Just re read hunger games

Again.
Like the fourth time.  Always the whole series in some order. Always unable to out it down. Seeing something new in it.

The horrifying feeling of watching civil war that I felt on first reading is not emerging again. Maybe coz that was when the Sri Lankan war had just ended.

What this shows. Rebels or rulers. All are cruel in the face of the need for the perceived greater good.   Taking down children. Their own . Thugs rule countries. Saints cannot.

And loss is intense and personal. 

Annie and finnick.  I wish she had let them survive. 

Was it necessary for her to go hunt snow? The rebel forces did it without her. Unless it's her showing up in capitol that derailed them and energised the rebels?

If she hadn't hunted snow at the end  finnick the crew and prim may have survived. The others she couldn't help. This I hold her responsible for.

Who penned the kids in though?  Capitol or rebels?
