Assignment 13 - Kenna Miller

Florida Man Outraged When Told The Hunger Games Has An Armed Female Protagonist

TAMPA - Joe Hardy was walking through downtown Miami when he discovered a huge poster of a girl with a bow and arrow on the side of the Braxton Building. As he stopped to stare, a passerby halted next to him and said, "Don't you just love how females are the subject of books now?" and continued walking. Mr. Hardy realized what he had said and immediately stomped home to complain to his daughter, who agreed with the pedestrian. She then called us to report the full incident. "Last time I checked, men were the ones who were supposed to be the fighters," Hardy said to us, "women don't hunt. All they can do in times of war is nurse the wounded and mourn the dead." He explained to us his experience of male domination in wartime: "I read the Last of the Mohicans when I was a boy. Now that's a story of fighting men and a devoted girl. If she'd been armed, she would have ended up shooting her Indian boy in the back before he jumped off that cliff." He then entered his daughter's room, found her copy of the novel and began destroying. His daughter, Delia, recalled his outburst: "He started to tear up the book in front of me, screaming as he went through the pages. When he finished, he looked me in the eyes and said 'I hope I never catch you hunting. You don't wanna see your beloved Bambi dead, you'll only get upset' and left. I went to an archery session last week with my girlfriends. I don't want to get kicked out of this home." Unfortunately, the girl became distraught and headed back into the home with tears in her eyes. Logsdon's Doggins has yet to receive a comment from author Suzanne Collins.
