Hunger Games

I thought that the novel was really good. I like the way Suzanne Collins writes, I think she has great word choice and imagery. In times I felt like there was a vivid movie playing in my head. It really does parallel reality television  except in a more violent fashion. It exploits the people involved in the "Games" so that the viewer can get some entertainment. The whole love triangle with Katniss, Peeta, and Gale, added an interesting plot point. I feel like reality television today also uses the love triangle aspect to create drama for the viewers enjoyment.

    I liked your songs that you related to each character. I also aggree with what you said about television using a "love triangle" to create extra drama.

    Who doesn't love a dramatic love triangle. Everyone picks who their favorite is, roots for that person, and hates the other. If you think about it it's genius on the producers part for pulling in viewers.
