  Them saying “isn’t it like really fucked up to choose 12-18 year olds” made me laugh because yes that’s the whole point.

  The thing about Rue’s death isn’t so much that a little kid died and the district got angry because they killed a kid, they’ve been watching kids her age die for decades. What sparked the change is Katniss’ care for Rue, and her respect and determination to honor Rue, showing the districts that they are connected and not isolated and disparate from each other. Rue’s death and Katniss’ response, especially that finger salute, ignited in people the realization that they are connected and that their lives do matter and they can do something about it. As Snow said, too much hope is dangerous, and Katniss showing the districts defiance and love and humanity can exist is too much hope that can light fires to change and rebellion.

  Just to explain why the Mockingjay is important is because in the books, during the rebellion, the Capitol created a breed of birds called the Jabberjay. These birds would spy on the rebels and repeat every word to the Capitol. Once the rebels noticed this, they started to feed the Jabberjays false information and the Capitol had their plans screwed. As a result of this they let all the Jabberjays go and they mate with Mockingbirds and they create a new breed: Mockingjay. So Mockingjays are a symbol that people can outsmart the Capitol and make them look like fools. A parallel of this story.

  I’m not sure if anyone mentioned this, but after Rue’s death, Rue’s district sent Katniss a piece of bread which was a turning point because it was the first time a district sent someone not within their own a sponsor showing that Katniss was already connecting with districts on a deeper level that they’re all on the same team

  I haven&apos;t read the book, but from what I&apos;ve been told, when a tribute dies, they&apos;re picked up relatively quickly by a special team, and other tributes are asked to vacate the area before they pick up the body. The fact that Katniss stayed behind with Rue and took the time to pick flowers and arrange Rue with the flowers was kind of an extra f-you to the capitol, and probably one of the reasons District 11 was so grateful to her, since she treated Rue like a human being even in death on top of taking care of her and protecting her.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8K1KZsFIFk&amp;t=1142">19:02</a> This is actually what I like about Ceaser. Katniss describes him as well-meaning in the books. He always does his best to make each tribute shine or at least look favourable. He&apos;s basically really good at making others look good. And you can tell he is helping Katniss in her interview. He helps her calm down and has a more normal conversation with her. He knows which topics to bring up to get Katniss to show her &apos;inner&apos; self (with the caring for her family part), even if it&apos;s a performance. I really like that about him. It&apos;s also super dangerous and shows how media can control the masses. Still, I can&apos;t help but enjoy his moments.

  Gifts from sponsors takes and enormous amount of money. The burn cream was from sponsors Haymitch just sent it to her with a message. After Rue dies and Katniss pays tribute to her she gets a package of rolls I think from District 11. Katniss is very touched because she knows how little that districts people have (like her own poor district) and yet they still pulled their what they could together to send her a grateful gift. It is not common for districts to send gifts to other districts.

  Just a book detail to explain Katniss missing her first shot in the evaluation: she was used to making her own bows and arrows, which had natural variations, so she was uncertain how to aim such a perfectly straight arrow. She missed, because she was used to working with imperfection; once she made some minor adjustments to her technique, she was able to shoot well enough again to hit the apple.

  The score of 11 was meant to be punishment for shooting the arrow at the Apple. Giving her the highest score made her a target for the career tributes from Districts 1, 2 &amp; 4.

  Reading the book, Peeta’s brilliance at playing the Capitol game was absolutely amazing

  This is one of the few franchises where the second movie is EVEN BETTER than the first! Catching Fire is one of my favorite movies ever!
