If you squeeze a bar of soap too tight, it's gonna squirt out of your hands. Complacency is usually more powerful than fear. If you rewind back one year to the start of THG, what did you have? District 12 was the poorest, most pathetic District where people starved to death in the streets, and you had, what, one person who Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819861295117048917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-89866891550511048262010-08-08T22:08:50.029-04:002010-08-08T22:08:50.029-04:00I'm also loving the mockingjay/bread symbolism...I'm also loving the mockingjay/bread symbolism and K+P leading an uprising in the starving districts! So glad you pointed that out. Will K feel less like her relationship with Peeta is Capitol enforced if she and P lead an uprising in earnest? C'mon kids, let's make this thing happen--ppl are starving out there. <br /><br />Speaking of, how does K know on page 131 that "The Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680957802498753068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-15418043939967605422010-08-06T14:25:25.081-04:002010-08-06T14:25:25.081-04:00There is nothing not-poetic about brooding emo hun...There is nothing not-poetic about brooding emo hunters.

I also think that to the poor, hungry people of Panem, bread is such a powerful symbol. This is why Katniss needs to lead the rebellion with Peeta--a baker! Fighting hunger! So perfect! Sorry Gale, but brooding emo hunter is way less poetic.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691837991757884582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495292846227578645.post-76306694761661445742010-08-05T10:51:16.309-04:002010-08-05T10:51:16.309-04:00Re: the first question: I don't think it's...Re: the first question: I don't think it's possible for her to choose a life with Peeta in District 12 without it being part of the Capitol's design. All of Peeta and Katniss's interactions (except for the childhood bread incident) have happened after the Capitol threw them together.
