Andre’s comments from the On Tyrants & Tributes : Real World Lessons From The Hunger Games group.

That is a fantastic point. I could never put my finger on what allowed me and millions of others to read past the violence. Thank you for the insight.

Environmental protesters in Oklahoma were arrested after dropping a Hunger Games themes banner with too much glitter on it. They are being charged for a "terrorism hoax" which is punishable for up to 10 years in prison. The lawyer representing the protesters said "I've been practicing law since the 1970s. Quite frankly, I've been expecting this," Parr said. "Based upon the historical work I've been involved in, I know that when popular movements that confront the power structure start gaining traction, the government ups the tactics they employ in order to disrupt and take down those movements."

Lol NOPE! Just the opposite. You can flag comments for "abuse".

I really want to be able to "like" comments. Not just this one but for a lot of what is being discussed in this group.

Spoilers:

In 15th video Prof Amy Sturgis says that the "Ultimate War" in the The Hunger Games is over propaganda. Considering the events that take place in "The Mockingjay" this seems fitting. However I'm not sure if this is "the ultimate war". I felt that even though the fight between the governments was one over propaganda, the fight of Katniss and Peeta was one purely of individualism. I thought they were just fighting to choose there own lives for themselves and be left alone by the capital.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Of course. But then they rebuild her and she becomes an evil Sith lord able to part the seas and slay dragons. Eventually she escapes to Neverland with Prim where she meets a beautiful prince and they fall in love. However her parents eventually find out and send her to a camp where she is forced to dig whole all day every day. Eventually she meets Morgan Freeman and escapes the camp. She eventually joins a circus and dies again while trying to sleep like a normal person.

I would argue the surveillance

We will use both movies for this purpose. But please, if you want to use a scene from the second film preface it with a Spoiler Alert.I will start:

SPOILER ALERT: The speech Katniss gives to Rue's parents in Catching Fire. Everything about it was perfect.
