ReplyDeleteTHE HUNGER GAMES…
ReplyDelete-Suzanne Collins.
Centuries after the destruction of America, a country called Panem rises. A country constituting thirteen districts and a capital called the ‘Capitol’. There is a monarchy type of government where the Capitol rules over the other districts. Each district is known for the particular job they do. District thirteen, known for nuclear energy and weapons production was completely wiped out by the Capitol for rebelling leaving twelve districts behind. The Capitol conducts a particular form of entertainment, where a girl and a boy are sent from each district to compete in the ‘Hunger Games’, a cruel game where twenty-four participants, two from each district, go into the arena and only one survives to be crowned as the victor. In the seventy-fourth Hunger Games, from district twelve, for the first time in the history of The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to save her sister from the wrath these games could create. She is accompanied by Peeta Mellark, the boy tribute from twelve, Haymitch, their mentor and the only surviving victor from twelve and Effie Trinket the chaperone. They’re sent in front of the crowd in a costume projecting artificial flames. Therefore naming Katniss ‘The girl on fire.’ But things take a turn when Peeta declares his undying love for Katniss during their individual interviews. While Katniss kills with finesse, Collins writes in a quick breeze…

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power, the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring, the ring that rules them all, which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
There's no salvation for a fantasy fan who hasn't read the gospel of the genre. The influence of The Lord of the Rings is so universal that everybody from George Lucas to Led Zeppelin has appropriated it for one purpose or another. Not just revolutionary because it was groundbreaking, The Lord of the Rings is timeless because it's the product of a truly top-shelf mind. Tolkien was a distinguished linguist and Oxford scholar of dead languages with strong ideas about the importance of myth and story and a deep appreciation of nature. His epic, 10 years in the making, recounts the Great War of the Ring and the closing of Middle-Earth's Third Age, a time when magic begins to fade from the world and men rise to dominance. Tolkien carefully details this transition with tremendous skill and love, creating in The Lord of the Rings a universal and all-embracing tale, a justly celebrated classic.
