They didn't see each other anymore, so basically nothing really happened. I don't know, the way he acted was a pretty good closure in my opinion :-/

I always try to see the good part about anything. And I still don't like that they don't speak and see each other anymore without even saying goodbye. but that is probably my opinion

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude! I know you know it was the ending, I meant, that her getting kids is a typical way of ending a book. In her case it might not be too typical, but as you never really get to read what being a mother and a wife does to her, I don't think of it as character development. Placed at and as the ending of the book, it is not meant to be either. Character development is not one sentence or one scene to me. Jake had nice character development in Avatar as well - becoming someone different, but someone who's still related to the person he was before. It was lovely to see how he reflected on his values and wishes as soon as he was in the forest the first time. Hope you understood all that ^^

I wasn't offende (ahh okay, a little bit ) but nothing to worrie about. Now I know what you mean

I know what you mean...I feel the same way about Avatar. It gives you the illusion of a place, which is so much better than ours. That is out of debate. And Neytiri is definitely a very unique being that combines so many different layers and values in one person. She's simply fascinating, maybe because she's so different to any human woman.
Katniss on the other hand, I very strongly believe she exists in reality as well And her world, well I really don't want to live there
To me it always feels (if the movie/book is really good) like you just met a person and got to know her/him and when the movie or the book is over it's like he/she is leaving again. That's the reason why that feeling you had watching/reading it for the very first time will never come back.
I do believe that those kind of people/girls do exist on earth as well. They're just hiding very well between all the dumbasses.

I would go to pandora and neytiri for sure, however the reason why I like the hunger games trilogy so much is because it is on earth. it is having a higher change to exist instead of pandora. However Like I said I like katniss because I feel the same as she did sometimes (probably not that bad) however the things she does, I'm almost sure that I would do the same. thinking "let me die here" was almost exact the same tought as I had sometimes. And she loves nature, this all and even more is why... <3

Me too, but in this case, I didn't like how Gale decided to handle things with Katniss, so, no, I don't really miss any interaction between them But I know what you mean

Okay, um, don't get me wrong, but I gotta ask this question: Do you really want a world like it's portrayed in the Hunger Games to exist in reality?

I felt the same - Katniss is very easy to connect to, ironically, as it's been showed differently in the books ^^. But yes, I totally understand where you're coming from. I feel the same way. Especially when the longing she feels is described for the forest and wanting to hunt...I understood her really well. As well as the fact that she has no idea what's going on inside of her when it comes to Gale and Peeta XD. I loved that part - it's like, come on, there are more important things at stake at the moment, who has time for that!

That is opinion, I know gale also had a hard time with losing katniss so I can understand it a little bit

Sorry

No probs bro

No not at all, I don't want to life in districts with a gate around it. But I was meaning that katniss is a human and neytiri is a na'vi. in that way having a higher change of existing.

that "connecting" to katniss is as outsider really easy. However if she accepts you is a second. Because what you said she is having a really hard time with finding out what is going on in her.

Yeah, ok, I give up - you're right on that ^^

But I was meaning that katniss is a human and neytiri is a na'vi. in that way having a higher change of existing.

Got it. So, you're basically longing for a chance of them to exist in reality?

that "connecting" to katniss is as outsider really easy. However if she accepts you is a second. Because what you said she is having a really hard time with finding out what is going on in her.

Exactly that accepting part on her side intrigues me about her. She doesn't love or like people lightly. She doesn't take human connection and feelings lightly. She values, respects and thinks about whom to give part of herself to and to trust. I like that quality, very much.
Neytiri does the same.
And I don't believe that Katniss is like that only because she doesn't know what's going on inside herself.

Just finished '1q84' by Haruki Murakami and am now rereading 'The Wind-up Bird Chronicle' again...no one does it better than him...

[Ja'k Dawsiin]

just finished 'Seven Deadly Wonders' by Matthew Reilly,and now starting on the second of two sequels,'The Six Sacred Stones',and the third over the summer,'The Five Greatest Warriors'. it's a mix of old-school greek and eygptian mythology,lara croft-style adventure,action,mixed in with some political intrigue,spies,and end of the world stuff,even some interstellar alien visitation thrown in the mix. fun summer reading.


oh yeah...the americans and chinese are BOTH the bad guys in this trilogy. heh heh!

[-Mi'niri-]

@Ja'k
I think the only thing missing from that collection is romance XD

1q84 by Murakami btw, has two storylines that seem disconnected at first - the only thing that unites them is the fact that the main characters of each are entering a parallel universe per accident. It makes you question your own reality at several moments and it has the most amazing lovestory ever in my mind, plus some really creepy and simply weird stuff going on. Frankly it's not a book for everyone and it certainly isn't the one to start with Murakami. But for those who know him - it's abso-f*****-lutely awesome

Seriously started 1984 by Orwell the other day - so far it's only vomit-inducing how close we've gotten to that kind of utopia he envisioned so many, many years ago. Let's see.

On final approach with “Dance of Dragons” by George RR Martin. It’s been a lot of reading and a fun journey. Found out yesterday, this isn’t the last book in the series…I’m going to go blind.

[-Mi'niri-]

bb, book-blindness, has happened to me again and again - when the book was so completely worth it, it is the best thing/feeling ever ^^
I'm jealous of you porthos, as my trilogy just ended :(

[tm20]

today i got The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, it's really interesting. I hardly ever read, but when I read 4 chapters into a book within a few hours then I can guarantee you it's a good read
