Capitol Fashion

    Capitol fashion is… well… interesting. The insanely bright and vivid colors, which beam from every individual in the capitol, are enough to cause a painful migraine for anyone not familiar with their style. Viewing a group of colorful Capitol citizens, with their bizarre attire and overwhelming makeup, is like viewing a gallery of Lady Gaga outfits. This vivid style is, of course, in complete and direct contrast to the subdued, grayish brown look that District 12 displays; and this massive contrast really communicates the difference between the two groups of people.

Stephen King Reviews The Hunger Games

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20419951_20223443,00.html

    I am sure we all know who Stephen King is. He sold over 350 million copies of his books total; many books that have since been turned into feature films; ring a bell yet? It is definitely really interesting to see the opinions of The Hunger Games novel by such a successful author.

    Stephen King leaves a well-written and sort of humorous review. He talks about the character of Katniss while also making fun of her name. He also mentions how many clichés exist within the themes of the novel. Lastly, he touches on some of, what he calls, “authorial laziness;” poking fun at her use of the sponsor parachutes within the games.

    Though King pokes fun at a number of the book’s elements, he also describes it as addictive and full of constant suspense. He states that he will be interested in reading the book’s sequels, and gives the book a high rating of a B.

    This is definitely a review worth reading. If you want to hear the insight of an amazing author, then click the link above!

Jennifer Lawerence... BULLIED!?

   Surprise! Shocking as it sounds, actress Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen, the main protagonist in the Hunger Games, talks about being bullied in her younger years. The issue, being a genuine problem sweeping across the nation, has been brought to attention by young adolescents such as Jennifer. She speaks about how she was only 14 years old and dropped out of school due to bullies. However, since then Jennifer explains, if she had the chance to spare a few words to her younger self, her advice would be, "don’t worry about the b*****s. When you look back and see how much time you spent trying to get people to like you and trying to dress cool, you realize it doesn’t matter.” As true to her fictional character, Jennifer gives inspiration through her strength and confidence, and proves to be successful.
