What does that even mean? A win for accessibility? Do you mean to say that you are praising that the book is accessible as an audiobook? There’s a lack of clarity in your writing. Also “I love the words that are written here.” You’re listening to a book. & it’s just kind of an odd statement as a way to praise a book.

@@a.evelyn5498not op, but I'm pretty sure they're complimenting the video displaying the book text being shown on screen while it's being said. The 'a win for accessibility' part is likely them saying having the source material being spoken and shown visually via text simultaneously is a helpful accommodation to those who better understand books read to them while they have access to the text rather than purely reading it or purely listening to an audio book of it. Hope this helps.😊

Okay so not kidding when I felt like I was near death at the hospital. I didn't eat, nothing went down. I couldn't stand up, I learned that I would need physical therapy to walk. My fever wouldn't go down and then one night I literally never felt such a need to fall asleep. All of sudden this wave of tiredness came over me but I had this bad feeling that if I did, it would be bad news for me. My mom knew something was wrong too and was doing anything she could to keep me awake. The nurses learned that I need blood transfers immediately. There was one thing I so badly wanted to read during all of this and that was to read the Hunger Games but I felt so weak and I couldn't even lift a book for too long but I still asked for the book at the hospital. They didn't have it :( But then I had the idea to look up the audio book. Thank you. This was what I needed at that time. After I finished the book, I felt like I could get through it. This book has become so dear to me.

Could you tell me all the differences between bok and film
@targaryen_timelord
Жыл бұрын
@@yagachi8821 Oh my where to start? Bare with me, this is going to be a rollarcoaster. In the first book, there are a lot of differences from the films, but in my opinion, the movies are nearly a perfect adaptation. A big difference is the origin of Katniss's mockingjay pin. The symbolism of the pin is a lot deeper in the books. The pin belonged to Masylise Donner, the female tribute from district 12 during the 50th Hunger Games/Second Quarter Quell. She was the twin sister to Madge Undersees mother, and she never recovered after her death. Madge was Katniss's friend throughout her childhood, and when Katniss is reaped for the 74th Hunger Games, Madge goes to see her and gives her the mockingjay pin, begging her to wear it into the arena. She doesn't tell Katniss about Masylise, in fact we don't get to know this character until Catching Fire, when Katniss and Peeta begin training for the 3rd Quarter Quell. They find a tape of the 50th Hunger Games/the 2nd Quarter Quell, and watch it. Haymitch Abernathy was the District 12 male tribute and the Victor of the 50th games. He was allies with Masylise as well, and he had to watch her die a horrible death. The mockingjay pin was returned to Masylise's family along with her body, and then passed on to Katniss because her mother was friends with Masylise and her family. The existence of mockingjays themselves is also incredibly symbolic in the books. Mockingjays are the result of female mockingbirds mating with male jabber jays. Jabber Jay's were created during the dark days of the first rebellion against the Capitol. They were created to mimic human speech, and repeat long passages of human dialog. They were released into the districts to spy on the Rebels, but once the Rebels realized what the birds were doing, they began feeding them false information. Eventually, the Capitol had to release all of the jabber jays into the wild, all of which were male birds. Over time they mated with female mockingbirds and created a whole new species. The existence of mockingjays is a sign of the rebellion itself. When Katniss is given the pin, she is transformed into the voice of the second rebellion. Her courage, sacrifice, and selflessness inspires the entire nation to rise up against the Capitol. The relationship between Peeta's father and Katniss's family is a big part of the books as well. Peeta's father is a kind man, and he one day thought he'd marry Katniss's mother, but as Peeta tells Katniss in the cave, his father said "but she ran off with a coal miner." When Peeta asked why, he said "because when he sings, even the birds stopped to listen." Music is hugely symbolic in the books, as Katniss shares her father's beautiful voice, but she hardly ever sings after her father's death, finding it too painful. A 5 year old Peeta then watched Katniss's father one day and heard him sing "The Hanging Tree." After that, he watched Katniss, and when he heard her sing, he knew just like her mother, that he was a gonner. Peetas dad comes to see Katniss after she is reaped for the 74th games, he gives her cookies and promises to look out for Prim and her mother, as he has always had a soft spot for Katniss's little sister, whom everyone couldn't help but love. Peeta's dad knew that Katniss's mom was a fragile woman, who struggled with severe depression after her husband's death, and he promised to look out for her while Katniss was in the games. Peeta's dad was genuinely a good person, and he loved Peeta more than his other sons, finding Peeta to be the most like him. Peeta in the books is also a lot different, but he still retains his heart of gold. He has curly hair and blue eyes, and he also loses his leg after the 74th games and has to wear a prosthetic. Throughout the series his love for Katniss shines through everything, and he does so much to protect and take care of her, as she does the same for him. I personally don't think Katniss ever loved Gale, they were always platonic and too much alike. Peeta became the perfect balance for Katniss and he is the only character in the entire series she ever admits to NEEDING. Now for the bread. The day that Peeta threw Katniss that bread out in the rain, was way more fleshed out in the books. Katniss and her family were starving to death after the loss of her father, and she was trying to sell Prims baby clothes out of desperation. Nobody wants to buy them, and she ends up dropping them in the mud anyways, ruining them. She makes her way over to the merchant section of district 12, hoping to be able to dig in someone's trash for some food, but they were all just emptied. Finally, she succumbs to her hunger, dehydration, and sorrow. She falls to her knees, shaking so violently she doesn't think she can get back up. She is content to sit and lay against a tree and die, but Peeta sees her and decides to help her. He purposefully burns bread and gets beat by his mother for it, before going outside in the rain and giving the burnt bread to Katniss. The bread is warm, it heats and revitalizes Katniss. She's able to bring home food for her family, and she is overjoyed. Later she ponders why Peeta did that for her, and she realizes he did it because he was simply being kind. He didn't want to see her starve. After that day, Katniss wanted to thank him but could never find the right time. They saw each other around school, and one day they made eye contact, but quickly averted their eyes. Then Katniss saw the first dandelion of the spring, and leans down to pick it. She then knows how she's going to survive. Dandelions are edible, and with the help of her dads edible plant book, she is able to keep her family alive. It all started with Peeta, giving her the bread that gave her hope and the will to keep going.

