Charley passing the ball to Wally so he could score the winning touchdown the way he couldn't 40 years ago... Wally punching Mr. Manfredo so he couldn't hurt Rhonda... all of them pulling Charley through the vending machine so he knew he was loved... Wally pulling Maddie up from drowning... im so emotional over this
I was supposed to read for my literature class but draw this instead.
It's been a while since I was that proud of anything I created so I thought I would post it here.
This is the reference I used (David Bowie, My beloved).
I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate
So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool
I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”
