@Brieyonce It’s so frustrating because I think Kennedy is an amazing author, buy she’s heavy on the “black excellence” trope. Black women can make mistakes, be the aggressor, do something wrong, not have a great job and still be worthy of a love story.
@lucygraykatniss “aside from MAKING SURE she escaped a bomb”. You’re forgetting he goes to save her again during the attack in 13. Susan makes it clear across the trilogy he’s a dutiful character. Katniss didn’t have to ask, because he had already promised to take care of them.
Gale is the only non-familial character the book gives context for loving Prim independently, and not just by relation to Katniss. He would NEVER risk her life.
Which is why Coin withheld him. Like some of you act like you didn’t read the books.
Actually there’s no proof at all that he did. He isn’t a monster, I’m sure he cared about her but in the end she was a means to an end to win Katniss over/to prove his dedication to Katniss. He didn’t care about her beyond how much he may have cared about another kid from 12
I had a friend with a Jewish mom and Christian dad. She was baptized and raised Christian. Only sent to Catholic schools, but somehow was still taught Judaism is the better religion …
Both sides love creating an identity crisis
i do believe that a jewish man who chooses to have children with a nonjewish woman and then tells the children they are as jewish as any jew is doing something that is borderline abusing your child
I’m finally seeing the dangers of “stan” culture. I read THG as a 7th grader in 2013 and the discourse now is absurd. Gale is not a character to be hated. That is not the intention of the book. Like we actually had to write assignments in class about this.
vocês odeiam o gale pq ele foi responsável pela morte de crianças da capital e da prim, eu odeio ele por ter despejado as próprias expectativas em cima da katniss durante uma guerra e cobrado sentimentos de uma adolescente traumatizada
e tudo bem pq o importante é odiar o gale!
@occidentanth Political ideology in the west hinders honey traps. State-sanctioned prostitution will not fly. That’s why they use middlemen and favour political leverage. Also Americans stick out like sore thumbs in other countries. They’re much easier to snuff out.
@funkomi People need to start walking with cash and round up. Or the person hosting the dinner needs to take responsibility for splitting the bill. Either way it doesn’t need to be split even, especially for a big group where some people don’t even know each other.
@funkomi I’ve lived in London, unless you’re going to a single owned business like a Turkish restaurant or something like that (and I’ve even seen some of them do it) they can split the bill, with the gratuity added to each person.
It’s actually not. That’s part of the risk of investing in the stock market. This is why they say don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Stocks are volatile and can be impacted by ANYTHING!
@MistressKlM@JDabknee I only mentioned her age because it makes her interest seem genuine. Both are rich, mature, have similar circles and shared culture. If she wasn’t a “spy”, it certainly would not have ruined his career or marriage. I think the wife already knew.
