Hunger Games Trilogy (Box set)

Product Information

To start things off right, a quote from Hunger Games. "The girl’s scream. Had it been her last?" Context: Katniss has been confronted with a girl who had her tongue cut off as punishment and remembers seeing her years earlier just as she was caught. According to memory, as the girl was dragged away, she screamed. Now years later and in the present, Katniss wonders: "The girl’s scream. Had it been her last?" Because people without tongues apparently can't scream. Parlando del libro in generale, mi è piaciuta il mondo della Collins, sentivo quell'atmosfera da dittatura e lo stile di vita dei vari distretti, poi mi anche piaciuto che abbia evidenziato il lato oscuro della televisione, ovvero che tutto quello che vediamo sullo schermo non è quello che sembra anche il concetto della censura (e il periodo storico in cui stiamo vivendo attualmente e in cui stavo leggendo questa trilogia, mi ha un pò aiutato a coglierlo meglio). Someone said "if in doubt, write about what you know" - so I expected at least a more profound delving into the female psyche; I was, again, sorely disappointed.

Well at least for movie 1, Hunger Games, release in 2012 and movie 2, Catching Fire release in 2013. That would be two more rereads of all three books.In this horribly disturbing world, we are introduced to the protagonist Katniss Everdeen, a girl who volunteers to take her little sister's place in the Hunger Games. The trilogy is essentially the story of Katniss and how she goes from a girl struggling to win the Games to a symbol of rebellion for the oppressed. It is also the story of her complex relationships with the very masculine Gale and the doggedly loyal Peeta, two very different heroes whose characters are steadily etched out as the trilogy progresses. Katniss’s character is at once brave and selfish, steadfast and inconsistent, strong and weak – I was quite let down by the way she turns out in the last book but the author almost compensates for it by great character development in Peeta. No review will do The Hunger Games trilogy justice, no matter how well-written, but I'll do my best. I just finished reading the series and already want to re-read it. The Hunger Games trilogy is freaking amazing! It has become one of my favorite series of all times!!! Osborne, Charli (April 1, 2009). "Multimedia Review". School Library Journal.

In any case, the beauty is that these two sacrifices from each of the twelve remaining districts are not just killed outright, like on an altar atop a stone ziggurat Aztec-style. No, that would be too easy. Instead, they fight in televised survival games (inexplicably called the Hunger Games). These are wildly popular (like I'm told Survivor or American Idol used to be), especially with the Capitol crowd and contestants take on a form of celebrity and their stylists are princes and princesses among men.

Portato con me sull’isola (non proprio deserta, ma il distanziamento sociale aiuta a creare l’atmosfera) come lettura d’evasione ha svolto appieno il suo dovere, tanto che l’ho divorato in una decina di giorni (1440 pagine, non so se mi spiego). And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread." Staskiewicz, Keith (March 17, 2011).

If you summarize the plot of any particular dystopian novel you will likely end up with something that sounds just as appealing to the average reader(not appealing at all). Example: 1984 - A guy manages to escape government surveillance for a time (which time he pretty much squanders) and is eventually caught and tortured for his disobedience. Like other dystopias, the plot and characters are only vessels for exploring the themes, which is what the trilogy is really about. The Hunger Games trilogy is about exploitation and manipulation (including propaganda), class warfare, human suffering, and many other morally gray areas that people in general find it difficult to cope with and discuss. The books ask questions about the morality of war, crime, and punishment. They don't dodge the reality of death and loss, which comes even to those who try to do everything they can to prevent it. They explore many facets of human imperfection and how they translate into life. Dominus, Susan (April 8, 2011). "Suzanne Collins's War Stories for Kids". The New York Times .
