What intensions does the Capitol have with putting on the hunger games?
I believe that the intensions from the capitol of the hunger games are to not only to provide excitement and entertainment for the districts but to show how much power they have and to even make rivalries between districts. Although I think these are the intensions of the Capitol, I don’t think that they actually happen, well at least not in the past hunger games. I think this because of the relationship between Katniss and Rue. Even though they were both from different districts, there was no hate between them and you could see that they both really cared for each other even though they just meet. This was demonstrated by the way they took care of each other and even the way Katniss still took care of Rue after she had passed. Also the intensions of the Capitol looking strong and having power over the games got taken away by Katniss and Peeta at the end of the games. At this part of the games both Katniss and Peeta were going to outsmart the games and leave the hunger games without a winner by committing suicide off of the poisonous berries.
Hello again Marius. I appreciate your avid posting, and interesting opinions. Yet however I would like to disagree with yours opinions here. I feel that the tensions between the Districts has always been there, even in their 74th Annual Game. This is because the characters in the book have stated before how they disliked the richer districts because they had more say with the capitol. As well throughout the games tension was always there with other Tributes that was not focused so much on. The reason Katniss respected Rue was simply for the fact that Katniss is a kind girl. She,unlike most other tributes, respects people. In the end Cato was teamed up against only because District 12 had 2 tributes left, while Cato was alone.
ReplyDeleteThis quote exemplifies my idea.
"Brutal, bloody Cato who can snap a neck with a twist of his arm, who had the power to overcome Thresh, who has had it out for me since the beginning. He probably has had a special hatred for me every since I outscored him in training. A boy like Peeta would simply shrug that off. But I have a feeling it drove Cato to distraction. Which is not that hard. I think of his ridiculous reaction to finding the supplies blown up. The others were upset, of course, but he was completely unhinged. I wonder now if Cato might not be entirely sane." (24.27)
