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.
So here I am.
My theme is the A-Z of Scifi moves, I’ve not given this a great deal of thought and I know of a number but I won’t lie there’s some I will struggle with. I hope you enjoy them!
H is for The Hunger Games
Katniss volunteers to take her sisters place after she’s choses to take place in the annual Hunger Games after the 12 districts of Panem try and rebel against the ruling Government run by President Snow.As the 24 players are released, after a quick cull half are taken down then it’s up to Katniss to stay alive and become the last to survive.
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!
Science in Sci-Fi – Time Travel

Time, Space and the Universe as we know it – Part 2 Relative Motion
With all it’s vastness and complexity it’s taken a long time for humans to reach the understanding that we have of the universe that we have. This is the story of evolving understanding and how simplicity gives way to incredible truth’s that seems to sit at odds with how we think life should be… andContinue reading “Time, Space and the Universe as we know it – Part 2 Relative Motion”

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
