Document Summary
About the hunger games: transcending genre, audience, typical types, tyical themes, reimagining typical by focusing on the present. About suzanne collins: personal, pre-school animation writing, the underland chronicles, the year of the jungle, daughter of air force pilot. Collins: "if we introduce kids to these ideas earlier, we could get a dialogue about war going earlier and possibly it would lead to more solutions," she says. "i just feel it isn"t discussed, not the way it should be. I think that"s because it"s uncomfortable for people. I know from my experience that we are quite capable of understanding things and processing them at an early age. " (a&e networks: father"s experience (west point, vietnam, long family history of military service) Many of collins"s fans surely see the hunger games through this prism (one children"s-bookstore owner told me the books would be a good tool for teachers broaching the subject of popularity).
