During the (short) 2-week "holidays", i've been..
- mugging. duh -.-
- reading The Hunger Games.
Katniss Everdeen, one of the main characters, is cool and brave (and i love her sarcasm) :p
About The Hunger Games:
"The Hunger Games, established by the Capitol, is an annual event in which twenty-four children between the ages of twelve and eighteen, one boy and one girl from each district, are chosen from a lottery and entered a gladitorial competition where they must fight each other to the death until only one remains standing.
The event served two purposes.
The first was to demonstrate the overwhelming power the Capitol had over the districts by taking their children by force and forcing them to slay each other in a no-rules competition.
The second purpose was purely for entertainment. The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in the same vein as a reality show, its entrants practically considered celebrities and the events themselves dramatized and glorified."
-wikipedia
Simply put, there is only one way to win the Hunger Games - kill, or be killed.
I like the concept, the story, and the writing - and it is kind of insulting that some websites are comparing Twilight and The Hunger Games (love triangle)..bleah..
(oh please) Katniss isn't a damsel in distress - i made my friend read the book, and we are both crazy about her - her "signature braid", bow and arrows, and...
I admire her bravery and her rebellious spirit ;)
Can't wait for the movie to be released! XDD
Here's a sneak peek of the movie ;D
*quote* "I can't stop reading" - Stephen King.
Really, it gives me a sense of escapism and for once I can stop thinking about Prelims and just immerse myself in the 'adventure' ;)
Mugging mode: ON.
Wish me luck for prelims :)
n ALL THE BEST for yer exams too! ;)
