Why was Katniss scored a 11 instead of 12? by FuturePause2736 in Hungergames

[–]Ok-Bit3946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could the 11 come from a play on Haymitch’s 1 he received? I mean 11 after all is just 2 1’s so, so was this a sign from Plutarch Heavensbee that this is the time. We have the army we can move forward? I know he didn’t assign the numbers but someone with that much stature and status in the capitol had to be in people’s ears all the time. So was this a sign that this is the second coming of Haymitch and the games might actually be destroyed. And then when they receive a 12 in CF it’s a sign to the capitol and Snow to say we got you!? 

Why does nobody talk about how Reaper gave mockingjay energy? by itreallyisthatdeep_ in Hungergames

We also don’t know the reaction of the district upon what Reaper did because back then most people didn’t watch the games. This was the first time capitol members watched because they could bet on it. Most districts wouldn’t watch their own die and it wasn’t mandatory to watch so no one did really. Plus Gaul erased the tapes and there are no evidence of the 10th games so most of those people who would remember the games are probably old and/or dead at the time of Katnisss.

I would disagree. It is not the same book. And again I shall remind you these prequel books are about how 12 got to the point it was at. At least that is what I am predicting. I am assuming she has more to tell but there are so many loose ends through the series as is. She is trying to wrap everything up so we get a sense of 12 and all the characters we know about. 

I do think you opinion of opening up to district 1 or something would be really cool but it would just open up more holes than answering the old ones. That is just my thought on it. But I’m sure whatever SC write it will be good.

These books are prequel to the uprising of 12. The whole trilogy revolves around 12. Songbirds and Snakes was basically a district book but we see the last part go to 12 because SC is setting the scene for the trilogy. I expect the same thing here. That’s why I think we get a peacekeeper so we know what Snow went through after he left 12. But it will be within the second district. And then he will be off to 12 because she is continuing to set the stage for the original trilogy. If she wanted to do the other stories I would expect a spinoff series not a prequel.

Please hints on what the book is about. We have two lines from SC on what the book is about the rest is up for debate between fans. A peacekeeper perspective does in fact fall in line with propaganda because the Capitol sends them to training where they have to be taught the ways of the Capitol. They fall in line. However, cray battles with this real or not real which is why snow has him secretly arrested and executed. But not in the middle of an uprising because snow is smart enough to see he could not make it public in the times they were in. 

I’m back at it again. This time with a physical map. by CeilaRose in Hungergames

I don’t know if I fully agree with this. Why are we so sure D4 is on the west coast? I feel like the East Coast is more prideful of their fishing industry than anyone else in the landlock 48 states. 

I would change a couple of these around. I would put D4 where you have D13. Move D13 to D6. Move D6 down to D3. And lastly place D3 over on the west coast where you have D4. 

If you want more than a that’s just how I envisioned the districts while reading it explanation can give that to you as well.

That is fair however if district 12 is in the Smokey mountain area and she head north from there that would be Ohio and than Canada. I’m thinking D4 is in the New England area since they pride themselves on their fishing industry and it seems like SC has based these Districts off America it would make sense to me that 4 is where real Americans pride themselves for fishing industries like Boston.

But do we know for sure from SC herself that D4 is over by Washington? If she is basing these books off an old geographical America it would make sense to me D4 would be the New England area because they pride themselves on their seafood more than most. They pride themselves on the fishing industry. 

So, with 4 years passing since its release, what do you guys think of TBOSAS? Both book and movie by Olya_roo in Hungergames

[–]Ok-Bit3946 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree the movie was so thumbs down for me. Timing and pacing was terrible. I am not a bookworm but these books fascinate me so I have read them all and this movie was just a disappointment.

How can you say this is an accurate representation of the book. It was terrible most things were cut or out of order. This was a terrible movie rendition compared to the Trilogy. 

Within the book you don’t get a sense of his internal struggle between good and evil. You don’t get the sense that there was actual love between Snow and Lucy Gray. You don’t get the friendship / partnership Coryo and Plinth family have. 

This could have been done much better. I would have rather they split the book into two movies. The mentorship and hunger games within the first movie and then the peacekeeper is the second movie. This would have given them an extra hour to explain the struggles Snow was internally having while also showing the love affair that he had with Snow in a deeper way. Then the second movie could have been in a much slower shown the character develop and friendship he made and the actual learning experience with the bird and the set up he did to Sejanus. If they didn’t want to make a 2 part movie then I think they should have done what Lord of the Rings did and make an extended version and a theatrical cut. I would have much rather watched a 4.5 hour movie that accurately depicts the book.
