But what about the underlying plotline&#8211;theme and meaning? What about Katniss&#8217;s personal quest?

		<description><![CDATA[The St. Patrick’s Day riot in London, Ontario seems to lack an inciting incident. Some people got drunk and behaved badly; more joined in. There was no reason for it&#8211;no social injustice, no poverty or hunger. So why did ordinary people riot? What makes someone suddenly throw a brick at a police officer or torch a van? <a href="http://dianetullson.com/wp/?p=351#more-351'" class="more-link">more...</a>]]></description>

It was about hundreds and hundreds of people on the street, fueled by anger and mayhem. Ordinary people threw bricks and overturned cars. Ordinary people looted. <a href="http://dianetullson.com/wp/?p=310#more-310'" class="more-link">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everything is poetry—that’s a line from Nikki Tate’s new book, Fallout, published by Orca Book Publishers. Tara’s sister killed herself by stepping in front of a bus. Tara puts a keen steel edge to her grief in the form of spoken-word poetry—the novel is part wiry narration, part poetry.

		<description><![CDATA[Conflict is good. Conflict forces change. In story, it’s a character’s inner conflict that compels the character to face the wreckage of their lives, learn something from it, and go forward. Frodo, Harry, Katniss: they face their inner villains. It’s what makes them heroes. This self-discovery defines the good guys—bad guys just never learn.  In <a href="http://dianetullson.com/wp/?p=291#more-291'" class="more-link">more...</a>]]></description>
