, tresh spared her life, and their district sent katniss bread. but here, it's months after the games, and a whole crowd is doing a salute from another district. and they are saluting the girl who lived because their own died. and when they kill the man who started it, it really sinks in the realization how important unity and alliance is. the people of panem are separated into districts and pitted against each other every year, to make it easier to control people. to take away their power. this is one of the first steps in panem regaining that power; realizing the other districts aren't the enemy, but their allies. and the capitol hates that, they know that a simple melody and salute is so much more than that, it's a warning and a threat.

This Tumblr page will expose the Hunger Games fans on Twitter who dare to call themselves fans yet don’t know a damn thing about the books.

i would write essays and shit about how arguably the second most important theme in the hunger games after our society’s treatment of war was its indictment of pedophilia apologism in our culture at large but especially in our media. if any of you even cared enough to listen which is kind of the point.

The Hunger Games fandom(myself included) often sees Finnick Odair as someone who has a good heart,even with all he suffered,aside from PTSD and stuff. However,he obviously has a dark,ruthless side. Finnick was the guy who won his Hunger Games when he was fourteen,before being forced into prostitution. His demand for secrets from his “clients” was a good example. I always had this headcanon that Finnick used the secrets as a revenge and leverage,much before “The Mockingjay”. For me,this makes Finnick a really well-round character,and another thing that makes him a survivor.

i don’t really have any issues with thg casting choices except when i was reading the books leslie jordan was cinna

Thoughts:

First of all, I have to say the first chapter decidedly is not an inducement to keep reading the novel. It seemed like a first draft that the author or the editor forgot to come back to and fix. It feel different than the subsequent chapters. Why the editor didn’t correct it or ask the author to rewrite it? I think that does a disservice to Suzanne Collins since I liked her novel, however because of this I didn’t continue with the book when I first tried it years ago.

I liked very much the reflection of how much planning, effort, work and time goes into obtain food and the mention of how much free time one has to do other things when one has the privilege no to worry about hunting, harvest, gather, clean, etc.

Another aspect that I appreciated was that it was pointed out that people don’t have much time to consider about how a despot government manipulates history because the primordial concern is to get water, food, medicaments and protection from the cold. Nevertheless, it didn’t passed unnoticed that in the school the children were only taught political propaganda.

It was great of the author to highlight that the districts didn’t have communication between them and that was a way to prevent the people from unite and remove the regime.

Katniss is an inspiring protagonist. It was fascinating watching her being the caretaker of her family, then Rue and then Peeta. I like the way she thinks and solves her problems; I admire her compassion and I felt moved by her grieves, like the lost of her parents.

I’m intrigued by Haymitch and I expect to learn more about him in the next couple of novels.

My only other complain is the insistence of Katniss of being oblivious to Peeta’s feelings for her. That’s way too cliché in young adult fiction, as well as the love triangle for wich I never care for.
