Surbhi, will you look at this. Our blog has come to an end! I really learned to love these books, I think they will remain some of my favorites for a long time. They have great values inside of them. In the Hunger Games, fame and fortune is sought after like it is the only important thing in the world. It is not that, a quote in The Hunger Games says, “Winning means fame and fortune.Losing means certain death.The Hunger Games have begun…” This quote almost seems to make fun of it all, that you shouldn't trust it. The Hunger Games also shows how to be your own person. How to be an individual. Someone who values their personal morals. Peeta says a a great quote in The Hunger Games, "Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games." Peeta isn't going to let himself be owned by the government. And he's not going to let anyone tell him who he is going to be. He told Katniss in The Hunger Games that he wasn't going to kill anyone. He wasn't going to let the capitol corupt him, and he didn't let them. He accidently killed Foxface with the berries, but the capitol didn't force him to do that.
In Harry Potter, everyone loves Dumbeldore, and I believe the readers are influenced by him too. So I think when he says a great statement, people will listen. In chapter twelve of Harry Potter Dumbeldore says, "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." This is a great quote, and I believe that people will live by this. Also, it talks about the names of things. A lot of powerfull figures in history, the modern world, and pop culture are all based on names. But Harry Potter says that should not be the case, JK Rowling wrote, "Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself." I feel that this is important. These books do not deserve to be banned! Just read the rest of the blog posts, these books have great morals and themes. These books could change the world.
