Hi there bloggies, I’ve been seeing some post warning me of an A – Z Challenge and I was curious. I’ve seen this around before but have never participated, for some mad reason I thought I would give it a go.

Until the rules change and one other can survive.
Hunger games is great, with a huge cult following. The plot is simple, the strength of the story is in the characters, their own individual stories and what they will do to stay alive. Like a modern day Running Man this story is big on corrupt dystopian societies, the power of media and how it can corrupt and how far will a man go to keep power?
This was H – the odd one out. Now that’s done! Phew!
I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually…
In this series of posts I’m going to look at the human perspective and ask questions like ‘What does it mean to be human?’ or ‘How can I be a better Human?’ with a little sprinkling of ‘How can I be more comfortable as a human?’In this mad world we’ve been enduring especially over the…

Hunger Games totally rocks! But- whose team are you guys on? Gale or Peeta?? (Most of my friends in school chose Gale. I was rather upset…)
So THIS is your H post and a good choice at that! I read all the books and watched all the films too, although I did not quite agree with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. I thought the film adaptation of the books was pretty good, and didn’t shy away from the violence portrayed in the books.

How come you didn’t agree with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss?

I’ve always thought that Jennifer Lawrence looked a little too smug and when I read the books, that’s not the look I imagined Katniss would have
