“There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.”

hot girl spring is out. mary lennox spring is in. get in loser we’re frolicking in the garden; we’re talking to birds; we’re getting lost in the heather; we’re wandering gothic manors in the dead of night and discovering secret cousins concealed in attic bedrooms, we’re jumping rope

Annnnd another thing the movies messed up:

It’s a very important character beat that Peeta is bleeding out and dying when Katniss comes up with the berry idea.

It’s not just that Katniss refuses to kill him.

Peeta is dying all on his own already, as fast as he can. Katniss is scrambling to get him medically evacuated. It’s the feast all over again.

Everyone’s expecting him to die in her arms and for her to win the games. It’s the logical thing and it would be in no way her fault and it’s almost inevitable and unstoppable because of how fast he’s bleeding.

But she knows if he dies she’ll “spend the rest of [her] life trying to think [her] way out of the arena.”

Katniss did the impossible and got them to take a dying kid out of the games early. Peeta passes out on the ladder and almost dies several times on the table while they work on him, while Katniss watches, unshowered and feral and berserk, with a frilly mocktail drink sitting next to her.

It’s just so much more raw and visceral and clear in the books.

It’s really important to me that it wasn’t “I can’t kill you” but it’s “I can’t let you die.” More than that it’s “you are dying and i have no power to change that but I’m going to anyway.”

And it actually worked.

@pinkrokosmos oooh you’re right! That’s almost certainly what the game makers were hoping she’d do. Would be poetically full circle too with his crush starting with her singing. How have I never thought of this before?

His idea was still with me, because it was not a vapour sunshine could disperse, nor a sand-traced effigy storms could wash away; it was a name graven on a tablet, fated to last as long as the marble it inscribed.
