A Quote for the Week
“Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don’t even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I’m being upstaged by a dead pig. My heart starts to pound, I can feel my face burning. Without thinking, I pull an arrow from my quiver and send it straight at the Gamemakers’ table. I hear shouts of alarm as people stumble back. The arrow skewers the apple in the pig’s mouth and pins it to the wall behind it. Everyone stares at me in disbelief.”
Ready, Set….
Here it is, the official Hunger Games trailer. EXCITING!

She explains her inspiration…”If you take elements of the two types of programming I was watching — reality television and war coverage — what you come up with is a gladiator game.” Here’s the interview, along with an excerpt from Catching Fire.

A Quote for the Week
“Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don’t expect it because I don’t think of District 12 as a place that cares about me. But a shift has occurred since I stepped up to take Prim’s place, and now it seems I have become someone precious. At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and holds it out to me. It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love. ” (The Hunger Games, Chapter 2)
