Everlark | The Hunger Games | An In-Depth Analysis 

I was disappointed that Madge and Mayor Undersee were left out as Madge having the Mockingjay pin and iving it to Katniss links her to Haymitch, to Madge and even her own mother. Having Katniss have one close friend other than Gale made her more relatable, it shows that she can have meaningful relationships and isn’t completely isolated socially.

My personal feeling is Katniss was the spark but Peeta was the fuel/air that allowed the spark to catch fire.

This was great! Would love to hear your thoughts in the changes between the books and the films. Also Rue is such a Prim parallel but it always strikes me that like Katniss, Rue is the eldest sister protecting and providing for her younger siblings in an impossible situation. Her care for Katniss even when she gets nothing out of it (treating the stings) really shows the life and person she could've been outside the games and panem. I think Peeta's clearly abusive childhood and ability to read and then charm the people around him despite such a stark difference in environment like the capitol is skimmed over in the movies. Though the books dont really deeply address it either. The book does do a better job of showing the difference in sincerity Peeta shows Katniss from how he charms the capitol. Their little rooftop chats provide him some fantastic peaks into his own personal style of rebellion. Looking forward to the next one!

I never thought Haymitch influenced te two winner rule change, I thought it was just from the Game Makers being twisted and fully planning to revoke it once two tributes from one district remain. Or perhaps there were pro-rebellion people working there and they realised/had been told that Katniss was a potential Mockingjay symbol and that she should survive.

In the book, Katniss definitely voices her fears of the arena being an icy tundra/aa desert island…

I was reading the title for a quite long time and wondering who Everlark is....then I suddenly realized it's obviously Peenis Everlark and I felt dumb XD

Loved it
