In our second episode, we discuss the communication between different cultures. One way of distinguishing them is based on how specific the context is. But what do "high" and "low" really mean?

Many thought Collins had ended the series after the 2010 publication of Mockingjay — she even wrote in 2015 that it was "time to move on to other lands."

But four years later, she surprised readers and the publishing world when she announced she was working on what became The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, released in 2020 and set 64 years before the first book.

Collins used parts of Greek mythology and the Roman gladiator games for her earlier Hunger Games books.

But for the new book, she said she was inspired by the Scottish philosopher David Hume, and what he described as "the easiness with which the many are governed by the few."

She added that the book will also look at the use of propaganda and "the power of those who control the narrative."

The film version of Songbirds and Snakes, starring Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler, came out last year. This fall, a Hunger Games play is set to open in London.

七夕（たなばた）

昨日は七夕だった。七夕は７月７日の夜に織姫（おりひめ）と彦星（ひこぼし）が天の川（あまのがわ）で１年に１度会えるという伝説（でんせつ）だ。日本人は中国の「乞巧奠（きこうでん）」という行事（ぎょうじ）をもとに、願い事を書いた「短冊（たんざく）」を笹（ささ）に飾（かざ）り、お祈（いの）りをするという風習（ふうしゅう）がある。本来（ほんらい）、習い事（ならいごと）の上達（じょうたつ）を祈るために行（おこな）われていたそうだ。私はそれを知らずに、大人（おとな）になってからは「物がほしい」や「旅行に行きたい」などと書いた記憶がある。今は短冊にこう書きたい、“中国語がもっと上手（うま）くなりますように！”
