Did you cry when prim died?

I was kinda glad she died. It made the book more interesting. Prim had a purpose and it was to keep Katniss alive. Her job is done.
I sobbed! It was impossible to not love Prim! Her death was so unexpected too.
YES! I stopped reading for a moment while I sat and cried...
I didn't. Though it was sad, Katniss love her alot :(

Sometimes I think that authors become too attached to characters. All the kill offs were in keeping with the theme of the book. How fragile life was in their world.

No. I didn't feel Collins wrote these books really well on an emotional level.
yes i did :((but the novel totally was soooooo boring
Artemis wrote: "Oh,and,I hate how the whole book Katniss is sorry for herself.The nightmares,the dreams,the whole thing,I'm going to abandon everyone so I can Kill snow and make myself happy.If I die,who cares?"Yeah, I felt the same way for awhile but then I thought if I was 16 and going through all this then I would be upset too.
no, i did not. i thought it was just way to quick. everything in this book felt rushed. it was complete crap compared to the rest of the series. it was like the author just wanted it all to end.
Nope, i didn't cry . Cause it's a fictional character
I didn't cry when she died, though I think that it was partially because it seemed so muddled and like a fever dream that I just didn't know what had actually happened. The part that really got me was when Buttercup was looking for Prim and Katniss was yelling at him that Prim was never coming back, and Buttercup not really getting it. I promptly dissolved into tears at that point.
Not really? I didn't think her death was very descriptive or emotional, she just.... died
How could I not she reminds me of my little sibling. She's my little ducking.
I didn't even realize she died until later
I didnt cry when Prim died because I didnt even relise that it was Prim to be honest, I though it was Peeta when it said blonde hair and then I relised it said braided... So dont feel bad if you dont remember her dying. And after Katniss going to the hunger games to save her life and Prim still dying. I was very very angry not sad when I relised it was Prim. But on the other hand I sobbed for 10 minutes after Rues tragic death in the first book.
Patricia wrote: "No, I didn't cry, but I rarely cry over books. It has to touch me very deeply to make me cry."same here although i will admit it sure shocked me. but we never really knew Prim other than what we were TOLD to know about her so i didn't connect with her character at all
Yup...cried. This entire story could have ended after the 2nd book and I would have been happy. Hated this ending.
I cried when Prim died. It was sooo said! I also cried when Rue died. That was horrible

Yes I most certainly cried!!! I hated this book... just too many deaths. In reality the whole series was sad, I still loved it though.
I had tears in my eyes, but they didn't like... ran down on my face? It's just always like that, it's the same thing with movies, I just can't cry over them.
Nope, I think it'd be impossible for anyone to cry over that scene when it literally came out of nowhere and was only described for about half a page before Katniss K.O'd...again!
Yeah I agree. If you cry over something in a book, it has to be cry-worthy. I don't get why Rue got this big fancy death and all Prim gets is explode and Katniss does nothing but get knocked out.
No, i didn't cry.
no. it happened too fast for me. like a certain other notable death in the book...
I didn't cry when Prim died, but I felt sad and disappointed. Isn't Prim a large part of what Katniss was fighting for?
This part killed me:
- “She’s not here,” I tell him. Buttercup hisses again. “She’s not here. You can hiss all you like. You won’t find Prim.”
At her name, he perks up. Raises his flattened ears. Begins to meow hopefully.
“Get out!” He dodges the pillow I throw at him. “Go away! There’s nothing left for you here!” I start to shake, furious with him. “She’s not coming back! She’s never ever coming back here again!”
I grab another pillow and get to my feet to improve my aim. Out of nowhere, the tears begin to pour down my cheeks. “She’s dead, you stupid cat. She’s dead.”

i was not happy when she died. But i saw it coming. no crying at that part.

i cried so much its going to make me cry just mentioning it and finnick as well i loved finnick he was my fav character and annie didnt care she just said well finnick would agree YOUR HUSBANE IS DIED AND YOU DONT CARE. I LIKE ANNIE BUT NOT WHEN SHE DOESNT CARE ABOUT FINNICK DYING I MEAN SERIOUSLY sorry about the caps and i got a little worked up well, alot worked up XD
I almost died when Prim died!!!!!! Because she Had grown into a young woman and then she died!!!
I didn't really care about Prim. I was more upset when Rue in book 1 died in the hunger games.I definitely didn't see Prim's death coming, that was a surprise.

That part almost made me burst out in tears.

I don't remember, it's been a while, but… I'm guessing that would have something to do with the uncaring attitude.
And it doesn't count as inappropriate language if it's blocked out. I'm just saying.

It's my favorite. It's very dark, grim, gritty and true, which makes me think Suzanne Collins was trying to give us all a lesson about what a real war might be like.
