I love the Victorian quotes of the KJV 1611...

Not wrong, there...

"...I drop a handful of chocolate balls...Not a bad poster."

"A sister. Someone you fight with and for."

Game-makers in the Arena mopping up??!!

getting tired of hearing Edgar Allan Poe's poem, but loving the second and third quotes of the "steals the goose from off the Common" poem...

chapter 15, and we are seeing that the trackers are now being used

Over 25 years planning the revolt of the 76th Hunger Games. Wow. That is persistence...

Chapter 5 also shows Plutarch already starting to set up the idea of the Tribute training center and the new tribute trains as part of the interview and procession process to keep the attention of Capitol citizens and to add to the charade of the capitol being merciful, forgiving, and kind, as all narcissistic sociopaths like to pretend about themselves.

While they're in the station I love how we see that the capital even has to convince its own citizens of the need for The hunger Games...

Chapter 3: Why would anyone have kids in the Districts knowing that they have to send tributes into the arena?

Brûlée vive, la pauvre fille !!

Alí Pacha était un adrénaline junkie...

"...les Schypetars d'Ali, précédés d'un détachement d'aventuriers français, italiens et suisses..."

Huh. Donc il y avait toujours du participation internationale dans ses guerres d'Empire...

C'est pas possible ça! les Souliotes avait refaite l'alliance avec Ali Pacha?!?

Pauvre Janina!!

Roi? De la Grèce ??!! Ça explique bien toutes les révoltes...

"honte à jamais à l'Angleterre !"