Some more minor details in the books are Katniss's prep team/Effie Trinket. In the films, Effie takes on a much bigger role in Katniss and Peeta's lives than she does in the books. This is a change the movies made that in fact made the movies better. Effie is a very loveable character and she is even more amazing in the films than the books. Haymitch's characterization in the films, along with Woody Harrelson playing the role, make his character unforgettable. Although he is meant to be from the Seam like Katniss, and share her dark hair and grey eyes, many fans have zero issue with Haymitch in the films because Woody pulled off the character flawlessly. Most of the changes made in the film were philosophical and political changes. They never really discuss the actual government or the country at large, or the concept of Panem et Circensus, which is a Roman based ideology that translates to "bread and circuses." It's a society based on the people giving up their political and governmental powers in exchange for a life of luxurious living, overindulgence in food, and the ultimate entertainment, The Hunger Games. If the masses are sated, fed, and entertained, they will be more compliment and docile. The system works only because the Capitol relies soley on the districts for their resources. It's actually a very interesting concept that's worth reading up on.

Seriously though, it's so different hearing the story this time now that I'm in my 20s. Like, the image of her dramatically throwing herself on her bed sobbing, and yelling at everyone to go away when they knock at her door after shooting an arrow at the judges lunch? Well it reminded me that yup, she really is a teenager. You can picture her kicking her feet and everything. Not that her getting emotional and crying in her situation is somehow childish, I'm sure any adult would too. But an adult would still respond to this differently and have a much easier time processing these difficult feelings. She's still an adolescent though, so she's still learning. Which makes it all the more sad that she's being traumatized during such an important developmental period 😓 Poor kid

I think this series is criminally underrated. How the three books and characters link is insane. Everything with the SA to victors and how they are still controlled after "winning". The way I'm convinced that every reaping is staged. Taking Peeta would reduce food to district 12, and taking Prim would devastated Katnis who also provides food. I think it was a happy accident at first when she volunteered, until the realised how cleaver her and Peeta were. I mean, look at catching fire. The arena is obviously tailored to finnick and remember how Annie was originally chosen. That would have broken finnick so nobody would have gotten out without injury and all talk of a revolution truly over as finnick wouldn't be able to function long enough to inspire a fight. The way the mutts are specific for people and the capitol tortures Johannah with water when that had originally been finicks way of calming her. I truly believe that everything is so carefully calculated and ment to be by the capital. It's unnerving but also extremely cleaver and understandable why there have been 73 hunger games before Katnis and Peeta

this is a really compelling theory! but i think the reaping being staged takes away a very important message in the plot. katniss was never the “chosen one”, it was not a predetermined decision to have her in the games. she is exactly what snow made her out to be in the last book of the trilogy: a face plucked from the masses. she was just a young girl who wanted to protect her little sister, got caught up in the unforgiving world of authoritarian politics, and eventually made to be the face of the rebellion against her initial will. yet against all odds and all her efforts to protect those she loves, the war still strips away almost everything she held dear. it’s a grounded and realistic interpretation of a world that destroys, exacerbated by the greedy and those abusive of power.

Now having read the ballad of songbirds and snakes, I can see how easily the Reaping could have been rigged/staged. Lucy Grey was intentionally reaped, and I think Prim was as well. They hadn't intended on Katniss volunteering, because NO one from 12 ever volunteers, even for family members. I think that the Seam especially was targeted on purpose because of Snows history with Lucy Grey. Some of the peacekeepers in 12 obviously knew that Katniss had been illegally hunting in the woods, and I think Prim was reaped as punishment. Her name was in the Reaping ball only once, because she didn't have to take out tessere, further proving that Katniss was the sole provider of food and game. Snow wanted 12 to suffer the most for Lucy Grey, and what better way to make them suffer than by choosing the weakest, most malnourished children from the Seam for the games.

i read this in two days because of an ela assignment. It is so dam good I cant help myself from taking it over a longer period.
Peeta: “How many times have you seen someone wrestle someone to death?” Well Peeta, if Heracles was able to kill a lion by wrestling it, you can certainly do it. And Achilles managed to kill a powerful Trojan Warrior by wrestling him (granted they both used chokehold methods, but the concept still applies.) Never say wrestling can’t be deadly.

An amazingly touching and heartbreaking book, action pack and desperately paced. Chilling and uplifting, an incredible achievement for a YA book.
