“District Twelve. Where you can starve to death in safety,”
“It’s to the Capitol’s advantage to have us divided among ourselves,”
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 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.
“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!”
No, the odds are not in my favor today.
