What if…? Game
Katniss wouldn't have been happy and eventually something would have torn them apart and she'd be left to watch peeta go on with his lifeWhat if Finnick hadn't died?
He would have continued to help with the war and eventually live happliy with Annie and their son.What if Prim hadn't died?
Katniss would have been happier and the end wouldn't have been soooo depressing(I felt so....personally)What if Katniss lived in some other district....say District 10?
The country would've never gone in rebellion.What if Mags hadn't volunteered for Annie?
Annie would probably have died in the Hunger Games. The book did say the Games had driven her almost to insanity, right? That would make her a target.What if Katniss had killed President Snow like she was supposed to instead of Coin?
Katniss would have won and gone back and probably married Gale.What if Rue hadn't died?
Katniss would have sacrificed herself when it was just the two of them to allow Rue to win.What if Peeta hadn't volunteered for Haymitch?
I honestly don't think it's a possibility but Peeta would have still joined the rebellion it would have been set up for him. Haymitch and Katniss would have been the ones to escape alive in the end anyway the way Katniss and Peeta did. That's another thing Peeta would have retained his memory making the fact that Katniss finally realized she truly did love Peeta a much more intense read. After all he wouldn't have been hijacked. Peeta would have been waiting for Katniss with open arms when she was sent back to district 13What if Gale hadn't left to another district and was there to see Katniss and Peeta marry and eventually have children?
Gale, Katniss and Peeta would never have gotten over their 3-way-romance thing, and they would all have been unhappy...What if Prim had never been reaped? (Would there still have been a rebellion, and if so, How?)
No, maybe not anytime near the games to which Prim had been reaped into. Eventually, the Panem population would either rebel, or become completely hopeless, therefore submissive to the Capitols rule. :)
What if ... District 13 had of revealed themselves earlier, as in before Katniss was born?
What if ... District 13 had of revealed themselves earlier, as in before Katniss was born?
Coin explaines that she (and district 13) have waited to reveal themselves, until they had a fighting chance to overturn the capitol, and for the population to be ready / willing to rebel. So if 13 had revealed themselves before they did, it would have been because of the same factors, that made them reveal themselves when they did, i.e. 13 and the population of Panem where ready...What if it was Thresh and not Cato that had been the last standing tribute beside Katniss and Peeta? (In the first game)
I think that Katniss would try to make sure they all would live since Thresh saved her life. She wouldn't kill him unless he asked, like Cato did.What if the rebellion lost the war?
Then Katniss, her friends, allies and everyone involved would have died. Snow would make another declaration about the war and would have shown off the captials power. Or Katniss and whoever was left would have found a way to escape, hide and waited for another chance to fight back.What if Katniss and Prim's dad was alive?
Katniss probably wouldn't have met Gale. And wouldn't have had to put her name in the reaping more times. She still could've been in the Hunger Games but the chances would have been slim.
What if Gale was reaped with Katniss?
What if Gale was reaped with Katniss?
Gale would have died. Period. AmenWhat if Peeta decided in the end he didn't want Katniss back and she would have had to have dealt with her Postdramatic stree disorder on her own? Would she have lost it cuz she didn't have Peeta to balance her out? Thoughts
I don't know. Maybe or maybe she would have found anothey way of dealing with it.What if Katniss and not Peeta was taken by the captial?
They would have killed Katniss immediately. Then the rebellion would have fallen apart.What if gale never killed prim???
Prim, Katniss, Petta, Gale and the whole "crew" would go back to distict 12, and Katniss would still have to decide whether to love Petta or Gale. What if Katniss had never volunteered to go to The Hunger Games in place of Prim...Would Prim Live? Would Petta live? Would Katniss ever know Petta (other than the time with the bread)?
Prim would probably die as she had no training for survival before and have plenty of weaknesses. Peeta only lived because of Katniss, so he's dead, too. Katniss would not have known him besides the time with the bread.What if Peeta had killed Katniss that first time he was taken over by the Capitol? When he tried to strangle her?
He would have snapped out of it eventually. I think. In my opinion the relationship they had was so strong. Given the circumstances he would have probably snapped out of it. That's just what I think.What if there was no Gale to begin with? What if Katniss and Gale never became friends? Would Katniss have turned to being friends with Peeta? Would she even become friends with him? Would there in the end Prim lived and it would have been easier for Katniss to admit her love for Peeta? This is assuming everything stayed the same Prim being reaped and Katniss volunteering.
I believe Gale was the reason Katniss kept her ability to trust after the loss of her father, and her mom 'going out of it'... That Gale is the reason, that Katniss is able to open herself up to anything / anyone other than Prim.And lets not forget, that Gale help her learn how to survive... Sure, she new a lot on her own, but she always said, that they were ten times better each of them, because of their mutual wishes to keeping their families alive...
What if the gamekeeper in 'Catching Fire' (Havensbee, I think his name is? It's been awhile since I last read the book), hadn't been on the rebels side?
Katniss would have probably been killed by the gamekeepers, because they would have hated her, and the book being in first-person, would have ended.What if the book was written in Peeta's point of view...would it have been so good? What would Peeta think of the other characters...?
I think it would have been interesting to hear some og Peeta's points and thoughts about different things, but for the whole book to be from his perspective, no, I wouldn't have liked that, as much as I love it from Katniss' POV.I believe the book could have benefitted from being in an omnipresent view, or in 3rd person.
