I have finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy (Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mocking Jay) last Sunday. Actually I have read The Hunger Games but decided not to read the next book because the first one is a complete series as it is, and to avoid too much excitement over the next movie.
A weekend before I start reading the book, I watched the Catching Fire and it leaves me hanging and of course I am not the kind of person who doesn't like to be hanging for
sometime, I decided to read the two books and broke my promise a year ago.
Honestly, I am so in love with Katniss and Peeta's that I really hate it that the Catching Fire was ended like that. I also believe that when a reader felt that something has ended when you finished reading a book, that means the book is really good and that is what I felt after reading Hunger Games. (
I have felt it aswell when I read Harry Potter, The Perks Of Being a Wallflower, and some other great books too!)
I am still in the Hunger Games fan world that I can't help but think about it, and the lives that has been lost, the opportunity, the scenes, the heartbreaks and fears. It brings me so much emotions that I was really crying while reading >.<
I think I have three favorite lines/quotes from the whole series and it was top of this, which was on the last part.
What I need to survive is not Gale’s fire kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again and only Peeta can give me that.
So after when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?”
I tell him, “Real”
While reading it over and over again, I can't help by recalling the force of magnetism, which is the opposite attracts, and alike repel. Peeta and Katniss were so different, the one is so free and open, while the other wanted to always in control. Katniss and Gale are the alike poles, though they did not repel and there is a point in time, if maybe if the odds are in their favor, they end up being married though I really doubt that they will have any child.
I recall that saying and realized why Peeta is really the best for Katniss, and why normal people
also falls for the person who are the opposite of them.
Katniss is right that what she needs is her dandelion in the spring, that can give hope and promises. I am not actually sure of this, but maybe looking at someone with
different perspective that you are can give you more life that looking at someone with the same feelings like you.
Katniss is a dark character, same with Gale, and if you will put yourself
into her shoes, it is scary to look in someone else eyes with your reflection. It's frightening, and she knows that what Gale's eyes will reflect, yes he love her, and
she love him once upon a time when she didn't feel how it is to look into
someone eyes with
different view. It is comforting, refreshing, and something that gives you hope, a thing that makes us
going.
It is nice to have Gale actually, someone so much like you but at the end of the day, we all have this feeling that you wanted to detach yourself from the reality, you wanted to escape in your own body and having someone so much like you is too much.
I really do love Peeta, the boy who could do everything for the love of his life and wish that I could meet someone like him. Someone who could bring me hope in
the little but best possible ways. I love that Katniss choose him, that they are meant to be, and how fate turns to be.
I think I will still be in
Hunger Games world for a month, and hopefully I can survive without crying my eyes out once I re-read the books, and some fan fictions.
And the movie
also meet the right cast ^^ They are great and hilarious at the same time! :)
I hope the odds will be in our favor! :D
