The Girl Who Was on Fire: Read Along
Welcome to the DWTC’s Continuing Read Along for The Girl Who Was on Fire! We are so glad you are joining us on our journey.
Not familiar with The Girl Who was on Fire? The book, published by Smart Pop Books, is an anthology or collection of essays written by various authors about different aspects of The Hunger Games Trilogy. Some of the essays deal with politics, others with love, and still others on the themes of reality vs illusion. All are guaranteed to get you thinking even more about the series. Want to learn more about the anthology? You can check out our review of the book here.
The format is simple, in our read along pieces we have provided you with a summary of one of the thirteen essays published in the book. After each mini-review, there will be questions to think about and respond to. To join in the discussion simply comment at the end of each post. We hope to make this an active discussion of The Girl Who was on Fire and The Hunger Games as well.
There is one rule, please be respectful. Whether you are commenting about the author’s post or responding to another’s point, we ask that you do so in a constructive way, even if you do not agree. We want this to be a discussion, not an argument. =)