What if Katniss' first Hunger Game, had been the second quarterqell? (Where instead of 24 tributes, it had been 48)
How would she have done? How would Peeta have done? Etc.
She had her hands full with just 24, and the arena was pretty much her home territory. I don't think either of them would live.What if Cinna hadn't made her dress turn into a mockingjay? Would he have survived?
No, unless he had been rescued along with Finnick and Katniss. Peeta's stylist team were publicly executed, he probably would have been as well.
What if Peeta, not Finnick, had been rescued?
What if Peeta, not Finnick, had been rescued?
Nothing much would have changed, except Peeta wouldn't try to kill Katniss or be a risk to the mission, and Finnick wouldn't have married Annie. He might've died.What if the Capitol had killed Peeta when they captured it?
Katniss, dealing with so much stress at the time would have probably had a major breakdown, and at the and of the book, she would have married Gale.What if Katniss's mother had died (Before the book started) instead of her dad?
she would not have been so gloomy all the time and might have been way more cheerfulwhat if everyone said yes in the end when coin wanted to send capital kids to the hunger games?
I don't think it would change much. They all had realized that it wasn't right to do it to the capital's kids, when they didn't do anything wrong, just as the district's kids shouldn't have been put through it for all those years. Katniss would still come to realize that Coin was the real enemy and at the point where she is going to kill Snow with the arrow, she would have still shot it at Coin and ended the possibility of a Hunger Games where the Capitol's kids were tributes.What if Haymitch had not won his Hunger Games; meaning he was not Peeta and Katniss' mentor?
Then district 12 would not have a mentor nor would Peeta or Katniss been able to survive the games together. What if Mags had not volunteered for Annie?
Finnick and Annie would have been in the arena together. The plan to escape would have still happened, so they would have both made it out of the arena alive. Finnick would have done everything in his power to keep her alive. Not sure who would have been saved by the Rebels and who would have been taken by the Capitol.What if Peeta and Katniss had been able to break off from the group of allies, Finnick, Beetee and Johanna, before they had been able to implement the plan to blow up the force field around the arena?
then katniss wouldn't have shot the arrow at the thing and it wouldn't have collapsed plus the beetee's plan would have worked, then the group of allies would have went after katniss and peeta and would have killed them peeta 1st then katniss . next it would have came down to finnick and johanna and i think finnick would have one.what if katniss was 19 when prim was repped in the 1st book?
Then Prim would have gone to the Hunger Games and most likely have died. What if Katniss never wore the mockingjay pin?
The Mockingjay would not have been the symbol for the rebellion. If Katniss and Peeta still pulled the stunt of "both of us out, or there will be no winner" the rebellion would have still commenced.What if Peeta's father never told him about how he wanted to marry Katniss' mother but she went for a cold miner?
I don't think that would have changed much... Sure, it influences Peeta, but he still have his own mind... What if Katniss hadn't blown up the careers supplies at the cornucopia?
It would have been a bigger challenge to win, one I don't think Katniss would have been able to overcome.What if Rue hadn't helped Katniss with her Tracker-Jacker stings?
Katniss may have been killed by the Careers in her weakened state.
What if Peeta hadn't been tortured by the Capitol?
What if Peeta hadn't been tortured by the Capitol?
He would return to 13th District, and would help in the rebellion the way he should have: He would be the face of the uprising, letting Katniss to dive into war completely with Gale at her side. So he would realise, that he has no more chance against Gale in the fight for Katniss. He would marry Delly instead.What if Katniss had missed the arrow into the force field, thus not giving the 13th district a chance to get her out of the arena?
The games would continue until some genius *cough* beetee *clears throat* comes up with a better plan
What if beetee was killed before they could escape?
What if beetee was killed before they could escape?
Then the Hunger Games would continue as planned by the Capitol.What if both Katniss' mother and father died before the books started?
I think the same would have happened...Maybe Katniss and Primrose would have gone to the orphanage, but seeing as how the condition of it would be, she would probably still have gone hunting...
What if Peeta had died in the Quarter Quell?
Then Katniss would have given up and wouldn't have bothered trying to survive. Her whole plan was for Peeta to live.What if Peeta had been killed during the seventy-fourth Hunger Games?
Katniss probably would've been with gale and the rebellion wouldve taken longer to happen because katniss wouldnt have been the symbol of rebellion. What if peeta hadn't given Katniss the bread?
Peeta might have felt bad about not giving Katniss the bread and talked to her after. They would have been friends earlier and Peeta could reveal his feelings earlier. But they still go into the games.What if Rue never died in 74th Hunger Games?
That would mean that she would be the victor. I have a feeling Katniss' death would have been to protect her.
What if Cinna was not killed?
Nikita wrote: "What if Cinna was not killed?"Sorry, forgot to ask a question.
If Cinna wasn't killed, Katniss wouldn't ever have had a jump start against Snow. Big factor for her, no?What if it was Gale who died, and not her sister?
I don't think much of the ending would have changed...Perhaps Katniss would mourne for him the rest of her life, complicating her relation with Peeta, but I don't think it would have changed mush, if it had been him who had died...
What if Snow had escaped the Capitol before the rebels got to him?
