Thought Provoking Questions About The Hunger Games Book Trilogy
Good questions. I believe there's an old saying to this effect, "those who don't learn from histories' mistakes, are doomed to repeat them." There are many similarities to the Hunger Games, and many past and current cultures around the world that utilize games and bloodshed to entertain the masses, or appease their gods, or to keep the population at a manageable number depending on available food, water, provisions, and/or to maintain control and the cooperation of the working classes, as well as the upper classes. Having a ruler and, or a ruling class is a natural hierarchy to insure the gathering and production of food and goods, as well as to maintaining civilized behavior and preventing a free for all- -"to the mighty go the spoils" attitude.
I think Katniss was being manipulated by Coin, so that Coin could make a power play for President. It might've worked if Coin hadn't changed Gale's ethical code, which involved children being sacrificed to their cause. Also, ultimately Katniss and Peeta went through so much together, that she understood and felt a stronger bond and empathy for Peeta, and she had less understanding of Gale's "win by any means necessary" mentality. I think Katniss kept a better idea of good, strong, human values and integrity than many of the people in her society. It allowed her to view Peeta as damaged, but redeemable, and changed Gale into a virtual stranger that she couldn't reconcile or identify with anymore when his values changed him.
Fabulous Book series! Brilliant, wonderfully casted, and beautifully, elaborately, heart-touching, meticulously filmed movies! I loved the series and the movies! I want to read the stories and watch the movies over and over and over...I can't get enough! Thank you, Suzanne Collins!!!

January 1, 2014Discussion guide
So in this guide it gives a pretty good summary of each of the books. It asks questions about each book that really get you thinking about the story.
after that it ask questions. comparing the books, making you look at each of them separate but together.
and then it has the about the author at the end.
I really enjoyed thus because not only am I a Hunger Games fan
But I ha e taken "how well do you know the book" quizzes and stuff and always did really good.
with most of the questions in this book it asks questions that could have more than one answer,making g you really think about how the books really are.

Better than book one which is quite an anomaly. The uprising is in full swing and everyone connected to Katniss is in danger. I still feel the need to learn more about the society versus the districts and what role Snow has to play in all of this. It would have been interesting to also know some of his personal history. Dialogue remains stilted.

Y'know, it was kind of fun to flip thorough and see the content, discussion topics and whatnot but it was mostly like book review I would suppose? There was maybe a handful of things that I could take from the guide that added to my Hunger Games experience but it was still a good read.
