i totally agree with you about the elders part, having their elders go in would have been a better idea, but wouldnt that defeat the purpose of what they just accomplished? I think it would show a really bad side of the newfound government. What do you think happened to Panem and the districts after the capital and Snow were killed?

Katniss being locked up for most of that, I think we can be free to think :)

In a panic, with Coin dead, they voted Paylor in and held Katniss's trial. That's all we know for sure.

I also think they got themselves into some sort of order, and that they appointed other members of the government. They probably also created a cabinet for the president. Also, they would balance out Paylor's power...just in case.

Is it weird if I write from Paylor's PoV a lot?

Yes. They would be the worst kind of hypocrites.

Yeah. I dont understand. I just think they should get a fair trial. And be like garbage men cleaning up dead bodies or something like that. Hahaha my evil sentence... :/

In my opinion, having THG for anyone is wrong. Why make other people, no matter what they've done go through this? We all know what the games does to people. How horrible they are. Why make ANYONE go into there?

Exactly why I was surprised Katniss chose yes. I was apalled. She's seen what it's done to her and everyone else why make it happen to someone else. The children of the gov officials did nothing at all. They shouldn't be punished for what their relatives did.

Exactly! I still think it was to gain Coin's trust though..I can't really think of any other feasible reason, besides revenge, for why she said yes.

Wasn't she like 'for prim?' but that's a pretty lame excuse, if you ask me.

I think it was an absolutely lame excuse. I wouldn't do it even if I was trying to gain trust. I wouldn't even do it saying: For (my dead sister whom I loved dearly)


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 2311 comments Mod
My sister died so I'm gonna make a bunch of innocent kids die to 'avenge' her death? Where's the logic?

I don't see any logic in 90% of the stuff Everdeen does.

Agreed. She's kinda weird.

:*( I do!


LiteraryMary95 But she did it to see through Coin...and that's why she killed her. It was all a test.

Yes, I guess your right.


Kirby | 49 comments there's no way to be sure, but I agree w/ lea that neither katniss nor haymitch truly wanted the games to happen again...I know that that doesn't entirely make sense (like, what would have happened if katniss said no? coin had already told katniss she could execute snow), but neither does her voting yes and meaning it...

I thought that the "for prim" pointed in the direction of it being a ploy to keep what little trust coin had in her...b/c at that time, katniss blamed coin for prim's death, not the capitol. and haymitch didn't really vote yes, he just said he was with the mockingjay.

BUT- if she did truly mean yes, I'd rather see it as her just bowing to the inevitable- thinking that her vote didn't matter (but, I don't know...even if it's a throw-away vote, I'd still vote "no!")...and that doesn't explain haymitch's vote...so I don't know!! I wish SC had explained this better :(

So, why do you think Katniss felt it important to gain Coin's trust?

Maybe she decided she was through witj all this and to get it all over with and kill coin and that would make coin trust her (not the her killimg coim part but the other part).


Kirby | 49 comments well, I'm just not really sure of anything...I guess that's what I was thinking- katniss voted yes in order to not gain coin's further distrust (b/c I don't think anyone expected her to ever trust katniss) so that she could get a chance to kill her.

on the one hand- coin had already agreed to let katniss be the one to execute snow, so that was a given...

on the other hand- maybe if coin had distrusted katniss even more (b/c she had gone against coin's wishes in the hunger games vote), she would have been sure she wasn't w/in katniss' line of fire during the execution...


message 76: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah. If I were Katniss (please do not kill me at what I say next) then I would vote yes to make sure that Coin didn't think anything was up. She wanted me to be nice and confuzzled, so I would act nice and confuzzled.

Under normal circumstances, there is no way in the WORLD I would vote yes. Unless it was the government officials going in.

Hmm i think they would just have to see the families reactions when their child was killed... that would really upaet me cause it wasnt just the kids whose lives they ruined


LiteraryMary95 For sure


message 80: by [deleted user] (new)

That's why I say Coin should have put those idiot adult government officials in instead.

Yeah that would be better


Athena | 1 comments they should make the games super hard. With pods and government hybrids. (not to be cruel)
I wasnt suprised with peeta's and katniss's answers. i would have said the same.


Also....
I read the book a few times but i still dont get the prim dying part. I mean, how did she get there? if she was a soldier, how did she become one? And the part that her shirt was stticking out like a duck tail... *confused*


message 83: by [deleted user] (new)

Prim would have wanted to be on the front line healing people, so Coin permitted her to be a medic in order to unhinge Katniss when she died.

The ducktail was a reference to chapter of the first book.


Emily (elmwoo) nice to khow, but back to topic.

The duck tail was kind of referring to Katniss still viewing Prim as a little kid back in the first book, even though Prim had grown up a lot after Katniss went through the Hunger games twice.


Caroline (godwithus) i was so sad to let go of all them!! i felt as if they were my bffs!! the book series so good!!!
