Rue's touching death scene.

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes,
And when you awake, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, here it's warm,
Here the daisies guard you from harm,
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true,
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away,
A cloak of leaves, A moonbeam ray, Forget your woes and let your troubles lay,
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.

Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true,
Here is the place where I love you.

'I remember when you sang in the music assembly and the teacher said, 'Who knows 'The Valley Song''? and you hand shot straight up!'

The 25th Hunger Games:Chapter 1

posted by psychmacgyver

I lean against the pine tree with my axe set beside me, and my pad and pencil in hand.
"Would you hurry up with that, Dev?" my father Aaron exclaims.
"Let me just finish this stanza, and then I'll get choppin'," I shoot right back.
"And be quick about it!", my father exclaims yet again, unloading all of his body strength into his axe, hammering away at the pine. I, Devin Qurstil, being a 15 year old, from District 7, write poetry as a hobby and a sport. I have made several pieces, about differating themes. I am now qualified to start out at being a lumberjack, as you start out after your fifteenth...

Catching Fire Song Parody: Mockingjay Style ( to the song: Acapella)

posted by asthesunsetss

Used to be your, tribute.
Used to live for you,
thought that I'd be safe forever.

Now the quarter quells here,
Districts gone to hell here,
And you bring me back for another?

Now you're talking crazy,
Saying the games made me,
Like I was your capital smile
Let's see how these games go
Right hand on my big bow,

Imma do it Mocking Jay Style(x2)

Back in district 12 , when it was reaping time. They called my sister prim, they pulled her out of line.

Momma always said she should never go away,
prim was way too young for these hunger games.

You bet that I believed her, every word she said. I volunteered for prim,...

Gender Roles in the Series

posted by Dragonclaws

One of the things I find of most note in the Hunger Games trilogy is how gender roles appear to have generally been flipped with regard to the characters Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick. It is not simply that the rules have been flipped, as characters such as Haymitch and Primrose are more traditional while still regarded as acceptable. The individual characters are strong enough that the gender role difference is acceptable. Additionally, the foreign country of Panem can be considered a place where things are done differently, and its citizens are not judged the same way as modern Americans.

Peeta vs. Gale (fan opinions for each )

posted by kornikopia

There are many polls and discussions on whether Peeta or Gale is better for Katniss . Whose team are you on? Some Hunger Games fans prefer to be neutral and don't believe in "teams" but in terms of being the better man in general and for Katniss , this includes facts and opinions for both Peeta and Gale.
***** IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN "TEAMS" than please dont post hateful comments, I understand that some people get annoyed with these types ot things but for the people who do prefer one guy over the other , i hope you enjoy my article :) ***

There are many reasons and good qualities for both of...

Mockingjay Song-fic: "Lying from You" by Linkin Park

posted by AislingYJ

This is a song fic I decided to do, based on the song “Lying from You”, by Linkin Park. I just thought it would describe perfectly Katniss’s feelings during Mockingjay. So yeah. Here it is.
This isn’t what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this...
“I love you.”
“I know.”
What have I said? What have I done? I didn’t mean for it to go down like this. Who am I? Why do you love me? I don’t deserve you. I don’t deserve either of you. And now it’s too late.
I lower my eyes, not looking as you walk away.
No turning back now,

"Ocean's Song", Chapter 5 (47th Hunger Games)

posted by rw499

My Prep team is late. I sit on the tiled white floor of the makeover bathroom and wait. There's some kind of easy-listening music playing softly through the speakers, although I can't seem to locate where exactly the speakers are. Probably nanotechnology. I learned about that in school.

I hear giggles down the hall. My prep team must be here. Two silly-looking women come in. They're the weirdest looking people I have ever seen.

Both of them have neon pink skin and silver tattoos around their eyes. One of them has yellow hair. It's not blonde- it's too bright to be blonde. She looks like several...

The 66th Hunger Games:Chapter 2

Helena

I looked to my right and to my left. The Cornucopia was in the center of the beach we were on. In front of us was a vast, beautiful, ocean. To my left was a giant crater, and to my right a tropical jungle. You could almost hear the cries of the tributes erupting from there. The thought satisfied me. I looked towards the crater again... there was something there. There were multiple somethings's there.

