Anyway
,
Gale
and
I
agree
that
if
we
have
to
choose
between
dying
of
hunger
and
a
bullet
in
the
head
,
the
bullet
would
be
much
quicker
.
The
space
gets
tighter
,
more
claustrophobic
as
people
arrive
.
The
square
's
quite
large
,
but
not
enough
to
hold
District
12
's
population
of
about
eight
thousand
.
Latecomers
are
directed
to
the
adjacent
streets
,
where
they
can
watch
the
event
on
screens
as
it
's
televised
live
by
the
state
.
I
find
myself
standing
in
a
clump
of
sixteens
from
the
Seam
.
We
all
exchange
terse
nods
then
focus
our
attention
on
the
temporary
stage
that
is
set
up
before
the
Justice
Building
.
It
holds
three
chairs
,
a
podium
,
and
two
large
glass
balls
,
one
for
the
boys
and
one
for
the
girls
.
I
stare
at
the
paper
slips
in
the
girls
'
ball
.
Twenty
of
them
have
Katniss
Everdeen
written
on
them
in
careful
handwriting
.
Two
of
the
three
chairs
fill
with
Madge
's
father
,
Mayor
Undersee
,
who
's
a
tall
,
balding
man
,
and
Effie
Trinket
,
District
12
's
escort
,
fresh
from
the
Capitol
with
her
scary
white
grin
,
pinkish
hair
,
and
spring
green
suit
.
They
murmur
to
each
other
and
then
look
with
concern
at
the
empty
seat
.
Just
as
the
town
clock
strikes
two
,
the
mayor
steps
up
to
the
podium
and
begins
to
read
.
It
's
the
same
story
every
year
.
He
tells
of
the
history
of
Panem
,
the
country
that
rose
up
out
of
the
ashes
of
a
place
that
was
once
called
North
America
.
He
lists
the
disasters
,
the
droughts
,
the
storms
,
the
fires
,
the
encroaching
seas
that
swallowed
up
so
much
of
the
land
,
the
brutal
war
for
what
little
sustenance
remained
.
The
result
was
Panem
,
a
shining
Capitol
ringed
by
thirteen
districts
,
which
brought
peace
and
prosperity
to
its
citizens
.
Then
came
the
Dark
Days
,
the
uprising
of
the
districts
against
the
Capitol
.
Twelve
were
defeated
,
the
thirteenth
obliterated
.
The
Treaty
of
Treason
gave
us
the
new
laws
to
guarantee
peace
and
,
as
our
yearly
reminder
that
the
Dark
Days
must
never
be
repeated
,
it
gave
us
the
Hunger
Games
.
The
rules
of
the
Hunger
Games
are
simple
.
In
punishment
for
the
uprising
,
each
of
the
twelve
districts
must
provide
one
girl
and
one
boy
,
called
tributes
,
to
participate
.
The
twenty-four
tributes
will
be
imprisoned
in
a
vast
outdoor
arena
that
could
hold
anything
from
a
burning
desert
to
a
frozen
wasteland
.
Over
a
period
of
several
weeks
,
the
competitors
must
fight
to
the
death
.
The
last
tribute
standing
wins
.
Taking
the
kids
from
our
districts
,
forcing
them
to
kill
one
another
while
we
watch
-
this
is
the
Capitol
's
way
of
reminding
us
how
totally
we
are
at
their
mercy
.
How
little
chance
we
would
stand
of
surviving
another
rebellion
.
Whatever
words
they
use
,
the
real
message
is
clear
.
"
Look
how
we
take
your
children
and
sacrifice
them
and
there
's
nothing
you
can
do
.
If
you
lift
a
finger
,
we
will
destroy
every
last
one
of
you
.
Just
as
we
did
in
District
Thirteen
.
"
To
make
it
humiliating
as
well
as
torturous
,
the
Capitol
requires
us
to
treat
the
Hunger
Games
as
a
festivity
,
a
sporting
event
pitting
every
district
against
the
others
.
The
last
tribute
alive
receives
a
life
of
ease
back
home
,
and
their
district
will
be
showered
with
prizes
,
largely
consisting
of
food
.
All
year
,
the
Capitol
will
show
the
winning
district
gifts
of
grain
and
oil
and
even
delicacies
like
sugar
while
the
rest
of
us
battle
starvation
.
