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.

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 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,...

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...

'The Valley Song' Lyrics

posted by no1drwhofan

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!'

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...

Truth or Dare with the Hunger Games characters - Chapter 7

"So, my turn?" Cato asked and moved to the middle of the circle.

He spun the bottle and returned to his seat.

And it landed on…

Thresh.

Thresh looked indifferent. Cato smirked.

"Truth or dare?" Cato asked the indifferent looking Thresh.

"Dare," Thresh replied indifferently.

"Ooh, I have a nice dare for you!" Cato declared.

He got an indifferent look from Thresh.

Which freaked him out a bit. Didn't Thresh have any other face expressions? Was he just indifferent all the time?

Weird.

"Come on Cato, say the dare already!" Katniss urged him, looking actually quite excited.

Cato shot Katniss a look, then turned...

Dumb Ways to Die: Hunger Games Style

posted by JasmineValdez

First of all if you haven't seen the Dumb Ways to Die video, go ahead and watch it now. Just google it.

***************************************************

Set fire to your gear
Poke a stick at a career
Arrive to the feast late
Use your only food as Mockingjay bait

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die, dumb ways to di-i-i-ie, so many dumb ways to die

Attack someone with only a fork
Run around the Cornicopia acting like a dork
Try to teach yourself how to sing
Eat a two week old unrefrigerated groosling

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die, dumb ways to di-i-i-ie, so many dumb ways to die...

Hunger Games Parody Lyrics - Lazy Song

posted by asthesunsetss

Here's Parody I wrote ! (:

Today, I don't feel like doing anything.
I just wanna sit in my tree.
Don't feel like picking up my bow,
Or rebeling against president snow,
Cause today I am not playing the hunger games.

I'm goona pick up some arrows and sit on a branch
Stay away from the careers, eat a green plant.
No gamemaker's goona tell me I can't.

Nah,

I will walk around the arena, do nothing at all.
And I know this will anger, the capitol
Cause right now I know im really dull.

Oh yes I said it,
I can say it,
Cause Im the mockingjay

Today, I don't feel like doing anything.
I just wanna sit in my tree.

Gale just shrugged his shoulders and moved towards the bottle. He spun it.

And it landed on…

Johanna Mason.

Johanna raised an eyebrow as she saw Gale's devilish look. Though his look wasn't directed at her.

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare," Johanna said, not hesitating.

Gale smiled a oh-I-have-a-plan-forming-in-this-brilliant-mind-of-mine-and-oh-no-one-knows-what-I'm-planning-and-oh-I'm-so-freaking-awesome-and-smart smile.

"Come on, what take you so long?" Cato yawned.

"I dare you… to give Peeta a lap dance."

Peeta paled immediately and looked at Johanna with terrified eyes.

Johanna smiled and got on her...

Hunger Games Parody - Somebody that I used to know - Some tribute that I used to know.

posted by asthesunsetss

Hi! (: This is a parody I wrote. This is set in Peeta's pov right after the 74th hunger games(:

Now and then I think of when we were in that cave.
When you ran and got the medicine so I wouldn't die.
Waited so long for you to notice me,
but you and haymitch went and lied to me.
Now I wish i hadn't have survived

Some victors get addicted to drinks or morphling.
But im only addicted to what I thought, What I thought we were.

So after the games, when we were on that train,
and you said that things would be the same,
before any of these games ever happened.

But you didn't have to cut me off,
Pretend our love...

"Ocean's song", Chapter two (47th Hunger Games)

posted by rw499

The justice building is huge, with carpeted floors the color of the stormy sea. I wait for my family in a round room. The whole place has a morbid feeling to it, as if the tributes who have been here before me haunt the place, traces of their restless spirits left behind. The creak of a door signals the arrival of my family. The sight of them breaks my resolve.

My mother hugs me and whispers how much she loves me. My father gives me a ring with a pearl set in the center as my token. My little sister smiles and says how happy she is that we'll be moving into the Victor's Village soon. Her...

A Hunger Games Inspired Sonnet

posted by Elizabeth_Darcy

Created by ~commoner-pocky on Deviantart

For English class not too long ago, we had to write our own Shakespearean sonnet, since we were at the time going to start reading Othello. I wasn't too sure what to write for my sonnet, but after thinking about it for a long time, I got the idea to write a sonnet based on The Hunger Games. I had an idea to write a sonnet of Rue's death, since it is such an emotional scene. I wrote it as if Katniss was speaking to Rue. I wanted to share it with you fellow Hunger Games fans... I hope you like it!

When I look upon thy young fading life

Thou see the light escaping from your eyes

Begging for the end...

Truth or Dare with the Hunger Games characters - Chapter 1

"Let's play truth or dare!"

Gale raised one of his eyebrows and looked at the excited looking Peeta with a disdainful look. "Truth or dare? What are you, a twelve year old girl?"

"Hey!" both Prim and Rue said, looking at Gale with death glares.

"Actually, I'd love to play truth or dare!" Katniss declared and sat down next to a shirtless Finnick, trying to form a circle.

"Oh... yeah, me too!" Gale agreed immediately, looking at Katniss with a soft, loving expression.

Peeta snorted at him. "Dude, you're so pathetic."

Peeta then turned to sit next to Katniss, shaking with excitement, and tried to make...
