Story

Just a quick note on the Career tributes and districts:

Districts 1, 2, and 4 are favorites of Capitol. Kids in them train for the Games from a very young age, and a large proportion of the winners are from the Career districts. It's a way the Capitol keeps the districts divided -- those whose children are able to train have far more survivors, and it creates resentment from those whose children don't train.

I'm guessing that the brunette from District 3 is Lois Lane.

Me, too.

I have no knowledge about Hunger Games, but I'm following the story and getting the gist of it. They have a scary prospect ahead of them. And Clark has the additional possibility of stumbling upon kryptonite. What does he intend to do? He can't be killed (unless there's kryptonite involved) and he doesn't kill. Can there be more than one winner or do they have to fight until there's just one left?

Hi Andreia,

The idea is that there is supposed to be a single survivor.

In the movie the Capitol's hand was forced when the two finalists, who had been promised that they would both be allowed to live, had the promise withdrawn so they threatened to commit suiside leaving no winner. Capitol backed down allowing both to live.

That is where the ultimate quandry will come in. Clark wants to protect Becky and now Lois is involved. With Kryptonite in the picture even his survival can be in question. Also, don't forget about Trask. He could also stick his ugly nose in.

There are so many ways Anne can go with this story it is mind boggling.

I don't know if you've read the books, but it's the same in the books. Snow was very unhappy with them and that led to a lot of the events in book 2 with Snow actively looking for a reason to get rid of them. Fun. I'll bet that with the addition of Lois and Clark, things are going to go very differently in this one.

Oh! Sorry I finally got around to writing this comment.

Poor thing! Imagine knowing that you are too weak and sickly to compete in the games. Knowing your life is ticking away. This child should be in school, not fighting for her life in the games. What a revolting government the Capitolites are!

Lois!

With valid reason....
