All the moms we've met so far are pretty bad--although we've only met two, right? It's interesting how Peeta's mom is actively abusive but appears to be providing for her children. Katniss's mom (whether intentionally or due to factors beyond her control) seems neglectful and willing to let her child lead the family.

My boyfriend and I brainstormed other stories where a mother treats a poor child heartlessly: Cinderella, Harry Potter, and Matilda. Anyone know of other famous ones?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680957802498753068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-76886660416467082792010-07-04T01:11:07.005-04:002010-07-04T01:11:07.005-04:00You know, it occurs to me that if I lived in any o...You know, it occurs to me that if I lived in any of this world, Hunger Games or not, I would so be dead by then. It's just ridiculous: Suzanne Collins is an evil, evil woman. And I love her.<br /><br />It blows me away how cruel Peeta's mom is. I suppose District 12 is large enough that she doesn't know who Kat is and what happened to her father. But how can you see a starving 11 yearChloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02939661446520073191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-55064750336874389912010-07-02T23:16:41.420-04:002010-07-02T23:16:41.420-04:00Glad you mentioned this, Sara.

The issue of getting on Katniss's side and staying there, even when she is forced to do the unthinkable, is one of my main quandaries reading this book. Can't wait to bring it up again and again.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05967347977899709107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-91157825415153140472010-07-02T14:21:59.028-04:002010-07-02T14:21:59.028-04:00Srsly, who here did not immediately proceed from c...Srsly, who here did not immediately proceed from chapter 1 to 2? The story had me in a vice grip! OK, maybe I figured one of our central characters might be drawn, but itty bitty helpless, 12-year-old Prim? How gruesome is this story going to get? Fights to the death, extreme poverty, hunting, and Kat almost drowning that mangy Buttercup? <br /><br />Kat’s memory in the first paragraph is so Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680957802498753068noreply@blogger.com
