HUNGER GAMES

Discussion Question 1 ( Remember our blogging rules)

How does Katniss feel about the country of Panem?

127 comments:

  1. Katniss thinks that Panem is a country of hope a town in which poor people have nothing to live for but send their children to an arena to see the lat one standing. Panem is the remaining land on Earth, which makes it complicated to live life and survive also with the struggle of the Hunger Games.

    2. I agree with Chico because Panem is America that got destroyed by natural disasters. In Panem most districts are poor. So I think Katniss is scared of Panem cause of the Hunger Games which is a reality show for Panem. I also think she's worried because she has to feed her family because they are poor so they can't afford that much food so she has to put her life at risk to feed her mom and sister

    3. I agree for the most part with you Peanuts except for one thing. You stated that Katniss saw Panem as a country of hope. I don't quite understand why exactly she sees it as hopeful considering as you mentioned, the Capitol is sending children from Panem into a fight to the death in an arena.

    4. I disagree with Sanjay because Katniss wouldn't be scared of Panem if she has lived there her whole life. If she was scared she wouldn't of voluntered for Prim. Maybe she is just worried that she won't come back and no one will care for Prim and her mom.

    5. I meant she had no hope. Sorry.

    7. I agree with miyu because if she was scared then she would not have volonteerd for prim and she was brave to do that

    8. I agree with Jacob because all the people in the Panem really do have nothing to live for. Although I disagree because I don't think that Katniss thinks that Panem is a country of hope. I think this because who would think a place where people are constantly dying hopeful? If I lived in the Panem I wouldn't even have hope that I would live another day.

  4. I think that Katniss feels angry and discontent because the Capitol is treating those who live on the outskirts (those who live in the twelve districts) as if they are their slaves. Those in the districts literally live to serve the wealthy that live in the Capitol. In Katniss' district (District 12) her father died in a coal mine, mining for the sake of those who live in the Capitol. She probably feels like those in her district are working for others who are able to live a perfect life while they are left to starve and as it mentioned in the first chapter, everything they live in is coated in a layer of coal dust. My point is, is that Katniss probably feels upset and at most furious that she is being forced to live in poverty while the fruit of her labour is used to assist those who don't need it.

    3. I agree with Mitzi because Panem does treat the people in the twelve districts like slaves. As Mitzi said those in Katniss' district are left to starve while the capitol is wealthy of anything and everything.

  5. I think Katniss dislikes the country of Panem because she lives in a poor district that has nothing. Katniss has to hunt for her own food while the Capitol has everything and their wealthy of not just money but food and clothing.

    1. I agree with you Miyu because as I stated in my own comment, obviously Katniss doesn't like those who live in the Capitol simply becuase they have more than she and those who are around her do when they are perfectly capable of giving to those who need it, like Katniss and her district.

    5. I agree because it's just so unfair that the Capitol is living in never-ending luxury while literally everyone around them is in terrible conditions. It's almost as if they are mocking the outlying districts by setting up this way of arrangement for themselves.

    1. Id like to add on the what you said Ben, also because also Katniss is not too happy with the type of people who run Paren because the Capitol practically tests all the people in watch district as there slaves and if it were the attempt to rebell against the Capitol they would punish you it's near to impossible to over throw the Capitol so that give her little to none hope

    2. They practically treat althe districts as slaves*** (there was some wording mistakes in my last comment so just trying to fix it and make it more clear)

  12. I think Katniss hates the country of Panem because they are so poor and can starve to death.While district 12 is super poor the capital is super rich.they have tones of food, warmth,shelter and fun.district 12 ha to build their own shelter, trade and hunt for food and everyone there is so depressed, but katniss cant say a word to the capital or she will get in big trouble.

  13. I agree with Ben because everything unfortunate that's happened to Katniss was because of Panem and the Capitol the only reason she has not lost hope yet is because she has to stay strong for her families sake

  14. I think Katniss feels hatred towards the country of Panem because, she lives in one of the worst districts to live in, while the Capitol is so luxurious and fancy. Katniss has to hunt for her food and feel the pain that her family is feeling. And this is all because of the rules in Panem.

    2. I agree as well because the Capitol is clearly powerful and luxiurious and the districts that surround it and give the Capitol what they have. Without the districts the Capitol would surely fall so instead they use them as stepping stones, as slaves.

  16. I think that Katniss doesn't have that much pride for her country, but she doesn't hate Panem. I think all her hatred mainly goes against the Capitol because while all 12 districts are in starvation and poverty, the Capitol is having the time of their life in wealth and luxury. ~Sarah

  17. I somewhat agree with Sarah because everyone in the twelve districts are trying to work together and they think of themselves as a family so she loves her country for that but Katniss has much hate for the Capitol

  27. Katniss hates the country Panem because of how there are 12 districts and the one that she lives is one of the poorest districts. She dosen't like how you have to hunt for your food rather than just buying it from a store. You can buy food from a store, but it is just too expensive for Katniss and her family to buy. She hates how the Capitol is so wealthy and that they tell Districts what to do when they are living a life with no worries. Katniss dosen't like starving everyday of her life with her family and just knowing that they could die any moment. Overall Katniss dislikes the country of Panem. By : Pitino

  28. I think Katniss can be a bit of a Hippocrate if you think about it we all call her brave and strong but how strong is she really? She cares so much about her family and she has so much hate for the Capitol why doesn't she speak up or do something. I understand her life is at risk but if you resent and despises someone so much, you don't care what happens or if you get hurt, because at least you said what needed to be said and if you die well you die trying because we're were going to die because of the Capitol someday so make that day the day you try to make a difference

    6. Wow Emma. I never thought of things that way before, but you have a really good point about Katniss. I agree because it's true that Katniss is being Hippocratic. If she is so strongly hating the Capitol, then the Capitol has equal right to hate her back.

      Delete
    7. I disagree with Sarah because its like what phoenix said her mom mentally left her so she is stronger than ever. Why would you want to be killed because you know if you stand up to the Capitol you would either be killed or get in trouble. So why would you want to die...

      Delete
    8. I disagree with Emma because that could put your whole district and family at risk of being destroyed for example district 13 they rebelled and got obliterated. So I think just getting your opinion out at the cost of your family and district is kind of selfish
