May the odds be ever in your favor at the 75th annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games, a trilogy of children from ages twelve to eighteen fighting to the death until one lone victor remains standing.
“I love The Hunger Games because I think that it shows a great life lesson and it shows who you want to be and express yourself,” freshman Kelsey Powers said.
Powers collects Hunger Games merchandise and is an adament reader.
“I own a bunch of Hunger Games memorabilia I have four posters, a cardboard cutout of Katniss, a Katniss Barbie doll, a movie kit, a keychain, a mockingjay pin, and two Hunger Games t-shirts. I bought my tickets in September and I am going to the midnight premier,” Powers said.
The Hunger games made a great impact on Power’s reading habits.
“Catching Fire was my favorite book out of the whole trilogy and I love the idea of how they brought back the tributes who won for the past districts and made them battle again,” Powers said. “I discovered The Hunger Games in seventh grade and got hooked to reading. I would never read unless I had to and now I can’t stop reading unless I have to.”
Many fans are excited about the upcoming movie and are interested how true the movies stay to the books.
“Like any book lover, I began reading the Hunger Games in search of a book that would get me hooked into a superficial reality where I could fall in love with characters and wish myself into a book,” junior Laurie Bengoa said. I like how it is cleverly written and the characters are just so easy to connect with. The series is amazing and I can’t wait until the next movie.”
Some people love it so much that they bought their tickets months in advance.
“Yes, call me crazy but I did buy my movie tickets five months before the movie came out but I just really love the books and have been waiting for Catching Fire for such a long time.” freshman April Briggs said. “I love Catching Fire because I like how they bring back the old tributes who have won the past games and whatever shape, size, age, and health they are in they have to compete unless they get a volunteer and I thought that was cruel and it made me want to read it more.”
Now lets see which lone victor remains in Catching Fire and how the movie ends. Catching Fire comes out November 22nd.
