"THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE" (2013) Review

Despite my enjoyment of the 2012 movie, "THE HUNGER GAMES", I must admit that I had regarded its sequel, "THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE" with a wary eye. One, the movie franchise had replaced Gary Ross with a new one, Francis Lawrence. And two, a relative who had read all three of Suzanne Collins' novels expressed a less-than-impressed opinion of the seconde installment, which this movie is based upon. But enamored of the first film, I decided to give this seconde one a chance.

"CATCHING FIRE" picked up not long after the ending of the first installment....

My tired and achy body feels numb beneath me. The gentle gliding motion of the train rocks me back and forth like the ocean carrying its waves to the shore. Except waves aren't being carried towards what will most likely be their deaths.

Jay, Tabbie, and Maggie, my mentor-everybody calls her Mags-, all ate in the dining cabine ages ago, but I requested avondeten, diner alone in my room. I need time to think and plan strategy. My avondeten, diner lies cold and untouched on top, boven of my dresser, the only other piece of furniture in my dismal little train cabine besides my bed. I only have about seven days to prepare...

hallo people, this is what happened when i read 1 part in mockingjay. ok here i g, I was on my avondeten, diner tafel, tabel when i found out Peeta called Katniss a mutt. when i was done with that chapter I went to my divan, bank i turned off my kindle I sat on the divan, bank put my face on the zitplaats, stoel and started screaming and crying. then i rolled off the divan, bank and put my face back in to a hoofdkussen, kussen on the floor. i sad WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT TO HER! I threw things and yelled at the kindle and my poster of peeta my mom was laughing then my dad came home pagina and he asked my mom what happened. she told him everything. my dad told me...

My fingernails are chewed to the nub. Filled with dirt I cannot clean and of unnatural color. Everywhere I look, there is jungle and green. I hate her, the Mockingjay. She did this, she is going to make us die! She is what killed almost everyone I loved. And what did I do? I didn't know about a rebellion of anything. None of the Capitol children did... And now we have to pay for something that is not on our hands.

Everything around me makes noise, putting the thought of an attacker around in my head. But everyone here is my friend, and 21 of them are already dead. Killed door their neighbor,...

“Mom?” I ask.
“Yes, honey?”
“I miss Uncle Mantu.”
She hugs me. “Me too, Rosie. Me too.”
Uncle Mantu was my Dad’s brother. He was always so funny and nice and lifted the mood wherever he went. Unlike Uncle Rye who doesn’t want anything to do with our family.
“Where’s Cinna?” I ask her.
“Probably at the bakery with Grandpa Mel and your father.”
“Well, I’m gonna go see him. He seems a little off lately.”
“Alright,” she kisses me on the forehead, “Be safe.” She’s always saying that, as if I’ll ever forget. I go outside and start walking the 5 block trip....