A very loud noise suddenly attacked my ears, and then I heard the cannon. BOOM! But it hadn't been 60 seconds yet. I whipped my head around to the other tributes. I saw one of the platforms,...

The 66th Hunger Games:Chapter 1

posted by Glimmer101

I never in a million years wanted my name to be drawn. When it was, reality hit me... with a train.
"Stephen Leigh!" The booming voice over the microphone exclaimed.
That was my name, but why was I being called during the Reaping? I walked towards the stage slowly trying to figure out what I had done wrong. I was 17 years old but I had only signed up for 2 tesserae. My brother who would be 19 now, always signed up for the tesserae for our family. He had signed up for 10-15 before his name was drawn 7 years ago to go into the Hunger Games. He died near the end against the remaining pack of career's....

ALEXANDRIA SYMONDS: I saw the movie last night, and it's amazing. Have you been going to all of the premieres?

WILLOW SHIELDS: I just went to the LA premiere.

SYMONDS: How was that?

SHIELDS: That was really awesome—it was huge!

SYMONDS: I saw some pictures. It seemed like it was probably really overwhelming.

SHIELDS: Yeah, definitely.

SYMONDS: And this is your first time dealing with all of that stuff, right? Have you found it to be a pretty natural process, or is it like a total other world?

Truth or Dare with the Hunger Games characters - Chapter 5

posted by pasdoll

Rue spun the bottle and returned to her seat quickly.

And it landed on…

Haymitch.

Everyone looked between him and Rue.

Haymitch hiccupped.

"Ahh… Truth or dare?" Rue asked, not certain on what she'll ask him to do or say.

Haymitch hiccupped again, still very much drunk. "I like cactuses. They look funny."

Silence.

"Okay," Rue said, confused. "Ahh, this wasn't my question though."

"Did you ever try to hug a cactus?"

Beetee nodded his head importantly. "It's not a nice feeling."

"No. No, it is not," Haymitch agreed solemnly.

Rue scratched her head. "Ahh, Haymitch, sir, can you, please, just… pick truth...

The Hunger Games: Differences Between The Books And The Films

posted by LowriLorenza89

1. The books are told entirely from Katniss' POV. The audience only learns of other events when Katniss learns about them, and if she never becomes aware of something then we never do either. The films include several scenes without Katniss, including scenes of the Game-makers and Snow's reactions and acts of rebellion in various districts.

2. Several minor characters are omitted entirely from the films. These include Peeta's stylist and prep team, Peeta's older brothers and Gale's younger siblings.

3. A more major character also omitted from the films is Madge. She is the daughter of the Mayor...

10 Love-Life Saving LessonsFrom The Hunger Games

posted by Lisa02127kj

Beyond the obvious plethora of teachings of dystopian futures
and the divisions of rich and poor, The Hunger Games offers
us sage advice about falling in love and being in a relationship.
1) I know that when you are in a relationship you want your partner to play by the rules, but even if rules are stated, they can be changed , and they probably never existed in the first place. Forget the rules and try to be a little flexible.
2) Appearances can be deceiving. While there has to be an attraction if a relationship is ever going to work, allowing yourself to get to know someone, their strengths,...

Catching Fire Review (Spoiler Alert)

Catching Fire Review

Yes, I know I am not no big magazine or newspaper reviewer, but I'm a person with an opinion. So here is what I thought about Catching Fire.
Misterious. The science-fiction is this book makes you really wonder, think, and question our world. Such, as what if in the future what is something drastic were to happen and we were put into 12 districts limited supplies, and most all what if the your children or yourself had to go fight for your life. Well the Hunger Games brought that idea to life, and Catching Fire told us the aftermath of that idea. Even thought, Katniss won...

Ashes Ashes: Chapter 2::The First Night

posted by flabaloobalah

I spend the rest of the reaping day locked in my room, huddled in a ball, trying not to think of Peeta and the painful, dreadful days to come. My mother never tries to talk to me or intrude on me; she must know how I feel, because she loves Peeta too.
When it's suppertime, all she does is crack my door open and slip the plate of food onto my bedside table and run back out. I don't eat much of the fish or green beans, just pick microscopic pieces of the food off and play with it, bored.
When the lights go out and noises cease, I whimper softly into my pillow. Could it really have been this afternoon...
