Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Can it be aruged that Twilight made it cool for teenage girls to read again and thus pave the way for the popularity of the Hunger Games?
I know Harry Potter was incredibly influential in making reading awesome again, but it seems since Twilight there has been an influx of Young Adult books aimed at Teenage Girls. Yes, I know there was Judy Blume in the 70s and such, who wrote books geared toward the age group, but it kind of tapered off. Am I wrong?
PS. This is for a paper I’m writing. Opinions are much appreciated.
Also, I’m not saying Twilight is good literature, I’m simply saying it’s popular and many of the same people who read Twilight and still line up for the movies at midnight, read the Hunger Games and were at the movie (and even more former Twilight fans have ditched it in favor of HG).
Gary Ross not directing Catching Fire
I’m bummed about this. I I like stylistic continuity with movie series. My biggest complaint about the Harry Potter movies were how different they were from each other. Different people have different interpretations of the work, and I like it when each movie has the same interpretation all the way through.
The only one who understands me
Me: *shows mom the degree frame I just bought*
Mom: Nice. What kind of wood is that?
Me: Mahogany! *giggles*
Mom: ...
Me: ...never mind
Brother: *Bangs fist on table* That is MAHOGANY! *high fives me*
He was so wonderful in this scene. “Do I smell like roses to you?”

The Hunger Games: A Review
My slightly spoilerish review of the movie.
Safe and Sound-Taylor Swift (Ft. Civil War), from The Hunger Games Soundtrack
I don’t know what I think about this. I like the sound and I do like Taylor Swift, but I don’t associate Taylor Swift with something like the Hunger Games. She’s all innocence and butterflies and young pure love. Hunger Games is not.
The Hunger Games-March 2012
Hmmm.
