A thought after watching Catching Fire

Posted by Wesley on
A fiery pawn
The story of The Hunger Games is essentially about a teenage protagonist that accidentally set the chain of revolution into action in an oppressive government. The sobering part of it is that, even though she's essential to the whole process, she's ultimately a political pawn that are tossed around by both the government and the rebels for their own end.

She does not really understand what's happening around her. I wonder if we aren't, either.
