I’ve always wondered by Suzanne Collin’s never went into detail about Coriolanus’ mom. All we know is that Mrs. Snow had long brown hair and she smelled like roses. It took me a but of pondering to realize how genius it is for Suzanne to keep it secret. 1. The book is from Coriolanus’ perspective, and since his mother died sometime before the war, he must’ve been 5 at the oldest. 2. Mrs. Snow is one of the most key points of betrayal in the film, when Lucy gray uses her shawl to trick Coriolanus. 3. Coriolanus doesn’t trust Lucy Gray enough for her to know his mother’s name. She was so dear to him, one of the only things we as readers determine, that he actually loved. The one person Coriolanus was vulnerable about was his mother. And 4. We know his father’s name (Crassus) because that’s who he was. Coriolanus states that he’s sure he loved his father, but he never really knew him. No one did. Crassus wasn’t his father, he was just ‘Crassus Snow’.

HE SAYS THE SYNTAX IS CHOPPY AND IT DISRUPTS THE FLOW. The reason it's "choppy" is because it's mimicking what it's like to actually be inside Katniss's head, you silly boy. And plus it shows how she's short and straight to the point. She doesn't elaborate on unnecessary things, because you don't usually do that when you're thinking in your head, do you? I'm rambling so much I know, but if you do try to criticize THG to me I'll go crazy. If the story were told in third person or even first person past tense, then I would understand the irritation of the shortness of the syntax. But it's supposed to be what's happening RIGHT IN THAT VERY MOMENT, and what exactly is running through her mind. So there. Okay I'm done ranting good night everyone.

I am so disappointed that when Katniss is singing Rue to "sleep" they don't let her get to the part where she says "Here is the place where I love you."
