@facade: when sara first got on here i asked her not to say anything but once we found a niche in this thread i told her it was ok... not many know... other than you now, cica, kat, zeap and lostin are the only ones who know... not that it's a secret, but you know...
@sara: well if she doesn't show effort then it is her own fault if she stays back
Lol! I feel privileged then! :P
I'll go around telling people that I know something that they don't!
...And they'll go insane, and I'll just laugh and laugh and...
Wow, this is actually a half-decent idea! :shock:
I'll probably forget to do that by morning. ;)
yeah my teacher wants me to read them with her so we can talk about them ... they are reserving me a copy at the library cuz i was maxed out on books but im getting it tomorrow
Linnea: In a nutshell... What used to be America is now called Panem. It is divided into twelve Districts, (well, thirteen, but the last one is allegedly not really there anymore), and the Capitol which rules them. The Capitol is a rich, hedonistic place, while the Districts, each with their own industry, are poor, essentially working to support the Capitol's lifestyle.
To keep the Districts suppressed, the Capitol selects 24 tributes -- children between the ages of 12 and 18, two from each District, one boy and one girl -- to compete in its annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death in a booby-trapped arena. This is sort of an essential-viewing realty TV show for everyone in the Districts, and the Capitol, though the Capitol people take it somewhat less seriously. To them it is bloodsport to take bets on... The winner of each games brings a year of relative fortune to his or her District, and lives a life of ease. The rest go home in body bags.
The books follow Katniss and Peeta, Tributes from the poor coal-mining District 12, through the games, wherein Katniss

unwittingly becomes a symbol of rebellion for the people of Panem.
There is also a love triangle, which I think Sara will appreciate. ;)
