The ballad of songbirds and snakes

I've been reading The ballad of songbirds and snakes for the last few weeks, I'm at the epilogue right now, and this book has brought me to a deeper understanding of Coriolanus Snow. You know that line in the mockingjay part one? (At least in the movie). "The people we love are the ones that destroy us." or something like that. Well, while reading the book I had a feeling that that was coming from personal experience. And I was right. And after reading this book, I've come to the conclusion that Coriolanus Snow is the psychopath, old version or young version. I knew from the start that it was a bad sign if Dr. Gaul, a psycopath with certificates (like, killing people is literally her job) took a liking to him, that was a sign that even if he looked decent at the start of the book, he's become just as much a psycopath as she is. And I also know because I've read and seen the hunger games. Also, I pretty much predicted that Lucy Gray would write the hanging song after Arlo's hanging. And now that I've read it, I think one of the reasons why he hates Katniss so much is because she reminds him so much of Lucy Gray. I hate Coriolanus Snow, and I love Lucy Gray (and I really hope she survived). Also, now that I know for sure that these twodon't end up together in the end (because she realized the monster he is), I have a feeling that she might just be Katniss's grandma or something like that. Like, they are too similar (okay, maybe not and I'm just pulling at threads here, but I really want her to Katniss's grandma). Also, I just wanted to say that The hanging song is my favorite ballad from the whole frenchise. The message is very dark, but I like how it sounds. And now that I'm reading the epilogue, I'm noticing how instead of calling him Coriolanus, by his first name, the auther is calling him Snow, like the moment he came back to the Capirol, he was no longer the person he was at the start, but the heartless, souless monster that we see throughout the hunger games movies and book. It makes him distant. Cold, like his last name. Snow. See, I started noticing those little things since I became a writer. Suddenly, those little details have significance. But in the end, Snow lands on top. Doesn't it, Snow?

Well, I just finished reading the epilogue, and as I expected, it ended with the sentance, "Snow lands on top." *Shakes head at Coriolanus* so predictable.
