This doesn't have much to with school, but, since I love The Hunger Games, I wanted to ask if it will evolve into a movie?

As much as I'd absolutely love to see this series become a
movie, I can't imagine it could do any justice to the
book. 


There are plenty of movies that incorporate first
person narrative [think Fight Club], so I don't think the first person narrative will be
the problem.  I think that the problem lies in how well the idea is presented.  This is
a problem I think the SyFy channel demonstrates VERY well.  Many of their original
programs are...creative to say the least, but often so poorly executed in dialouge and
set design [which is to some degree understandable, they're not made of money] that most
people keep flipping the channel.  I think if made into a movie, The Hunger Games would
only attract a very small audience and probably won't make enough money to balance out
Hollywood checkbooks.  Now, if THG had a cult following like the Twilight series, I'm
sure enough screaming preteens could rally a movie, but alas, THG isn't as popular
[which I find gastly].


My personal opinion is, I'd rather
keep THG in my mind and heart than see them forced and butchered by low budget and bad
acting on the big screen.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
