Katniss Everdeen

Emily Browning                                     Anna Sophia Robbs                             Anna Popplewell

Here is the Round up for Katniss. Anna and I searched for the actresses most people thought looked or matched the characteristics of Katniss. Here are three that were popular. Leave your comments on what you think. Please no rude comments towards the actress. This is simply for fun. And if you think there’s someone else you think deserves to be up here, comment and we’ll decide to do another round up.

Next Round up will be . . .

Drum Roll!!

The one and only, Peeta Mellark!

Yes, I know some of the content is Twilight related but being that I am from South Dakota; I felt this needed some attention.

And sadly this is the only video I could find on the Native Suicides in South Dakota, which are the HIGHEST in the nation.

WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!

I can’t believe it’s Thursday. The week has gone by fast. Sorry I’m posting this late but here you guys go. I hope you guys like the video I have chosen for this week.

I don’t agree on most of the cast or clips chosen by the maker, but it’s an exciting movie trailer!

How do you think Finnick will come through in book three?

Will he be a good ally for Katniss?

John Granger of hogwartsprofessor.com takes us full force into “Unlocking the Hunger Games”.

Hunger Games is a dystopian novel at its core, though it has important mythic (think “Theseus and the Athenian Youths”), satirical (think Survivor), alchemical (think Tale of Two Cities), and coming-of-age (David Copperfield) touches. The post-apocalyptic setting of the trilogy with its oppressive authoritarian regime and its nightmare to-the-death competition between District tributes is an engaging cross of 1984 and Rollerball. And that hybrid story from nightmare futures powerfully delivers Ms. Collins messages, most obviously her critique of our addiction to television and its soul corrosive influences, but also a call for a change within us, a revolution against the regime’s shadow-casters and myth-makers via our choosing a counter-narrative of love and sacrifice.
