and Katniss mentions about school and lunches. What I’m struggling to understand is that in book one she said that her and prom hadn’t eaten in weeks but they were both at an age where they were in school, so wouldn’t they have both been provided with lunch? Help me please!

I know their love story was short and to the point when it came to the writing. I know the books were centered around the rebellion and politics. But I wish they could’ve shown just a little more of them at the end. My nephew has never seen the movies so we watched them this week. After watching the very end when Peeta says “you love me. Real or not real?” And then it shows them in the meadow with children.. it just seems like not enough. (I’m only halfway through Mockingjay. So I don’t know how the book ends yet.) to have gotten just a little more of a glimpse to how their life was in between the bed scene to the meadow would’ve been so much better.

Is there any fan fiction that someone has written for this?

I tried my best to come up with a title but I'm not sure if it makes sense lol. What I mean is that I don't like how liking Hunger Games merch, liking the press conference and interview stuff is "capital behavior". Every time I see a video of the actors for SOTR promoting the movie, the comments are always talking about how the promotions give off capital vibes. I love THG and understand the storynand its message 100%, but every franchise advertises their content the same way, but when THG does it, it comes off as capital behavior. Again, I'm not hating on the actors, the movies, the books, or the fan base in any way, I just think it's frustrating for THG advertisements to get hated on for doing what it needs to.

Also this is my first time posting in this community so I didn't quite know which flair to label it as😅

Talking about the movies but still how does she know what it is when they live in an authoritarian state?

Maybe I’m overthinking it.

its weird how in a book series about overthrowing oppression and a revolution this fandom hates the most realistic one Hunger games fans who hate Gale Hawthorne for his black and white view, ruthless tactics, his utilitarianism mindset would fundamentally hate real-life revolutionaries.

Historical revolutionaries used fundamentally morally gray tactics to overthrow oppressive regimes, suspended morals and ethics to win. If Hunger games fans hate Gale for his actions they would fundamentally dislike real life revolutionaries.

Che Guevara, Jean Jacques Dessalines, Maximilien Robespierre and Leon Trotsky all real examples of revolutionaries all had the same mindset as Gale Hawthorne and they succeed because of it.

...When we know he'd never actually do it because of LouLou 😭😭 This reread is destroying me with all the connections.

Personally I wish we knew more canon arenas, I liked that we got to learn about Wiress’s arena and how they aren’t always pieces of wilderness.

Mine would be a steep canyon full of ledges and ravines where tributes could fall to their death, adding another fighting component since they could push each other over ledges and would have to watch their footing all the time. There would also be lots of boulders which can be dislodged and sent down the slope. The arena would be shaped like a bowl with the cornucopia at the bottom. The only even ground is around the cornucopia.

The mutts would be mountain goats the size of bison. They can travel along steep cliffs very quickly and will buck tributes down the canyon, but they only attack if you run away.

I feel like they don’t talk about the concept of a sling enough. Not a slingshot, a sling. David and Goliath style. You can DIY one from your own clothes. You can make it from virtually anything. You can take down someone MUCH bigger and at a distance. A lot of kids I knew growing up had them along with sling shots just for fun.

Yes, they take time to learn to aim, but if my kid had the chance of going in the Games, I’d want them to at least know how to use that. Anyone asks, it’s a kids game. Just like shooting marbles. You hit targets like bottles and whoever hits the most wins. Harmless fun. But really you’re learning how to aim should you ever need it.

It would be an Career Academy skill for the districts that don’t have them disguised as a kid’s game.

In the games, you can use ANYTHING in there. A rock, a piece of metal, anything and get someone.

It might only work for one or two kid’s who successfully use it in the games before they ban it, but still it’s something.

These posters are genuinely beautiful

I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS OMG

Tried to keep this as true to the book description as possible. The demensions are definitely WAY off but I’m still really proud of myself! (explanation of everything on the forest side on the last slide)
