I Think The Most Radical Thing The Hunger Games Does Is Tell Young People That The Most Revolutionary

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate

So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool

Mini Rant About Peeta's Nightmares:

Mini Rant about Peeta's nightmares:

When he explains his nightmare to Katniss, he tells her they're mostly about her and he's okay when he knows she's safe. I don't believe him. Based on his paintings, I think his nightmares are a lot more often like hers than he lets on But Katniss completely bases her self worth on how much she can provide for others. SO I think Peeta tells one lie in the moment to tell the bigger truth: Her existence is enough.

no one here is guilty of this crime but her name is LENORE DOVE. Not Lenore. Dove is not her middle name it’s the second half of her first name.

Double barrel names are full names. You say the whole thing. It’s like Mary-Kate Olson. It’s not Mary or Kate, it’s Mary-Kate. There’s just a space between Lenore and Dove instead of a hyphen, which is totally normal. The whole thing is her name. Just like Lucy Gray isn’t Lucy. Double barrel names are a part of Covey culture AND ALSO current southern and Appalachian culture.

I’d just like to acknowledge that South Africa wouldn’t have such a strong case without the work of the journalists, both alive and martyred, on the ground in Gaza supplying the world with firsthand information about the genocide and that they deserve thanks for it.
