In Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games, the oppressive Capital as taken control of what is now called Panem. To remind those of a failed rebellion, the Capital requires that each district offer up two of its young as sacrifices and entertainment in what is called The Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen makes the ultimate sacrifice when her younger sister is chosen from the lottery to represent their District 12 by volunteering in her stead. Katniss learns that she can be a symbol for hope, and maybe even a spark to a revolution. Hannah Randolph is back with us again this week as we talk about what makes this book so popular, how deep really is narrative, and are the characters that surround Katniss more complex than she is?Theme song to A Deadman's Books: Surfing! by automaticbananasRoyalty Free Music from Tunetank.comTrack: Surfing! by automaticbananashttps://tunetank.com/track/5070-surfing!/ Hosted on Acast.
