    The Hunger Games

    No, if you're talking about the part where Johanna cuts the tracer out of her arm and onwards, definitely not. I was also really confused at that part, read it a couple of times because I didn't know whether Katniss was just in some blood-loss coma dream or something. Then when the head...

    The Hunger Games

    i agree with this. youngminii, i think it happens so quick to show us that rue is being prematurely ripped from the world. she just doesnt live long enough for character development. it shows how cruel the capitol are for taking pleasure in her death because they havent taken the time to see...

    The Hunger Games

    i tend to stick to the fantasy genre usually, magic, dragons, kings and queens, that type of thing. so it was a refereshing change of pace, it's definitely one of my favourite series. yeah, i read catching fire too. the whole District 13 conspiracy theory of an underground society and the...

    The Hunger Games

    okay, so i finished it today. before i read your post i didn't believe there would be any actual substance to it and i was proven wrong. thankyou for convincing me to read it, because it was brilliant. i rarely like a story's heroine, they're usually far too perfect. but katniss is great...

    The Hunger Games

    hmm, i wasn't gonna get this (due to said endorsement by stephenie meyer, though don't forget stephen king also praised it) but after your description, maybe i will. it sounds a lot more intelligent than i gave credit for and it's like 10 bucks at work atm so i may as well.

    City of Unoriginal Writing... BLAH

    there's no standardised canon for warlock. look at the wiki heading 'in popular culture', male wizard is just one of the definitions. you can't just say warlock = wizard. why am i defending cassandra clare anyway :rolleyes:

    City of Unoriginal Writing... BLAH

    if this post was directed at me... no. twilight was a piece of rubbish, run of the mill vampire story with clever marketing (meyer got lucky). but city of bones annoys me more in a way because it had the potential to be original and instead decided to rip off elements of the most popular crazes...

    City of Unoriginal Writing... BLAH

    there aren't any wizards in city of bones... no idea where both of you got that idea from. anyway, my main question is did either of you read the original post? no one's saying she copied the concept of vampires and werewolves from meyer/rowling, obviously that would be retarded. they're...

    Sanity/Virgin/Other CD Store Employment Help

    you don't actually get to upload your resume with it, but there was a section called 'responsibilities' that i didn't see first off (i'm an idiot), so i've listed my duties/experience there. i'm almost finished with my application, a friend of mine got a call back so that's good news :)

    Sanity/Virgin/Other CD Store Employment Help

    does anyone working at a store like Sanity/JB HI FI have any tips for the application? on the JB application there isn't really anywhere to actually talk about retail experience. so i don't know whether i should integrate my employment skills in with the 'why would you like to work at JB'...

    questions on BBus at UTS

    thankyou for your help :) it's very reassuring to hear from a student, i read somewhere that about 60% of graduates get employment almost straight out of uni but i wasn't sure how old those stats were. so it looks like uts is the best option for me, i'm just worried about what majors to...
