Was It All For Nothing?

Katniss risks her life for Prim so Prim doesn't have to go in the games. But Prim dies anyway. So did katniss risk her life for no reason?? Or was it worth it?

I think it was worth it. The way Prim dies, is much better than watching her on live television.

And Katniss's sacrifice and bravery sparked a rebellion that toppled the Capitol and ended the HG for all future kids. Well worth it!

No, it was worth it. But I do say it was ironicly painful.

My thoughts exactly

i thnk suzanne collins just got bored of the series and said "oh, lets just make every character die or go insane."
my thoughts on this is that it would be worth it to every one else, but not to katniss.

I thought it sucked. Like make a whole series based on saving someone and trying to protect them, and then just kill everyone off in the end? Like no. It was dumb.

The irony of the situation is also very realistic. There are many stories of self sacrifice that ended sadly. I suppose what I am saying is that is life.

I have to agree. I think killing Prim in the end just smacked of cheap melodrama. It's the sort of thing a tv show would do in the later seasons to up the "drama" element. Ooh, let's make things really tragic. . .

this is what i commented in my other posts in other threads...its just laughing on face..!

Considering Katniss abollished the whole 'President Snow, Hunger Games, Murder, Murder, Murder' thing, I would say it was worth it. But like some people have said, it is quite ironiclally painful.

[Tina J]

No more Snow, Coin or Hunger Games.
I'd definitely say it was worth it.

But I bet Katniss wouldn't care.....as long as she had Prim back!

[Helen]

Um, given that her actions helped spark the long-needed rebellion, toppled the capitol and ended the ritual sacrifice of children once a year, yes, I'd say it was worth it :) She may have lost Prim, but she helped create a better future for other kids in the whole of Panem.

I have to agree with Michaela. It is showing the ruthlessness of war. It is revealing the actuality of war, not the beauty of a story. It reminds me a little of All Quiet On The Western Front. War isn't pretty, and often times doesn't work out how everyone wants it to. I think that is the point that Suzanne Collins was trying to make.

It was worth it, Prim died doing what she loves, instead of for entertainment.

[the fire burns]

It was worth it because Prim was able to live a little longer whereas if she were in the arena(which is really hard to imagine)she would probably die the first day. I STILL CANT BELIEVE SHE DIED THOUGH! :(:(:(:(
