3rd Exclusive David Simon Q&A (page 9)
angels. kids.
Wanted to submit some characters from the best tv show of all time. There’s a few more after this one.
The first is Duquan "Dukie" Weems (The Wire). Age 15 in season 5.
Tribute Name: Duquan "Dukie" Weems
Age: 14-15 (throughout series)
Restrictions: None (I'd mention something about the heroin addiction, but I think the Capitol can take care of that.)
Can Duquan "Dukie" Weems win the Hunger Games?
Yes
No
If you would like to see a character aged 12-18 enter the Hunger Games, please submit them through my asks. 19+ aged character submissions are currently closed.
Please also look at my pinned post for submission rules as well as a list of previously submitted characters prior to submitting your character.
SIMON: Ed, what were the fundamental themes of this season you wanted to try to convey? BURNS: The first one, like you said, is education. We established through the first three seasons who the guys are on the corner, and this season was to look where they came from. We took four kids—every classroom has a unique mix of kids, but they sort of all define themselves in the end. We picked four of those stereotypical-type characters, and brought them together in this little team. And then we watched them in this first episode as children, and then we’ll watch their journey as it goes on from childhood. […] SIMON: Did the kids that you sort of conceived of, did they represent anyone in particular in your teaching experience? BURNS: Not really, because the classroom always has these same characters. They’re ubiquitous. […] But there’s always the kid who’s the dirty child. There’s always the kid who’s the hustler. There’s always the kid who’s the wannabe gangster. And there’s always that kind of quiet, cool kid—that you would really like to get to, but you really can’t—who’s much older than his thirteen or fourteen years.
David Simon and Ed Burns, commentary on 4x01, "Boys of Summer".
