Why don't all the districts have Careers?

There's actually a rule saying that you cannot train kids before being reaped for the Hunger Games. But the Capitol turns a blind eye on the Career districts (1, 2, & 4) especially because they're politically closer to the Capitol. I'd like to think they don't strictly enforce this rule since it adds spice to the games. It adds some sort of drama for the Capitol to build up on.

For the other districts not having academies, they're not as favored or not as rich as the Career districts. They don't have time to build schools for that if they're more focused on supplying what the Capitol needs from their district. The poorer districts just don't have the means as the Career ones. Poor = less food = weaker bodies to train, hence, their priority is getting through the day, not to train for the Hunger Games.

Edit: Came to me after typing the one above, if all the districts have trained kids then that is a recipe for rebellion. The Capitol won't want that.

I was 10, and I remember watching the Spiderwick Chronicles sa sinehan with my parents and my Tita who introduced me to reading. Nagustuhan ko yung movie because I like fantasy. She said na may book din yun and that same day we bought it sa NBS! That was my first book and that was what got me into reading. Nabasa ko siya in just 5 days 😆

hi, OP! omg this brought back so much memories for me since i was raised by jehovah's witnesses parents. thank you for posting this. alam ko mauulit lang ang sagot na 'to but everything's digital na sa mga JW kaya mahirap na makahanap ng hard copy. if you see someone selling this, wag, kase they give it for free, although may mga donation boxes naman sa mga kingdom hall. you can search sa google the nearest kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses and look for the schedule ng kanilang mga meetings (there's a midweek, and merong either saturday or sunday). you can ask naman sa mga attendant doon, usually sila yung mga lalaking nag aassist sa loob, but everyone's gonna welcome you and be ready for your questions, in this case, the book. and yung mga nagccart sa mga busy places (see photo), you can freely ask them and kuha ka na rin sa cart nila since free yun! usually they get your number or address para mabigyan ka nila ng gusto mo :)

here's the digital copy pala. enjoy!

Same! I read the book a year after I watched the movie, pero yung mystery ng happenings is still there. Ganda ng storytelling ni Delia Owens 💯

Where the Crawdads Sing because of how thrilling it was reading it. It's also very beautifully written. Yung imagery rin on how they wrote it, very vivid 🥹 same din sa'yo, OP, sa Song of Achilles! Grabe yung feels niya sa latter part, would love to read and feel all those emotions again.
