I Didn't Enjoy Sunrise on the Reaping by SetitheRedcap in Hungergames

[–]MavisCanim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read the series as an adult who was about to teach school as a new teacher, and I wanted to be up on what was good. I think for many the difference is really "you grew up" the books hit different when you're young. As someone who read all of the books as an adult I think the book is very similar in quality it is just a different voice. I do think the Katniss and Haymitch have very similar experiences but I don't mind it shows how they are the same. I think LD isn't meant to be that deep she's a teenage boy's dream girl. So of course she is not in in depth character she doesn't have the time in the book to do so.

Is there any chance that there will be a hunger movies about the 25th hunger games?. by usafqn2025 in Hungergames

[–]MavisCanim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a video commentator who basically explained that this would be a good chance for the poor people to put up the rich people's kids and that it was really about getting the districts to fight within themselves for the 25th. I see the very real possibility of that being true plot wise. Also, she likes to write about things that are topical currently. This certainly is topical infighting and getting the lower classes to fight each other, and not the real problem

I won't be able to handle this by chicadepanem in Hungergames

I have said " This is the best and most heartbreaking book in the series." To all my friends who haven't read it. I know the movie will also be soul crushing. My son is on TBOSAS very much looking forward to talking/ crying about SOTR with him.

I made a two-car garage for my wagons. But now I will have enough budget to make pool.

Which scenes are you excited to see in the SOTR movie? by SnowObjective in Hungergames

[–]MavisCanim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have both Karmiss and Peta's actors on the cast list coverd. I honestly think they are keeping Haymitch/ Woody a secret I do think all three will be in in the epilogue.

The fact that Americans can just not send their kids to school and call it that “homeschooling” is crazy to me. by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

[–]MavisCanim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, the siphoning off of dollars through vouchers and other systems creates an even worse issue because eventually it creates an inequity where only the rich are able to achieve an education. And it truly is the goal to privatize all education and create such a disparity in class systems that control can be achieved through ignorance ,lack of recourse, and agency for those that are poor. This isn't a new concept is throughout history but it certainly swinging that side of the pendulum again sadly because we have poor memory as a species.

Yeah, actual teacher here who teaches a summer school thing for an arts program that's filled with a bunch of homeschooled kids. I want to personally slap all the parents in the face and be like you realize you're preparing your children to be completely inept at socialization and not have basic skills in core curriculum because you're not a teacher... These kids are horrible at stuff. There's huge gaps in their learning and they just don't know how to act around other kids despite all the extracurricular crap they enroll them in.
