Hunger Games Discussion

B lunch is having a lively discussion about Hunger Games. We are trying to decide whether we like Peeta or Gale and which one we think Katniss should end up with. Most are in favor of Gale, but a few of us really like Peeta. Guess we can't find out what Katniss decides until Collins writes the sequel--supposed to be out in September. We can hardly wait! In the meantime, here are our questions for this week:

1. What do you think was the inspiration for the Hunger Games? One review says it has ties to Rome. What do you think?
2. What do you think of Cinna?

Twilight


A lunch is reading the book Twilight. True, some of the girls had already read the book, but it was the only book that the majority of the group wanted to read. So, with one exception, we are reading Twilight. We were able to get the cover showing the movie poster picture. Those who have seen the movie feel that the book is much better than the movie (although they really liked the movie)


We are going to post a couple of questions each week for discussion. Here are the first questions for group response.


1. What is the significance of the title "Twilight?"
2. Can you identify with Bella's thoughts and actions throughout the book? Why or why not?
