Suicide in The Hunger Games?

I saw this on Mockingjay.net and found it interesting... Some were questioning how the very clever foxface could be so careless as to die by poisioned berries.

In the movie they show her during training doing a computer activity with plants, which leads to the assumption that she knows her stuff. Then again, maybe it was just a speed/matching game with no insight on plants needed? Her district specializes in energy not agriculture. In the book she also uses the berries to make a meal with goat's milk or cheese, but maybe....???

Also, She tells Ceasar in her interview that, “I will always analyze the situation and apply myself.” So now the discussion has started that perhaps she really is THAT clever and used nightlock berries as an easy escape from an inevitable death?

Suzanne Collins wrote the book and screenplay, maybe she wanted to send the message out there? I wonder if we can ask her? If anyone has the opportunity - please do...

For now... here is further discussion from MockingJay.Net: More...

I was browsing Tumblr and fans are now all in a flurry about something – they believe that Foxface didn’t just accidentally eat the berries, she ate them to commit suicide. I thought this was a very interesting observation! I don’t take any credit for figuring this out but I thought it would make a good discussion. There are a few reasons why this seems to be the case, especially now that we’ve seen the film which has a few moments that could be subtle clues. Maybe even clues from Suzanne Collins, since she was a screenwriter and producer on the film! First of all, in the film we see Foxface speeding through some sort of computer training program involving plants. In her interview, we hear her say to Caesar: “I will always analyze the situation and apply myself.” We hear Peeta and Katniss say time and time again, “she’s clever, too clever.” Why would someone that clever die in such a way, a careless accident? What if Foxface realized where she was at that point – she was up against Cato, Thresh, and the team from 12. She wasn’t good with hand-to-hand combat, she relied on stealth and getting in and out of situations quickly. What if she realized that the chances were if up against any of her competitors, she’d die a terrible, painful death. Then, she sees the nightlock sitting perfectly in front of her as she followed Peeta, and thinks: “This is my painless way out. Why suffer more than I need to?” Maybe Foxface was more clever than we all believed. The other side of the argument is that the plant program in the training center was just a matching game. Not evidence of her knowing anything about plants. Then, in the book (not included in the film), she took a bit of goat cheese as if she was going to make a small meal out of the berries and cheese – not really evidence of suicide. However, what if Foxface wanted her death to look like an accident? Then, Foxface is from a district that specializes in power and electricity, not really a place where you’d learn about plants. We will never know, I suppose. Also, I figure now is a great time to commend Jaqueline Emerson on her performance – didn’t she do an amazing job? All without saying much of anything at all! The scene where she slams into Katniss in the beginning? Fantastic. Their faces just said: “I’m scared.” “Me too.” They didn’t want to kill each-other, as Jennifer Lawrence said, it’s pointless, unjustified violence. Now, sound off in the comments – did Foxface commit sucicide?

Taylor Lautner headed to Brazil?

I have been AWOL recently but am getting back into everything now that my insanely busy month of October is over and my first week of NAPPING IN NOVEMBER is over....

I guess there are rumours that Taylor may go to Brazil? Seems unlikely as he has no reason to crash the honeymoon, imagine.... ha ha oh how Twilight would change ;)

Anyhow, having just heard this rumour and being extrmely late to the party, I turned to experts on the latest and greatest.... here is the low down:

TwiFans summarized here:

1.Twilight Lexicon thinks it might be a dream sequence that Bella has about Jacob and Nessie.

Others think it’s just reporters assuming Taylor is coming because the Rob, Kristen , and Taylor’s names are frequently linked in the PR and the reporters just aren’t that familiar with the books. With Stephenie Meyer as producer, it’s hard to imagine a script run off the rails so far as to have Jake as a third wheel on Isle Esme.

The other item that might come into play is that Ashley Greene is currently in South America accompanying the Jonas Brothers on their current South American Tour which is just about over. It left us wondering if she is going to hop over to Rio to film any sequences that involve looking for Nahuel and Huelin.

2. The Twilight Examiner gives us this to ponder:

On page 673, there's a moment in which Bella has prepared the paperwork for Jacob and Renesmee to escape (via J. Jenks - you remember that part, I'm sure), and she has a hope that Alice and Jasper, who she knows are in South America because they have sent Zafrina and Senna along to help, will be of assistance to them.

Then I stared at the blank ivory page for a full five minutes, concentrating on my decision. Alice might not be able to see Jacob or Renesmee, but she could see me. I visualized her seeing the moment, hoping desperately that she wasn't too busy to pay attention.

Slowly, deliberately, I wrote the words RIO DE JANEIRO in all caps across the page.

What I'm thinking is that Alice might visualize the decision and the result - Jacob and Renesmee in Rio. That would explain them bringing Taylor Lautner and Mackenzie Foy along for the Isle Esme ride in Rio, wouldn't it? Of course, it could be a whole lot more creative than that - Bella visualizing the two gallivanting around in peace in Rio, Alice picturing meeting up with them in Rio (by that logic, Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathbone would have to head to Rio, too, I suppose), etc. Still, the concept that this is a vision of some sort is strong, and it also lends credibility to reports which suggest Lautner (and potentially Foy) might join the others in Brazil.

It's just one idea, and of course there is nothing official to say Lautner actually is going to Rio. But you hear things often enough, and it makes you wonder. Looking at the books, this seems like a plausible explanation, right? Your thoughts?
