A Q&A with Suzanne Collins, Author of Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games)
Q: You have said from the start that The Hunger Games story was intended as a trilogy. Did it genuinely end the means by which you planned it in the beginning?

A: Very much so. While I did not know every detail, of course, the arc in the story from gladiator game, to revolution, to war, for the eventual outcome remained constant through the writing process.

Q: We understand you worked for the initial screenplay to get a film to become based on The Hunger Games. What may be the biggest difference between writing a novel and writing a screenplay?

A: There were several significant differences. Time, for starters. When you're adapting a novel into a two-hour movie you can not take everything with you. The story has being condensed to fit the newest form. Then there's the question of methods best to look at a magazine told inside first person and provides tense and transform it in a satisfying dramatic experience. In the novel, you won't ever leave Katniss for the second and so are privy to any or all of her thoughts so you need a strategy to dramatize her inner world and to produce it possible for other characters to exist outside her company. Finally, there is the challenge of the way to present the violence while still maintaining a PG-13 rating so that your core audience can view it. A great deal of things are acceptable over a page that wouldn't be on a screen. But wait, how certain moments are depicted will ultimately be in the director's hands.

Q: Have you been in a situation to consider future projects while working on The Hunger Games, or are you immersed inside world you might be currently creating so fully that it is simply too difficult to take into consideration new ideas?

A: I have several seeds of ideas boating during my head but--given a whole lot of of my focus remains on The Hunger Games--it is going to be awhile before one fully emerges and I can begin to develop it.

Q: The Hunger Games is an annual televised event in which one boy then one girl from each in the twelve districts is forced to participate in the fight-to-the-death on live TV. What can you imagine the benefit of reality television is--to both kids and adults?

A: Well, they're often setup as games and, like sporting events, there's an fascination with seeing who wins. The contestants are often unknown, which means they are relatable. Sometimes they've got very talented people performing. Then you have the voyeuristic thrill—watching people being humiliated, or taken to tears, or suffering physically--which I've found very disturbing. There's also the possibility for desensitizing the audience, so that when they see real tragedy playing out on, say, the news, it won't contain the impact it should.

Q: In the wedding you were made to compete inside Hunger Games, so what can you imagine your personal skill would be?

A: Hiding. I'd be scaling those trees like Katniss and Rue. Since I had been trained in sword-fighting, I guess my best hope can be to have hold of the rapier if there were one available. But the truth is I'd probably get in relation to a four in Training.

Q: What can you hope readers will come away with when they read The Hunger Games trilogy?

A: Questions about how elements of the books may be relevant inside their own lives. And, when they are disturbing, what you might do about them.

Q: What were some of the favorite novels when you're a teen?

A: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
Lord from the Flies by William Golding
Boris by Jaapter Haar
Germinal by Emile Zola
Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

Gr 7 Up–The final installment of Suzanne Collins's trilogy sets Katniss in one more Hunger Game, but now it's for world control. While it is really a clever twist for the original plot, it indicates that there's less focus around the individual characters and much more on political intrigue and large scale destruction. That said, Carolyn McCormick will continue to breathe life into a less vibrant Katniss by showing her despair both at those she feels in charge of killing and and at her own motives and choices. This is definitely an older, wiser, sadder, and intensely reluctant heroine, torn between revenge and compassion. McCormick captures these conflicts by changing the pitch and pacing of Katniss's voice. Katniss is both a pawn of the rebels as well as the victim of President Snow, who uses Peeta to make an attempt to control Katniss. Peeta's struggles are well evidenced in his voice, which goes from rage to puzzlement to an unsure go back to sweetness. McCormick also makes the secondary characters—some malevolent, others benevolent, and many confused—very real with distinct voices and agendas/concerns. She acts like an outside chronicler in giving listeners just “the facts” but also respects the individuality and unique challenges of each one in the main characters. A successful completion of the monumental series.–Edith Ching, University of Maryland, College Parkα(c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
