Description MOCKINGJAY SPOILERS.My children, who take the words of the song for granted:
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise

Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where i love you
My children, who don't know they play on a graveyard.
....it's like a game. Repetitve Even a little tedious...but there are much worse games to play.

Okay, so i just finished Mockingjay and i have to say im a little upset cause i liked Gale but whatever. i found this part of the book just stunning and this was the result. Yes, it was edited in Picnik. What kinda ticks me off is the girl is supposed to have dark hair and the boy curly blonde hair but i just figured that out now so whatever. and why yes, her dress is rather Alice In Wonderland-ish. i know the little kid looks weird but i don't draw...little people. XD And frankly i could care less if those skeletons are anatomically correct (i know they're not) . i improvised. enjoy!

I like the touch of the skeletons. It reminds me of Pompeii and how they are forever in the position they died. And for saying you don't draw little people, you drew Katniss's son very well. And I like how carefree her daughter looks.

I recently finished Mockingjay the other night. And wow. The ending was so different from any other book I've read. It was a bitter sweet one. A twisted happy ending. (Spoilers) Yeah, they're free and have children, but Peeta has his attacks and Katniss her nightmares, and District 12 is like the ostracized and is there for Katniss because she's insane. But I don't think I could view Hunger Games with a bright happy ending. It leaves you with a "Real or Not Real" sensation.

very true. It would seem a little off to give it an ending like that, considering the books themselves aren't bright and happy. well said. and thanks for the compliments on my little people...i'm working on them

I wish that Suzzanne Collins had done this better. I like how it ended, but it seemed like she wrote the scene at the last minute, just rushed it through and put no thought into it. I wish she'd described Katniss and Peeta's life in a bit more detail, described their kids, told us more of what happened to the other characters. The epilogue just seemed half-hearted to me.

I know. I hated how Gale left and you never saw him again. I know I got the kids a little backwards but... i thought the very ending, the ending like, paragraph was pure genius but other than that...i thought that whole book was just a let down. too depressing. Way to kill off all my favorite characters >.>

hehe, indeed. creepy, weird, but enticing all the same, just like the books. not to say i'm full of my drawing...cause i'm sure it doesn't entice anyone...but it is creepy.
