It was! Now I'm catching up online because my school was cancelled today.
GOAL: I WIL READ AND REVIEW MOTR BY THE END OF THE WEEK. Because it does look really good. I've seen you and deathmallow discuss interesting topics featured in both your stories so I'm guessing your fic is just as in-depth and thoughtful as hers.
Very true, about Katniss' narration. It reflects how real and flawed she is, which is a nice device to show her develop as her worldview changes, but then she'll miss or even dismiss something and then it's just plain annoying because we miss out on the most of characters like Titus, Annie, Haymitch, etc.
his case shows exactly how awful and terrible the Games have to be for the children involved - the majority of them would be so much less able to handle the arena than the ones who emerge as victor in the end
Yep, because not everyone was already a trained gladiator or a skilled hunter-gatherer who could find sufficient ways to not starve like Katniss (or, I believe, Haymitch), let alone capable of going in with any hopeful mindset.
YAY for plans to read MOTR! I'm all in favor of that. :D
I personally like millari's bit of backstory in which Haymitch learned knife fighting in school when he was defending himself against bullies. Yes, absolutely, to how a tribute without any skills would be much more likely to freeze or panic - they wouldn't have a reason to hope at all.
