Hunger is no Game!!

I thought Hunger Game was the second best book we've read in for this class. I think it was a easy read an it was very attention grabbing. I think that the author was very detailed creating each scene for you making sure you fully understand whats going on. I think that this book ties in well with other conversations we've had in class in the form of not having your own voice. Like in past conversations a lot of what we talk about is how we fall subject to being of the world and acting the same as everyone else. I think in Hunger Games everyone follows the way of life that the Capitol has formed just because it seems right or because its just the normal. Everyone in each District has their own mind and their own thoughts on whats right from wrong but they are frightened as to what consequences will be given for having their own opinion. When really if one individual would stand out most likely others will come front starting a movement or at least showing the Capitol that things must change.
I choose this link because I think it ties right in with Hunger Games!!!

Basketball Wives

Reality usually is never true reality. I think that when on a reality show these people act the way they do, but are asked to take it to further extremes. The show I chose to talk about is Basketball Wives, as you might have guessed its a show about the lives of women who are married or have been married to basketball players. The show is always filled with drama which is why its such a popular reality show. How they live seems pretty up to par with how you'd visualize a basketball wife to live, but the way they treat one another is what makes you think sometimes are they really going through this or is it just hyped up for tv. Within the show there isn't to much competition but they do all strive to look their best at all times. The two wives who start the most problems on this show are Jen an Evelyn where ever they are most likely drama comes about. Here's a prime example of  them scheming how to cause more drama http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/610926/not-invited.jhtml#id=1655399
the first time I saw that i though is this really how they act or do they have to spice it up for tv because as grown women with children would u really be that concerned that you weren't invited to and event that u have to go as far as trying to crash and event. Its a bit childish and questionable. Although I question its reality at times I still love watching it, so I guess I'm a valuable piece to the "game."
