The Hunger Games
Rue's Lullaby
When I read the Hunger Games, I was blown away! It was so good! I'm going to talk about the song that made me cry when Katniss sang it to Rue: Rue's Lullaby. Here are the lyrics. Sorry if I get any of the words wrong. E-mail me, and tell me the right ones if I do, please! :)
Deep in the meadow,
Under a willow,
A bed of grass,
A soft green pillow,
Lay down your head,
And close your sleepy eyes,
And when they open,
The sun will rise,
Here it's safe,
And here it's warm,
Here the daisies guard,
You from every harm,
Here your dreams are sweet,
And tomorrow brings them true,
Here is the place,
Where I love you
I know that there are more verses to the song, but these lines are the ones I want to talk about. If you really think about the lyrics, it's about dying out in nature. When you open your eyes, your dead. You open your eyes in Heaven. As the ninth line says, "Here it's safe", that right away gives away that you are in Heaven. Because in Heaven, you're protected from everything! The last line says "Where I love you". "I" could be anyone. It could be a family member, a friend, a lover. We don't know. Well maybe you do. E-mail me if you do know, please. That could help me, and a ton of other confused people with this subject.
