  1. Very interesting Biography on Suzanne Collins. However you could have talked a bit more of her life, for example where does she live/ how did she grow up and all of those details

    2. One night, Collins was surfing through reality TV programmes and found one with a group of young teenagers competing in something, and then the next was a group of young men and women fighting in an actual war. Although she was really tired, these two channels really blended in together and that was how The Hunger Games whole story came to her and inspired her to write this series.
