To all the people from the Capitol out there:
Do you really think it is fair to oppress the poor, deprive them of essential rights, make them live with horrible living conditiones, enforce their children to fight against each other and particularly enforce them to kill other kids?!I can't imagine what's going on in the Gamemakers' heads.
How can they be happy while exerting power over people in such a cruel way?
Their sense of entertainment is built upon the fears of kids which were stolen from their families and have to fight for their lives now.
I know the audience wants to see drama and expects a good show. You love to delight in other people's sorrow. Do you?
You are pretty thrilled when a little weak girl can't defend herself and has to die painfully alone in the woods, far away from her mother. Am I right?
I want you to ask yourself if you really think this is human? Does this really agree with you spirit and your morality?
I know the government has a cruel and hierarchical system, but don't you mind that you are ruled over by an all powerful leader probably the rest of your lives? Don't you want to be free?
Of course I know about your wealth and that you don't have to hunt for your food or something like that. Your lives are easy and full of problems which deals with questions like: "Shall I eat caviar or lobster today?", "What shall I wear tomorrow?" or "Shall I sponsor one of the kids in the Hunger Games to watch he or she one day more fighting for life, suffering or finally dying of starvation? I think it would be very amusing :)"
Only the imagination of the audiences' thoughts or rather your thoughts makes me angry as well as sad.
Above I wrote I know how good your lives are, inspite of the hierarchical system. But think about never being completely free in your whole life. There's always someone who has the control over you. You are only a marionette of the government. They influences and enforces you to be unjust, cruel and inhuman.
Do you really want that? I don't think so.
It is not possible to overlook the big inequality between the people in Panem and also between the people in the Hunger Games!
So why you are so spineless out there and why you aren't willed to help us and especially the kids who lose their dignity and finally their lives in the games?
If you think you aren't such a vulgar person who wants to get entertained by watching such a cruel competition, you should do something against it! NOW!
Or do you want even more innocent children who get killed without a convincing reason?
I need your help to draw everybody's attention to the injustice and cruelity of the Hunger Games.
Instead of supporting the show by watching it, help to boycott it!
Do good and make a difference!
Especially out of love to children.
Yours faithfully,
Katniss Everdeen, The Girl on Fire
Your blog entry is very good!
ReplyDeleteI like your arguments,examples (like:"Shall I eat caviar or lobster today?") and I can also see how much you don't like the Hunger Games and the people of Panem should do something!
Good work! :)
