They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!

Buttercup, miserable even with Prim’s constant attention, huddles in the cube and exhales cat breath in my face.

Director Gary Ross has created an adaptation that is faithful in both narrative and theme, but he's also brought a rich and powerful vision of Panem, its brutality and excesses, to the film as well. His world building's fantastic, whether it be the Seam or the Capitol.

Image
I squeeze my eyes shut and try to reach for him across the hundreds and hundreds of miles, to send my thoughts into his mind, to let him know he is not alone. But he is. And I can't help him.

Image
Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don’t even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I’m being upstaged by a dead pig.

I take a few breaths to calm myself, step back, and lift Buttercup by the scruff of the neck. I should've drowned you when I had the chance. His ears flatten and he raises a paw. I hiss before he gets a chance, which seems to annoy him a little, since he considers hissing his own personal sound of contempt.

Unfortunately, I can't seal the sponsor deals for you. Only Haymitch can do that, says Effie grimly. But don't worry, I'll get him to the table at gunpoint if necessary. Although lacking in many departments, Effie Trinket has a certain determination I have to admire.

I must have loved you a lot.
Suzanne Collins
Image
One time, my mother told me that I always eat like I'll never see food again. And I said, I won't unless I bring it home. That shut her up.

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker. It makes me sick, and I hate that.
Suzanne Collins

My guess is that fearful events are the hardest to root out. They're the ones we naturally remember the best, after all.

Destroying things is much easier than making them.

I pull an arrow, whip the notch into place, and am about to let it fly when I'm stopped by the sight of Finnick kissing Peeta. And it's so bizarre, even for Finnick.
Suzanne Collins
Image
Oh, well. At least my blood is flowing.

Peeta, you were supposed to wake me after a couple of hours, I say. For what? Nothing's going on here, he says. Besides, I like watching you sleep. You don't scowl. Improves your looks a lot. This, of course, brings on a scowl that makes him grin.

I had to do that. At least once.
