What will become of the Districts and of President Snow? Q: First time of reading the Hunger Games series what was your reaction towards it? “I loved the stories, they were fantastic! I liked how it’s set in the future, but not so far in the future that it doesn’t seem realistic.” Said Ms. Given. What Valerie Cortez had to say was, “I thought it was really cool, I liked it.” Q: Did you expect for the Hunger Games series to become this popular and turned into movies? “No I didn’t, but I’m really glad that it did. I’m really happy that it has become really successful.” Said Ms. Given. Valerie Cortez had a different opinion. “Yes, because a lot of people were reading it and it seemed a really big series.”

Q: What are your expectations to come from Mockingjay Part 1? “I would like to see more of the internal politics and the internal story, because it’s such a disparity between all the differences of the districts, so I’m really interested to see if they go into more about the difference in the districts” said Ms Givens. “I think for it to have a lot of action in it, its going to be intense” said Valerie Cortez. Q: Are you a Gale or Peeta fan? “Hmm… that’s tough. It’s not like Twilight that there’s team Edward and team Jacob,” said Ms. Givens. “I’m a Peeta fan.” Said Valerie Cortez

So, I’m wondering how its going to portray onto her,” said Ms. Givens.
