Day 2 of Sunrise on the Reaping Conversation!
I started off today’s three Placeholder Posts with one for Day of Publication readers to share all the parallels they saw between the second Hunger Games prequel and first novel in the series, The Hunger Games. Katniss’s first trip to the Capitol and Haymitch’s years earlier seem to have a whole lot in common, eerily so.
The second Placeholder post today invited readers to re-visit Catching Fire‘s Quarter Quell video that Peeta and Katniss watch on their way to the Capitol for the second Games in as many years to spot all the differences between what we were told happened in Haymitch’s first Games and what we learn in Sunrise actually happened.
Today’s third Post, as you might expect, is a place for Sunrise readers to share the many echoes they hear in the second prequel of the second and third Hunger Games novels, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. It turns out Haymitch Abernathy met most of his friends that Katniss and Peeta meet in the Third Quarter Quell arena on his first trip to the Capitol. Surprise!
Please share your list of Catching Fire and Mockingjay’s cast of characters that gave you an ‘Oh, My!’ thrill of recognition in Sunrise at the Reaping and your first thoughts about the Pearl Plot’s likelihood, that Haymitch is the Master Gamesmaker of the Mockingjay Revolution…
More tomorrow!
