My thoughts on the issues that bother:<br />The "good guys" are very, very full of hatred and hurt, and seem to be more focused on revenge than actual justice, which I can see as a very plausible turn of events, though I did end up quite despising a certain male character because of it... Though Katniss seems to do a remarkable job remembering the humanity of the enemy.<br />Moral decision making is lacking strength and substance in many instances because it is set in a world without any mention of a Deity/purpose in life. In that respect, it reminded me very much of a pre-Christian world, one which might resemble that of the Greeks and Romans devoid of their "gods". Overall, I found the story to be a good example of how one does not need religion in order to know right from wrong and the basics of the natural law, a truth which many in our society forget or overlook.<br />What struck me in particular was Katniss saying she was never going to get married, because she didn't want to raise children in such a world.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013142402527598378noreply@blogger.com
