I was bothered after I was done with the last page of the last book of the The Hunger Games Trilogy, Mockingjay. Gale just disappears in the last pages narrating that he has gone to somewhere helping people while Katniss who said has gone psychologically challenged after the death of her sister Primrose, left alone with her doctor who seems has cared a little less about her. Well, I just cannot contemplate how the novel ends. Unconvincing, frustrating and absurd - I apologize to say but yes, it is.
So Katniss has no choice but to choose Peeta over Gale because Gale just vanishes. Perhaps, he has gotten discouraged by what Katniss turned into after the war - crazy and poorly hygienic girl. Peeta surprisingly has gone better, I mean he looks perfectly well which is absurd because the book says that Peeta cannot be healed utterly. So Peeta has gotten completely recovered from his incurable ailment and married Katniss who has given birth to their children. That ends the novel.
But Mockingjay deserves a better ending. Primrose shouldn't have died. Katniss shouldn't have gone insane considering that she has hated her mother's social withdrawal due to depression after the death of Katniss' father which she, Katniss also has done in the latter part. The fearless and fierce Katniss has suffered from social withdrawal, separated herself from people and even neglected herself. That is acceptable when you think about every miserable things she has gone through but that is frustrating however. I couldn't see a modern heroine gone mentally ill.
Anyways, here is what I like in the novel. The Hanging Tree.
Anyways, here is what I like in the novel. The Hanging Tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run so we’d both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
I sometimes found myself humming the song. Crazy as Katniss.
Suzanne Collins' Catching Fire is the second book of The Hunger Games Trilogy. If I would describe the novel in one word it would be intense. Thinking that it will be made into film on November 22, 2013 thrills me. The Games would be more exciting. There are a lot of awesome characters to look forward to. Finnick Odair, for example, is one of my favorite who will be played by Sam Chaflin. I can say that Catching Fire is the best book among the rest, The Hunger Games and Mockingjay.
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the star-crossed lovers of District 12 win the seventy fourth Hunger Games but President Snow isn't convinced that Katniss' attempt at committing suicide with Peeta by ingesting poisonous berries known as "nightlock" is motivated by her love for Peeta but otherwise defying the Capitol which causes uprisings throughout the disrticts. Katniss and Peeta are forced to returned to arena for the special edition of the Hunger Games, Quarter Quell which the former victors will be tributes again. The former victors such as Finnick Odair, Johanna Mason, Beetee, Wiress and Mags join them up during the games. Who will be their allies and how will they survive the brutal bloodthirsty game? May the odds be in their favor?
I've done some research on where they'll shoot the film and found this.
Impeccable.

Tick, tock, this is a clock. The arena is a clock. What are their keys for survival knowing that the Hunger Games arena is a clock?
