Cinna

When Cinna was first introduced, he was described as the most normal person, compared to the initial three stylists provided for Katniss who had bleached coloured skin and abnormal fashion senses compared to the poor peasants in her district, District 12.

Throughout the first book, second book and the final book, Cinna played a big part of Katniss' success in both Hunger Games and the final battle in the Capitol, starting off with his beautiful design of setting both Katniss and Peeta on fire to represent their district of mining for coal to burn. In addition to this, the main reason for the success was when he told them to hold hands, showing team work for the first time before the Hunger Games actually began, whereas the other districts' tributes did not show any sign of staying together, which contributed to the story of their forbidden love.

After that, the costumes for the victory tour were described as magnificent and fabulous. Then, Katniss and Peeta were forced to continue their fake love after they attempted - and succeeded - in cheating the Hunger Games, so they prepared for a wedding. However, they announced the Quarter Quell as a game of all the victors, causing their wedding to be cancelled, but President Snow still insisted for Katniss to wear her wedding dress in her interview with Caesar, the much loved reporter throughout all the games. When she was ordered to spin in her newly altered wedding dress by Cinna, she transformed into a Mockingjay, posing a rebellion symbol to all those watching her.

Due to this, just before she was released into her last Hunger Game, she was forced to witness Cinna's cruel beating and being dragged away, in order to attempt to affect her negatively in the game, in hope that she would not make the victor again.

And that was the last time Cinna was ever saw, even though his sketch pad of amazing designs popped up again after Katniss agreed to become the Mockingjay, a special request from him. This convinced Katniss that it was the right choice to become the rebel's Mockingjay, as Cinna was always right about his thoughts and he was right, in a way, but the wrong side that could be seen was not mentioned in the book, clearly to leave a good image for Cinna, which succeeded as I believe everyone who read the Hunger Games loves Cinna as much as I do~

Beginning the story...

...Katniss caught everybody's attention when she volunteered for the Hunger Games in place of her beloved little sister, Prim. Then, it appears that Peeta had loved Katniss already, so when he was picked, I wonder what he thought...? He probably thought that they would never be able to be a couple, although he most likely only ever wished to watch her from the shadows as it seems like he loved her from when they first met with the bread story.

Just imagining his love for Katniss and how he must have felt at that moment breaks my heart... He must have thought of the idea of a forbidden love already, but I guess he never could have thought that he would end up with Katniss.


Once he was picked for the Hunger Games, he had thought of his life as over, so all he had been doing ever since was protecting Katniss to the best of his ability but never wishing for more.


Aww... his loyalty to Katniss is just too sweet~~~

Introduction

This is a blog about the trilogy 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. A wonderful book with a gripping and ever so clever storyline portrayed brilliantly with Collins' much favoured writing style.

I am a very big fan of the HG and after I finished reading it, there were so many things I said and wanted to carry on discussing with my friends that it was never ending, so I decided to make a blog, babbling about the awesomeness of the book as well as analysing certain characters and certain situations and how the book could never really have a perfect ending.


My blog will contain spoilers for those who have not read it all, so read it all and return! Nonetheless, I hope my waffling and biased opinion on certain characters will not dishearten you to read more.


Comments and additional information are appreciated.
