What do you think of the idea for a last and final Hunger Games featuring the Capitol official's children?
Were you surprised by who voted what?
What woudl your vote have been?
Why?

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
First I'm going to put what I thought of the votes.

Peeta: I agree with Peeta who said no. I think he was right. I mean, he went through it, why put someone else through it? It would make the rebels stoop to the level of the people who they were going against. They would be doing something they were trying to stop. Besides the Capitol officials children most likely had nothing to do with it. This goes for Annie and Beetee too.

Johanna: Is a bitter person. She pretty much aches for revenge and someone "getting a taste of their own medicine"

Katniss: I have to say I was surprised... and disappointed. I mean, yes she was grief stricken about Prim but, would Prim really want that again? I mean, this really kind of told me Katniss hardly had a heart. Besides, what if someone just like Katniss who had a little sister who was entered in those final games who died? She'd be just in the same situation as Katniss.

Haymith: I was surprised by his, "I go with the Mockingjay" thing.

I would have voted no. For what I said in Katniss's and Peeta's.

I thought it was a cruel idea and not surprised it was Coin's idea.

I was suprised... I think they shouldn't do that. I would have voted no.
So basically I just agree with Lauren :)

Well I think Katniss said "yes" so she would get Coin's full trust so she could kill Coin later.

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Hmmm... interesting thought. Coin was an interesting character. I hated her, truthfully. I think that was part of it and I think she was truly grief stricken.

I don't think she did that. To me it seems like she was just crazy with grief over Prim's death and she wouldn't have thought ahead to do that.

Grief can make people do some crazy stuff. I didn't like Coin though.

Nah..Katniss wouldn't of wanted to inflict that upon other people. Remember, she was really upset over how 13 treated her prep team and they were Capitol people.

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Yeah, she was upset. I don't like Coin but don't you think by that moment in the book Katniss would be tired of murder and human torture?

Lea (Peeta's #1 Fangirl!) (3teofilea3) | 768 comments Mod
I would be. 100 times over. I think, in the end, that's why Gale and Katniss split. Katniss wanted a break from all that...living a quiet life. Gale was still into it. The only reason Katniss was the Mockingjay was for Prim, Rue...


message 14: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
I agree. I did think that by the end of MJ. Gale was ready to sacrifice many lives and he wanted to be in the thick of it and Katniss wanted to just settle down and try and forget it for the moment.

She had enough trouble for a lifetime.


message 16: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Yes. She got way more than her share of grief, pain, and trouble.


LiteraryMary95 I expected Peeta and Johanna's responses. I knew Haymitch would go with Katniss. For Katniss, I expected her response to have been used to see whether Coin is trustworthy or not because Katniss sensed it a little bit earlier in the book. That's also why she killed Coin.


message 18: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
I see. Interesting. Yes, I think she realized Coin is just as bad as Snow and that Coin is the one who could have easily gotten away.

I was very upset that katniss said what she did. I have a little sister and if that happened to her i would be crazy mad and upset and angry and sad and everything but i would never intentionally kill anyone. Period.


message 20: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
I know. I wouldn't want to murder. Gosh, I was surprised.


LiteraryMary95 But Katniss realized that Coin was going to act like Snow if she became president so she did what she thought was best.


message 22: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Yes. I see your point. I meant, we don't want a repeat.


LiteraryMary95 No that would be bad so I understood her reaction.


message 24: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Yeah. Now I do.


message 25: by LEX, I love PSYCH (new) - rated it 5 stars

LEX (lydiapatch) | 1015 comments Mod
Hmmm. I think if she only said that to make coin trust her it is ok but not if she actually wrnt through with it.


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

I can support both sides, it kinda just depends...


message 27: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Yes, I agree with Primness. I mean it's hard to pick. There are pros and cons to both. It's a heated debate.

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Yeah. I'm curious to see how they pronounce everything. It's like before the Harry Potter 1 movie came out my parents called Hermione "her-me-ohn [sound like in home]"

It say it KATE-O


message 41: by [deleted user] (new)

My friends say it like that too. That's one good thing about the movie. They'll have the correct pronunciation 'cuz Suzanne told 'em how.

How did you pronounce Darius.

Saying the "ar" like "air"?

Or "awr" like in tar?


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

dayr-e-us, I think, but I'm not sure...


message 46: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
SO the "air" version. I said "awr" version. I'm not sure why. I think right before he come into the picture someone called me "Lauren" with the "awr" sound for the "au" so I thought that.


Emily (elmwoo) Back to the Topic...
I would have voted no, a lot of the reason would be that even though the people in the capitol enjoyed and loved the games, and as a district member i would be like are you crazy?!?! but the people in the distict, no matter how weird, were raised and told and taught that the Hunger Games were a celebration, they participated them and acted as though they really were just a game. Also the whole point of the Mockinjay and the rebellion was to STOP the hunger games, they would be defeating their own purpose if they had their own with the people who condoned with the games' childern, what if these people didnt agree with it either? It would just create a giant mess and really not help their cause.


message 48: by [deleted user] (new)

I can argue both sides. I would've been withHaymitch. I'm with the Mokingjay. But most likely, I'd be compelled to vote no. What did the kids do? It was their elders who screwed up...


message 50: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah! They should have stuck a bunch of old government geezers in the arena! That would have been perfect!
