the worst part about the stereotype that young people are lazy is that it makes so much of our work seem invalid. i know so many kids who have 6+ hours of homework a day, do sports/extracurricular activities, have jobs, get less than 5 hours of sleep a night from studying, and still get dismissed as being lazy just cause their room isn’t clean

I used to get fucking straight A’s and everyone still joked about how lazy I was because I was too depressed to keep my room clean. I’m still furious about that.

One of the more subtle but biggest takeaways for me from SROTR is how the wealth inequality is portrayed. District 12 doesn’t seem as poor, the capital doesn’t seem as rich. I know others have commented on this, but to me it read as an obvious commentary on “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”.

What’s striking to me is what this implies about Katniss’s parents, specifically Asterid. The gap between the Seam and Town is still very present, but daily conditions in the Seam are described very differently by Katniss and Haymitch.

For Haymitch, life is hard for folks, but there’s no talk of people dropping dead from starvation. Whereas, for Katniss, she describes this as a real danger and likelihood multiple times. There’s a possibility that it still occurs as broadly during SROTR, but the exclusion seems purposeful on Suzanne’s part.

Anyway, I couldn’t stop thinking about Asterid and how, when she chose to leave Town for the Seam, it wasn’t the same “death sentence” that it would become in Katniss’s books. I don’t think this makes Burdock and her love any less meaningful, but it made her loss even more impactful.

When he dies, she’s left poorer and more vulnerable than when she married him, and she’s left without the life partner that would have made it all bearable. Ouch.
