Able Quote by Suzanne Collins
“Something keeps me moving forward, though. A lifetime of watching the Hunger Games lets me know that certain areas of the arena are rigged for certain attacks. And that if I can just get away from this section, I might be able to move out of reach of the launchers. I might also then fall straight into a pit of vipers, but I can't worry about that now.”

![“When you read a book [The Hunger Games], you create that tonal bandwidth. You set a tone for yourself, as you're reading it, in which everything exists within the world of your imagination. In the book, it's great when she can push a button and food comes up, as per your order.” quote by Nina Jacobson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/91a/nina-jacobson-8759_bandwidth_when-you-read-a-book-the-hunger-games-yo_1333492.jpg)
