I've never thought that I would be doing a blog post about HUNGER GAMES. I’ve never thought that I would be this hooked to it. I’ve never thought that I’ll end up thinking about it all the time. I’ve never thought that I’ll be spending time with my friends and telling them how good this book is. I’ve never thought that I’ll end up recommending this book to other people. I’ve never thought that I’ll be reminiscing Katniss and Peeta moments in my head, all day long.
I just never thought that this could be possible because for the fact that at first I didn’t have the interest to read it, thinking that this is just SOME book. But I was totally and completely wrong about it.
Now, I’m just eating all the words that I’ve said about it. Now, I’m hungry for more. I’m hungry for anything and everything related to it. Uhmmm… It includes the trailer for the movie (which I’m really craving to get a glimpse of the actors portraying their respective roles), movie stills (Katniss and Peeta, please. I want to see how they are on-screen.), promotions and the movie itself.
So 2012, please come faster. Surely it will be another year of EPICNESS.
THE STORY
The story that Suzanne Collins is unlike any other, she fused elements from the real world to her own world. The very obvious thing is the fascination of people to reality TV shows. Every time we turn on our television sets at home, surely there will be channel in our cable that’s airing a reality show at the moment. People just love watching those shows, even though for some reason I think it’s just a stupid show. Scripted and all those kinds of stuffs. Not that I resent reality shows, but that’s just my opinion about it.
Anyways, in the book she used that concept; Hunger Games is somewhat a reality TV show, the “survival of the fittest”type. It is being aired in the whole area of Panem and everybody is encouraged to watch. Strategies, “how you want to present yourself to the public”, was also used in the book. It was obviously seen there when they were about to be interviewed and they were asked what type of person they want to be known and seen by the public. Suzanne Collins is very clever to incorporate this in her books.
THE CHARACTERS
New female book hero of this generation…the MOCKINGJAY, Katniss Everdeen. She was presented as a very loving (volunteering herself rather than seeing her sister in pain and in a difficult situation) and brave girl. She’ll do anything and everything in her power just to fulfill whatever she wants to attain. Everything about her just speaks about being a PERFECT HERO. A novel wouldn’t be complete without boys vying for the girl’s love. Peeta Mellark, the guy who have known and loved her for forever and Gale Hawthorne, her bestfriend, hunting partner and who is also in love with her. Katniss is a very lucky girl to have two gorgeous boys at her feet. Hmmm. Who will she choose? For those, who haven’t read it yet…then I’m not giving spoilers here. Read the books.
Katniss and Peeta Moments
The end of this trilogy is really lacking with this stuffs. I’m hungry for more Katniss and Peeta moments. Mockingjay was obviously centered on their revenge against the Capitol.
But shifting gears, Book 1 and 2 have epic moments of this two. Even though it’s just for a good PR, those scenes still make my heart melt. Oh Peeta…all the things that you say make me want to jump up and down.
Okay. This post is getting longer and I think I need to end this already.
So.
Yeah, I’m done.
HUNGER GAMES TRAILER, PLEASE COME FASTER.
Picssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss :)
