does Katniss not know what white rice is?

“Chicken and chunks of oranges cooked in a creamy sauce laid on a bed of pearly white grain ….”

“I try to imagine assembling this meal myself back home … … I don’t recognise the grain; our own tessera ration cooks down to an unattractive brown mush”

It’s so sad that the hunger games is so often disregarded as just one of those cliché, romance stories for teen girls with an unnecessary love triangle for them to thirst over (the likes of twilight) when in reality, it’s so much deeper than that. I read the first book a couple of days ago, and already I can’t wait to read the second and the third. The way the book shows the corruption of the capital and the dehumanization of the districts is phenomenal. And the love triangle isn’t there for nothing, it’s supposed to be an allegory for the different paths she’s struggling to choose between in the midst of everything. With Peeta representing kindness and humanity and Gale representing anger and vengefulness, both as a trauma response to the cruel reality of their world, but with both choosing different ways to combat the system and to fight. Where Gale lets his hatred fester, Peeta is determined to not let the Capitol take that humanity and compassion away from him.

All this to say, I hate how the hunger games is represented, just because it’s popular among girls, because it’s genuinely such a strong piece of media and not to mention, it’s phenomenally written.

When she opens it, there's not a squad of Peacekeepers but a single, snow-caked figure. Madge. She holds out a small, damp cardboard box to me. "Use these for your friend," she says. "They're my mother's. She said I could take them. Use them, please."

Madge Undersee known for her silent strength and ever so gentle kindness for Katniss Everdeen. The one to give her the Mockingjay pin that became the symbol of the revolution.

Believe it or not, I was obsessed with The Hunger Games in middle school. To the point where I could tell you how most of the tributes died, without consulting the book or the movie. Explain the difference between the film and the book, to the most minuscule detail, and had a huge crush on Josh Hutcherson. I even make my own merged, read all the movie companion books (explaining how the films were made), read the unofficial cookbook and watch the actors interviews on repeat like 60 million times.
