I never read the hunger games as a teen and in a way I'm glad because this my current age really allows me to appreciate the themes and just how heavy these topics are. These books, tho several years old ring true and is a prefect mirror to how our society. 

Katniss is a wonderful lead, just a teen forced into a system designed to break her, trust into the role of rebellion image because she's herself. She's not a chosen one, there is no story from 500 years ago which foretells coming and her being the straw that breaks the Capitol's back, these things happens because of who Katniss is.

Catching fire really teaches us that you can't break a system from within

, even tho the victors join hands in unison and try to play on Capitol Citizen's emotions, it still turns into blood bath, even with the plan to get Katniss and Peeta(?) to 13.

The only way to damage a hostile and broken system is via violence and/or an external force

as seen with the rebels from 13

I can rant all day. All I have to say is no notes!
